Fun fact. Anyone with basic metal working skills can make their own rasp. Followed by a simple heat treat and you can have whatever shape and grit you desire . In an afternoon you can knock out the perfect rasp the first time you try and get better from there
That's a fun idea. If you have the time. Thanks my friend. Jesus loves you.
to clean a rasp, a good way is to use a brass brush, it doesn't damage the rasp and it goes into the shapes real nicely
I'm a woodworker, never made a bow, but the hand stitched rasps and just the regular rasps by Narex are quality for the price you pay. They've been making chisels and rasps for about a century, so they have that going for them, everything is made in the Czech republic as well. I'm not sure if you have a spokeshave in your workflow, but if you don't I would definitely add one of those as well. And lastly a die grinder with kutzall burrs / angle grinder with kutzall discs make quick work of general shaping.
Great breakdown. Thank you. Surprised no one's noticed you walking under the ladder at the start!
The 4 in 1 is just a great carpentry tool in general.
Great stuff! đ
Hey Kramer, I echo others who recommend the pricier hand stitched rasps from Auriou or Gramercy tools. If itâs a tool you work with everyday, you will save time/money/efficiency and less clean-up work in the long run with a tool that is created to produce a consistent surface in between levels of coarseness. I think they also will be more versatile in the overall shape of the tool as well (long parallel sides and a rapid narrowing in the last ~2â or so). Iâve never regretted the investment and I only need three sizes for the many types of projects I work on.
Great information, thanks for sharing!
Oh hell yes. As someone that builds guitars for a living, a great tool is a joy to use, and if it works great, you work more accurately, faster, less effort, etc., but donât over look the excellent card scraper.
IMHO, The older 'hand stitched' NICHOLSON wood rasp are the bomb. I have both the 49 & 50 (probably 20 years old) & they can hog off hard wood easily or be used for very fine detail work. I paid good money for them & consider them priceless. đđ I also use soapstone to load all my rasp & files (wood or metal working) to allow them to work longer & more efficiently.
I havent heard of loading files with soap stone, I assume you just file over the soap stone and that helps with keeping the edges or ?
@@sierraridgereaper It fills the gaps/grooves/teeth & helps prevent clogging.
What a great sponsor you have !!! đčâđ
French rasps are pricey, but huge selection. liogier and Aurio are the best in the world. But my Nicholson made in the USA are the great. But yes..French rasps are amazing, I use them for rifle stock shaping.
Canât wait until I order a bow from you. They look nice. I hope the handle fits good.
I can tell you that I love mine.
This video was needed badly.
Kramer, wanted to share this, maybe it seems too obvious but it's my solution to file limitations. I use various sizes of dowel up to maybe 2 inch dia as long as you like, say 18 inch length. Pick your sandpaper grit, 100 gr is nice. Pre cut your sandpaper to make a perfect complete wrap, edges just meeting. Spray the back of the paper with spray adhesive, then attach it to the dowel. When it wears out, use a heat gun to help remove and change the paper. Saves you from those deep gouges you often get from a coarse file that take so long to sand out. You can do this with a paint stick or any odd shape stick you might find useful.
You are rock!
@Kramer Ammons, look into luthier suppliers for rasps.
as someone else said maybe try a shinto rasp. don't know if they make a half round but certainly doesn't seem to clog
Good stuff, enjoying the informational vids. What about Shinto rasps? Not sure if anyone else asked already.
If you don't need a rounded side the Shinto saw file/rasp is amazing. Very inexpensive and works great. It's between $22 and $38 on Amazon currently.
Nice break down, I build lots of different things, so I have over a hundred files and the same amount of chisels. Sad to hear about Nicolson's, they were good files. I recently got some files from my welding shop, a new name that I'm not remembering at the moment, but they cut good. Not a rasp though.
I love my Nicholson #49 and 4-in-1!
Interesting video. Any thoughts on working together with a (local) rasp manufacturer to create your own (set of) rasps to sell as a bowyers raspkit?
I got a pair of the hand struck dragon rasps from Stewmac over 10 years ago. They carried me through the entirety of making various stringed instruments and I still use them. The coarse is still very sharp and while it only cuts just a little faster than my old Nicholson, it leaves a very fine finish by comparison. It is probably comparable to a 30 grit sandpaper finish. The fine doesn't cut quite as fast as the Nicholson, but it is more like a 60 grit finish.
The total for the two was just under $100 in 2010, and they're worth every penny.
The triangle shape might bother you, but at least the coarse is big enough to get a good stroke in.
I just went and looked them up for the first time in many years. I guess there's both large and small for both coarse and fine.
There's also a double radius rasp that looks like it is exactly what you want in your perfect rasp.
I could also be way off on the price. They're all around $100 each now, so maybe I was remembering the price for one.
Nothin beats a Shinto rasp for speed and smooth removal
Ever considered designing your own shatterproof ultimate rasp? i'd buy it in an instant!
French hand stitched rasps are amazing, but they are very expensive .
Hi. Hope my old rasp I got out of a old garage is enough đ
@Kramer Ammons Have you heard of a "Shinto Saw Rasp"???đ€
Can you show how to make a fiberglass bow
When you first started making bows, how many failed before making a good one?
I have two important questions,
1) when you were making your bow/bow limbs, what brand of Epoxy adhesive did you use?
2) How to choose which brand of Epoxy adhesive should be used?
I have seen on other videos EA-40 2 part epoxy
@@fulcrum789
Thank you!
@@matthewyu3531
I have purchased EA40 and it is amazing. It will cure on its own in 72 hours if you get a hot box or make a hot box you can cure it much faster. Just read the instructions.
Did you not do any research on the topic? There's literally a handcrafted, premium rasp that is perfect for bowyers. "Half-round lateral rasp" designed by Tom Fidgen, made by Noel Liogier.
time to learn how to hand cut files, lmao
I would like to buy a bow made from you. There's a chance to get one and send it to Spain? 'cause I'm Spaniard and living here. If you need me for private messages just ask. Thx in advance
J.D. P Thanks for reaching out! We do ship to spain, you can shop bows here: www.shatterproofarchery.com/bows more bows will be in stock soon:)
@@kramerammonsarchery thx! I'll check da website really appreciate! Keep going!

Hey man I stumbled across your videos just days ago.
And I have a question you might be able to answer me.
The question is: For how much money can you/ one sell good handmade bows?
Because I am a carpenter from Germany and I should be able to build some really decent bows. On top of that I have a lot of fun making them.
I really like your videos, please keep up the good work. I'm learning a lot from them.
Thank you.
Unsure if you respond to older videos, but here goes. *WHY DONT YOU MODIFY YOUR RASPS* on the grinder like the rest of us?! Virtually every wood worker I know will take their rasp to a grinder or dremel the moment it comes out of the package. I have probably 100 custom modified rasps, that are specific to individual projects. You'll never find a perfect rasp, because each shape lends itself to a specific project. Seriously, take your time, and put the effort into modifying your rasps, the way you do your handles. You'll kick yourself for not doing it a decade ago.
Trash-ure perfect!
Ever use a file card to clean out files? looks like a short haired, wide wire brush
