Have you made a video about surforms?

@simsyonline 2 года назад

You forgot to mention that the hand stitched ones are also available with "left handed" stitching! Also, a metal file works well once you are at the smoothing stage... and metal files are generally much cheaper than rasps.

@campbellmj9405 2 года назад

I bought some hand-stitched rasps a couple years ago -- really glad I did, noticeable difference over machine made. You may not need them, but you know you want them. Also, as others have mentioned, the Shinto saw rasp is an amazing tool.

@murphymmc 2 года назад

I acquired a Shinto saw rasp, fine on one side coarse on the other. It's a refined beast. You use one, you'll rarely pick up a different one. Exceptionally fast and yet capable of some detail shaping.

@davidwarren9204 2 года назад

Same here. Cheap, lasts forever, self-clearing. Just brilliant for both bulk removal and surprising detail.. They are indispensible, IMHO...

@RobCosmanWoodworking 2 года назад

Thanks for the comment

@3henry214 2 года назад

I just switched to using the Shinto rasps, they are great for hogging off material quickly, such as taking the square edges/corners off a square block to shape into a round, when not using power tools.

@davidcampbell2845 2 года назад

Always a pleasure to soak up some of this educational content and wisdom.

@vanshankguitars 2 года назад

I use a bunch of different rasps, Shinto saw rasps and even automotive bodywork flat rasps in my guitar building. Saves a lot of cutting and sanding.

Iwasaki - a Japanese manufacturer makes great rasps, significantly different than the European ones.

@RobCosmanWoodworking 2 года назад

I have never used the Japanese Shinto rasps

@SebR-FR 2 года назад

@@RobCosmanWoodworking Really you should ! A great rasp for shaping, very quick and efficient, easy cleaning, and cheap (even Paul Sellers likes it ^^) Iwasaki doesn't make the Shinto rasp, they make some kind of hybrid between a file and a float. This thing leave a really smooth surface like a plane and it does amazing work on end grain and are more efficient than a file. But they are grain sensitive (hope it makes sense, I'm french). I recomment you try a fine orx-fine one because this is quite agressive. BTW thank you for your very interresting videos.

@twistednerve8001 2 года назад

I wouldn't be without my Shinto Rasp.

@ionut5316 2 года назад

Shinto and Iwasaki are different brands. The Iwasaki rasps actually act like tiny planes taking small shavings. They produce chips rather than dust an dthey look more like files than rasps. I was hesitant, but they work very well and they are priced right.

@stufarnham 10 месяцев назад

I make a lot of tool handles for myself and others and do most of my final shaping with rasps. This allows me to finely tune the shape of the handle and accommodate individual needs. I have a friend who was born with a malformed hand, and I can make handles that fit his unusual grip perfectly. I acquired several socket chisels with handles I hated. All 4 have handles I shaped with rasps, and I love the results. Shaping with rasps is a process I enjoy immensely.

@J.A.Smith2397 2 года назад

One of the most underrated underused tools in the shop! Can do amazing things with a rasp and card scraper

@daw162 2 года назад

used double cut metal files with slightly wider and longer teeth (vs. pointy checkering style) make a good combination with inexpensive rasps. I'd bet a whole lot of expensive rasps are bought by people who don't use them much. I rarely use them on anything other than handles. Hand cut rasps are so much smoother since they don't row, but the file kind of negates that need and you don't feel like you have to be dainty or sparing with them.

@kennykong6330 2 года назад

Literally been working on a set of knife scales using rasps in the last few days. I used the Kutzall half-round 6" fine. It's a little bit different than traditional rasps but It works very well.

@RobCosmanWoodworking 2 года назад

Really good comment on another style rasp

@duvalbrice 2 года назад

In france we all use rasp, it's a must have when dealing with curves and shapes. You MUST NOT drag it backward cause it will dull the teeth way more quickly than when it's cutting wood.

