For shaping wood the Shinto Rasp is highly effective. From kayaks to guitar necks and cabriole legs to eagle wings, Paul would always have one of these on hand.
Paul made this video on the Shinto Sawrasp for you, our audience of hand tool enthusiasts, because it works so well and the cost is less prohibitive than hand-cut rasps but it works almost as well. Paul wanted to say upfront that he does not nor will he take any payment for showing this tool in this video.

Alright I'm sold, take my money.

@kristoffmussolini5186 3 года назад

As a professional maker of English longbows, I get through about 3-4 of these a year. I go across the grain with the coarse side for removing large amounts of wood, then flip it over and use the finer side going with the grain and gives you an almost 80 grit type of finish. Almost like using a smoothing plane for ironing out small hills and valleys where you absolutely cant have any chance of tear out . All the best

@JarlSeamus 4 года назад

I bought one of those a year or so ago on Amazon and was amazed at how aggressive it can be, yet still controllable. The biggest advantage over a conventional rasp or file is that the open design prevents clogging. When I first saw it, I thought it was a stack of hack saw blades riveted together, but it's far more sophisticated than that. Fantastic addition to my tool chest.

@bartelR 4 года назад

by the way, i‘m really impressed by the great colors in your videos. very warm, relaxing and cosy setting. not easy at all to get that right. it‘s an absolutely underrated thing that every viewer takes for granted.

@dajzilla 2 года назад

What an odd thing to say. lol

@luvinfunvan 3 года назад

Have had one of these in my shop for 15 years. This one tool has paid for itself many times over, it is as valuable to me as my table saw. Incredible value. One of my most favourite features is the lack of fine dust production in use. Love would be an understatement.

@ajeje1996 4 года назад

I absolutely love these. Sometimes I just pick a wood scrap from the shop's floor and start working it like a madman with this rasp because it's just so exhilarating to see a piece of wood go from something to nothing in a matter of seconds.

@bighands69 3 года назад

Little bits of scrap can be fantastic trim and mouldings. I use all my small wood for that. You can stick beautiful little features on furniture and cabinets with a simple little bit of scrap.

@alanscott5942 4 года назад

Hi Paul, my father has just bought one, been an extreme traditionalist this was quite radical for him at the age of 85 😁currently using it to dress a sheep's horn for a stick handle, he's well impressed 👍👍

@bmandrakeeee8378 4 года назад

I probably will not buy one (even being a inexpensive tool, the currency exchange to my country is not in favor of me doing so), but what I like is that, by doing so few of these tool reviews and never trying to convince the subscribers to buy an expensive or ineffective tool, we all know that you must be really impressed with the rasp. Credibility is one of your channel strongest forces. Thank you for all (I still use the screw in a block of wood as a marking gauge, lol).

@tayyabsafdar7069 3 года назад

Thanks Paul at least one tool you appreciated from the Orient. I like your way of thinking your tools to be number one. God bless you. Like your honest approach to your profession. Keep it up. I am also a wood work lover. Almost 65 years have passed, l am 73, started tinkering when 10.

@Rodrat 4 года назад

Thanks for the great review and demonstration Paul. You are an invaluable asset to us all.

@dmartin1650 4 года назад

I've been using one of these since I say Ben from Crimson Custom Guitars using one. They're a great versatile tool and nice to see Paul demonstrating it here.

@loumonte658 4 года назад

Been using one for years and love it.

@ExploringWithPat73 4 года назад

Just purchased it on amazon. Grateful for your tool recommendations. Been watching your videos for a few years now. God bless you Paul.

@emm_arr 4 года назад

Good video. I showed this tool to some of my relatives just a few weeks back - as the most useful tool they probably had never heard of.

@dmitrijsokolov1859 4 года назад

Thanks for the review! The tool is excellent. I have been using it for more than a year.

@troyclayton 4 года назад

I bought a Shinto around 2005. I had no idea how wonderful it was. Thanks for the video, I've never seen anyone else use one.

@fepatton 4 года назад

I love mine! It makes shaping a guitar neck a quick and fun task. Very versatile tool.

@experdivolution 4 года назад

i bought one after i saw your videos and i think i'll never be able to go back to work without one, this thing is amazing

@JohnMcGrathManInShed 4 года назад

One of my favourite tools always find a use for it, guitar necks or axe handles very handy for shaping wood.

