Thread: Shinto rasp an why didn’t I think of that.

I love my Shinto rasp. That is a great idea. Only thing is that I would shorten the bolt a little. To switch sides there is too much thread for quick change over.

Now, where are my bolts and knobs again [emoji848]

Easier than having to change a knob?

Derek,Ye ok, alright you win, cheque is in the mail,

Well thanks too Derek, I’m now running ten years behind.

I did once rap some masking tape around the pointe end, if that counts for anything,

Ok Derek’s idea is good [emoji849].

Cheers Matt.

Didn't like that hex head bolt - a stainless cuphead bolt would be less obtrusive. And that plastic handle - yuk - gidgee or jarrah or horizontal would work far better.

EDIT: Derek's is a far better idea.

I have an antique from Europe - but it has vampire ancestry and doesn't work without blood sacrifice.

That ancestry runs deep an far, an has branched out far beyond the family of rasps, believe me I know.

Mate, thats not vampires- thats Yokai and they are next level, your lucky you made it this far....

To be frank, I don't use that extra handle any more. I found an easier method.

Just wrap self-sealing tape around the end to hold. I have done this on the handle as well for better grip.

Available from Bunnings.

Hi Derek

You have a pretty large project on your hands. If your interested I have 3 monstrerous rasp that will work 3 or 4x faster than a baby Shinto can. I don't use them that often so if you're interested I could drop them off. I work in Bentley which isn't that far.

Regards

Hi Martin

You are very generous and I am interested. Why not come around on Saturday morning and I will show you around and buy you a coffee (I make good coffee). Otherwise I am usually free at lunch time between patients (my rooms are above the garage/workshop ... no comments now )

Cheers Derek

Derek,

I drop them around 9.30 Saturday- be good to see your chairs in progress..

Regards

Thanks Martin. PM sent.

Cheers

Derek

you guys aren't lazy enough. I wear a glove. AT some point, harbor freight here started selling "mechanic's gloves" made out of leather, and I have about 4 pairs of them now. They're pretty nice to have grinding steel for what should be obvious reasons (not sanding off skin, not getting unneeded metal splinters, and not burning hands) - but they are not bulky and generally you can still do things like turn bolts with them on.

files and rasps that are crispy sharp or tools that hurt to hold are solved by them, too.

oh, the best part about the mechanic's gloves is they are about $8 and would outlast a whole box of heavy rubber gloves by some factor greater than 1.

(ah, they call them riding gloves - up to $9 now. some of the more plain work gloves are cheaper - like poly back and leather palm. I'm sure someone is importing the same stuff there and putting a different brand on them that's a play on an australian brand or word instead of american)

Hi David. What you describe sounds very much like what I call riggers gloves.
