Rasp handle...
« on: January 16, 2014, 02:12:21 pm »

First post in a long time...


Purchased this Dean Torges style Nicholson bowyer's rasp from 3Rivers a time back; a tool I highly recommend!
It came with a real crappy set of handles that I just finished to change.

I love making file handles. I save every piece of scrap osage that has a handle length in it, much better than throwing it on the burn pile.

You can make two ferrules out of a 35 cent copper pipe coupler from Lowe's by cutting it in half.

There is something about turning wood on a lathe that is relaxing and therapeutic.