@ajeje1996 4 года назад

Same, I use it to shape banjo necks. Works amazingly fast while also leaving an easily polishable (is that even a word?) surface

@richardcook555 4 года назад

I've been using this rasp for several years. It is one of my primary tools for finishing green wood work after the bulk of the wet is out of it.

@jeremybirmingham2316 3 года назад

Generally I just look for videos by keyword when researching something, I never subscribe, but I just love the way you talk and the way you demonstrate, so there you go. I look forward to watching more videos.

@zbqb84a 4 года назад

I use one for guitar building - neck carving and body contouring, and I absolutely love it. Very inexpensive and highly effective.

@stefinatrix3426 4 года назад

Great review, Paul. I picked up one of these a few months ago for a project and I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked for hogging away material. I was lucky enough to get one on sale for a great price, but even with no discount, I would recommend this tool without reservation.

@nightcatarts 4 года назад

Thanks, Paul. These had entirely passed me by, but I've been looking for a high speed rasp that won't shred the wood like my solid one does, & this looks exceedingly easy to use compared with having to sand.

@thomasarussellsr 4 года назад

Thanks for the review. I've been waiting for a high-end furniture maker to review this tool. Now I would feel justified in purchasing one. Your opinion is quite valuable in the wood working industry.

@jumbo4billion 4 года назад

I just love them, been using mine this morning.

@markbryan9989 4 года назад

I had never heard of a Shinto Rasp before. Looks very useful. Thanks Paul!

@andrewtaylor7640 4 года назад

I used one when building a canoe - great tool. The aggressive side requires a light-touch!

@johnawhiting 4 года назад

Hi Paul. Merry Christmas. I Love this tool. I bought one a while back and use it often. Enjoy your videos,

@samdelonas7079 4 года назад

Thanks very much for your review. I have been looking at one of these for a while but wasn't sure if it was just another gimmick tool. Really appreciate your review and all your other reviews.

@erniegreen3447 4 года назад

Thank you. I've been looking a this. I'm going to purchase one now.

@not-a-raccoon 2 года назад

I've used these when I restore antique axes to shape and fit the handles to the heads. Extremely useful tool.

@seanbrown4920 4 года назад

I got one to shape the neck on my first guitar build after Crimson Guitars recommended it. That tool really works.

@geoffreyboyling615 4 года назад

I've had one of these rasps for 5 or 6 years now. I use it mainly for initial shaping knife handles, before I change to a cabinet maker's rasp and sandpaper. It's excellent!

@Ticky66MN 4 года назад

Thank you Paul. I will be adding that to my shop.

@jimbo2629 4 года назад

I can’t believe how useful this is. While waiting for it to arrive I sort of regretted ordering it as it’s not a standard tool. I’ve used it a lot. It’s coarser than a file and leaves a far better finish than any rasp I have tried previously. Of course if Paul recommended it then it’s going to good. I shouldn’t have worried.

@kaanyirmibir4087 2 года назад

Great video! No music 👍 Simple & effective. Thanks!

@stefanopassiglia 3 года назад

I bought it after watching this video and I'm now using it often, it's really the best rasp I can put my hands on.

@grupp61 4 года назад

Great product review Paul. Now I have to increase my tool compendium to include this rasp!!

@MrCujo1 4 года назад

The amount of shavings/dust coming off on each stroke is as astonishing as the ease with which you use this, which is as astonishing as the quality and smoothness of the finish at the end of the work. It is brute savage, with just the right amount of civility. I must have one for my knife handle work.

@paulorchard7960 4 года назад

Nowyhat is a great tool! I will find and equip myself with one as soon as I can!

@steveo0232 4 года назад

I bought one of these years ago on the advice of Ben Crowe at Crimson Guitars for shaping guitar necks. One of the most useful tools that everybody needs to have in their toolkit. Can't recommend it highly enough.

@MatthewSherriff85 4 года назад

Got mine last Christmas for knifemaking, its awesome

@JerrySmith-ih9rd 4 года назад

Just ordered one, thank Paul.

@johne7100 4 года назад

Very fond of mine, too, although for guitar necks I like a spokeshave better, though that's maybe because I love using a spokeshave. If you need sawdust to make filler with (it happens), lay the rasp on a bit of paper on the bench and rub a bit of wood over it. The diamond shapes stop the dust spreading, then you collect it on the paper.

