Got a new tool.  A cabinet rasp, brand name Auriou.  Ten inches long, with #9 grain, which is their way of grading the grit.  I ordered it from Highland Woodworking back in Jan right after the new year, and it just came yesterday. i got intrigued by the video of how they are hand made, or hand stitched, in France.  At $134.00, I hope I get enough use out of it to justify the price.  

 

 

Good for you. They can be handy .

NICE!!

Congrats Tom on the new "member to the family."

Thanks for the video too. Very interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed watching.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the new rasp...Obviously a well made, hand-crafted tool.

 Chris Schwarz highly recommends these.

Yeah, it was expensive.  In my bank account's defense, I had a $100 gift card from Christmas, so it covered most of my purchase.  The card came from my wife, which means that I still paid the whole amount, but it didn't feel like it. If I get another Auriou rasp, it will probably be a finer grain, and then no more.