@RobCosmanWoodworking 2 года назад

Great yip, thanks for the comment

@yaksauce Год назад

Also work well for sculpting with soft stone (alabaster, soap stone, etc).

@TheTranq 2 года назад

Cool, I didn’t know anything about rasps

@Andy_XT 2 года назад

For me this is a very important tool. The shinto must be great, but for certain profiles you need a flat and curved rasp. Unbeatable when making the handle of my speargun, for example.

@Erik_The_Viking 2 года назад

I have a Japanese style rasp and it's great - much more efficient than European rasps. Having a course and fine side provides a lot of flexibility for how much material to remove and it's easier to control.

@RobCosmanWoodworking 2 года назад

I have never used one. Luther likes his but says it doesn’t replace his fine and small rasps

If you're looking for some nice rasps, take a look at the dragon rasp from StewMac.

@michaellamore2831 Год назад

Rob, your guidance is much appreciated. Of the three you recommend you didn't specify length and manufacture. Any chance you could share that info. I understand why you wouldn't mention a manufacture, you could msg me if that works.

@starfishsystems 2 года назад

I've used a four-in-hand for the past fifty years or so. If you're way out in the bush somewhere and you're doing moderately fine handwork, it's a necessary finishing tool, possibly the last one you'll use before assembly. It's a bit heavy for its size, but compact and sturdy, and most of all dependable. With a little patience, it will put chamfers on edges or hollows on faces that need them.

@pureprotein9597 Год назад

How long do four-in-hand rasps last?

@bradleysickles8456 2 года назад

Could you do a segment on floats? Where and why would someone use them?

@edwinghysebrechts9377 2 года назад

Was just about to react on the original topic: he didn’t mention these. I have one with two sides from liogier: one side with course perpendicular lines and one fine skewed side, and really love these. I find it takes of a lot of material but leaves a great almost smooth finish, it compares more to planing really. Perfect for removing the marks of bigger rasps

@Butterbottom1 2 года назад

I know metal files are made with a 3-cornered version. How about wood rasps? Advantages?

@Kraker-Jack 2 года назад

Why do you have a 120mm Sabot round next to your bench?

@CrazyMagicHomelesGuy 2 года назад

I'd personally use rough metal files because with a rasp you cut file half of what you need. The other half you'll be filing and sanding to remove the gouges the rasp left.

@RobCosmanWoodworking 2 года назад

Thats why you use a medium and then fine rasps to smooth out the rough rasp

@mattschreiber4251 2 года назад

Quality rasps font leave tool marks like you're thinking of.

@AHauntedArmy 2 года назад

whats your thoughts on using a drafting brush with horsair over nylon/brass? i've been a bit worried that cleaning rasps with a hard material would dull them faster.

@chrisdamico6719 2 года назад

Brass is nowhere near as hard as steel. You'll run out of brush before you hurt a rasp or file. And anything softer than brass or stiff nylon won't adequately clean out the really stubborn bits of wood that clog things up.

I recall blacksmiths soaking rasps in horse urine to sharpen. I have also heard using vinegar. Dunno workshop myth?

@RobCosmanWoodworking 2 года назад

I never heard thst, maybe someone out there can help. Does anyone know?

@AirwolfCrazy 2 года назад

I have seen other videos on "sharpening" files where they are soaked in liquids. The soaking softened the build up of dust and crud in the teeth and made it easy to clean them. There was no sharpening of the cutting edge. I know from history urine get used for different processes (like dyes) but it is the ammonia from old urine that is the key ingredient. I cannot see how ammonia would do anything to help with sharpening.

Why couldn’t a machine be programmed to replicate the pattern of a hand stitched rasp?

@duvalbrice 2 года назад

There is no pattern that's why it doesn't vibrate. I guess you could program a robot hand to replicate a hand stitched one but it would be too expensive and it's a small market.

@RobCosmanWoodworking 2 года назад

Must be too expensive because no one does it