@Thecoolman1 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip, gonna make some ebony and ash dust later on

@migo-migo9503 4 года назад

I bought one of these when I was vacationing in Japan a couple years ago. They are extremely useful! I believe I paid about $10 for mine.

@frenstcht 4 года назад

Thanks! I've been wondering about these things.

@lucasmoreno3213 4 года назад

Was just considering buying one off of Amazon last night, you've sold me

@cliveclapham6451 4 года назад

They are totally awesome, got two the file and the sort with the knob on pointy end. 👍👍👍👍👍

@hueso526 4 года назад

i've had one for quite awhile and absolutely love it. i've even used mine to make curves. but i would like to add a note of caution. if you aren't careful the edges can accidentally dig in putting a gouge in a corner of your work.

@hankthebugman 4 года назад

from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Cool. First time hearing about the Shinto file. Must get one.

@adamhau5 4 года назад

G'wan Ben and Crimson Guitars, great recommendation on this tool

@tyremanguitars 4 года назад

what a great tool, I think I know what tool I will buy next.

@MDR-hn2yz 2 года назад

Nice review. I’m going to pick one of these up for making axe handles and other wooden tools.

@ralfbear 4 года назад

I've used one for years for making handles for blades and axes and love it. It takes down brass pins and tubes in the handles effortlessly.

@couerleroi1 3 года назад

Pleasure to watch you work.

@daveybphotography 4 года назад

They also have a "Planer style" one with a differently angled and removable handle. I have that one but without the handle since it was a hand me down from a co-worker.

@twmd 4 года назад

have had one for 4 years. use to all the time.

@bobomonkey702 4 года назад

I always wanted to know what he thought about this tool. Finally lol. For myself, The first time I used it. I was shocked how powerful it was as a rasp. It’s like a power tool that runs off slight elbow grease. Besides it’s much cheaper, and more efficient then all those over priced rasps.

@sergeantcrow 4 года назад

Impressive.. I use a 'Farriers' rasp for longbow shaping and it is also excellent..

@Hanimex. 4 года назад

Huge difference between you and Rob Cosman. You are educational in everything you post. Rob always sounds like a sleazy salesman toting his line of tools when showcasing a tool. Thanks Paul!

@jeffhansman2829 2 месяца назад

Rob is a master craftsman, to be sure. But yeah, he (and several others on YT) is now in sales. This is not to say his tools are not good, but I cannot afford him. This rasp is affordable and worth every penny.

@gerbutt 4 года назад

I got mine after watching Ben from Crimson Guitars shaping guitar necks with it! I use mine for shaping axe handles and it’s fantastic. If anyone reading this is thinking of getting one then Crimson usually have a sale on around Christmas 🎄

@sihall1975 4 года назад

One of the best tools money can buy

@ivanlai2453 4 года назад

Since got this Shinto rasp, rarely pick up the other rasps. Very reasonable price and shape wood efficiently.

@scottsimpey2965 4 года назад

Great review on that Paul. I have seen other RU-vidrs use on of those and have wanted to get one for quite some time but haven’t ever known what the actual name of it was.

@briantaylor9266 3 года назад

My father had one of these, or something very similar, more than 50 years ago. I need to get one.

@MrLpeteo 4 года назад

Thank you I have always had trouble using a rasp didn’t know they were right/left handed. I am lefty.

@alext9067 4 года назад

I didn't know either. I have to look at a rasp closely and see why that should be.

@piggybakkers 4 года назад

Shintos are not right or left biased. doesn't matter you can use it either way.

@PoppabearsCave 9 месяцев назад

One of the absolute best tools ever made.

@piko2427 4 года назад

Owning one of this for three years, combining with iwasaki files is perfect.

@jamesb3092 Год назад

The Shinto saw file is a great tool! The new ones have either a plastic (wood look) handle or a soft grip, I recommend the soft grip. Great woodworking tool.

@billgiles3261 2 года назад

My Christmas present today!

@SwearingenTurnings 4 года назад

I just got this in the mail yesterday. Was able to very quickly able to fine tune a rectangular hole to fit ducting for a build in my shop. I will also highly praise the tool. The instructions, though? They need a new translator!

@bsharporbflat8378 3 года назад

I love this tool

@k.b.woodworker3250 4 года назад

And the technique on this tool. I own it and have used it, but now will use it more.

@sumandl 4 года назад

This is so funny; i recieved the 200 mm version today direct from Japan! Great tool!

@hassanal-mosawi6049 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing that

@athmostafa2462 4 года назад

I see good reviews of this tool , maybe I will give it a try . 🤔

@williamkennedy4264 4 года назад

It’s a superb tool

@ojtrumpet 4 года назад

Yes, very good for shaping the neck of a guitar!

@MrTerrymiff 3 года назад

The thing that grabbed my attention was at 4:45 when you were about to attack the wood against the grain. I expected some form of disaster but was pleasantly surprised.

@thedevilinthecircuit1414 9 месяцев назад

A close look at the constriction reveals it's made from toothed steel bands very similar to that in a hacksaw blade. The zig-zag bends in the 'blades' and the riveted spacers keep the teeth oriented like the alternating teeth of a file and it cuts incredibly efficiently. And it's easy to control.

@purplehaze9413 4 года назад

That's an interesting plane you have Mr. Sellers. I'm talking about the one that is closest to the center of the bench. Doesn't look like bevel-up plane nor Stanley-Bailey pattern.

@danielfischmithartemende424 4 года назад

:D seen this rasp 30 years ago at my granpas shop, it was availible at the "Heimwerker" store in GDR, a really nice tool

@garykarel674 4 года назад

One of my kids got me a Shinto rasp, it works so much nicer than my old Stanley rasp.

@jeffhansman2829 2 месяца назад

Having only recently taken up woodworking, I have been acquiring tools I figured were "necessary." As it turns out, too many have proven not (yet) to be, but this rasp is in my top three that I would not do without. If you are using your typical flat or curved rasp, just get one of these. You won't believe how much better it is than any other you've used. Of course, if Paul prefers it, you can pretty much figure it's a winner, but find out for yourself.

@stevesoutdoorworld4340 4 года назад

Cool tool.I think that would be a good tool for bow making.

@hazlett1927 4 года назад

Some time ago I asked what you thought about this rasp. I took your advice and ordered one that same day. Very, very pleased with this tool. Now, you have shown yet another use for it. Why bother getting out a router? Thanks, loads.

@pdbay47 4 года назад

It's the best tool I know for chamfering the bottoms of table and chair legs to avoid splintering.

@craftsmanmk8499 4 года назад

Not just that, but I use it to even the chair or table legs if one is longer. The easiest way I have found is with the shinto.

@jccapwell 4 года назад

I have one but only used it minimally. Now it will see more use.

@numberofcases Год назад

Thanks for Video. Rasps are looks great. But the most great tool is your Vice.

@CloudfeatherRusticWorks 10 месяцев назад

I use one for bow making and really like the convenience of flipping back and forth between coarse and smooth. I just wish they made one that was slightly rounded on each side for getting into hollows.

@ronaldjohnson7905 4 года назад

I love my Shinto saw rasp.

@johncarruthers5020 4 года назад

I use mine mainly for quick stock removal on rocking horses. Before I used surforms, but they clog so quickly and I spent more time unblocking them than using them.

@constantinosschinas4503 4 года назад

i find this tool quite atrractive to be honest, seems efficient as well. would like to see a V carve with it too. it could hold a nice straight edge due to the smooth side that could work as a guide.

@littlejimmy7402 Год назад

I got really into turning a chunk of dowel into a shorty handle for a straw-broom head as my shop dust broom yesterday. I did more filing yesterday than I had in decades, I'll finish it today. I thought I'd take a look at some files as I feel the urge to keep going. First time seeing a Shinto rasp, how ever did I live without one?

@Ed-lz4jv 4 года назад

i'm going to get one, any similar for doing inside curves/arcs?

@cammando2363 Год назад

I wish wood wasn’t so expensive at the moment. I used to build wood stuff in school and a tool like this would have been nice 15 years ago

@RogerWarszawa Месяц назад

Rasps are left and right handed?! 😮 I did not know that, and as a lefty I guess I've just discovered what I may have been doing wrong. Time to get me a Shinto rasp 👍
