You have got to see this

Highland's Hardware did a video on how Auriou Rasps are manufactured.
You have got to watch to see how they put those teeth on a rasp.
My reaction "You have got to be kidding!"

No wonder a Auriou Rasp costs what it does.

I have a whole new appreciation for the collection on rasps I received from my father from his dad.

Thank you for sharing, that was fantastic.

Wow - I didn't see that coming! Based on that video it's amazing those things don't sell for about a thousand bucks a unit ... those guys are truly craftsmen!

Thanks for passing that along.

I think I would dread going to work every day if I were the guy tapping the teeth into those files.

My fingers were cramping up just watching them. It's amazing that they do all that freehand.

WOW!! I have made small drill bits by hand with my Foredom, and after seeing this I have a whole new appreciation for the set of Grobet Jeweler's files I have. I have used them for 35 years and they are still my go to tools for fine work on jewelry.

I think I could make a rasp quicker with the use of my GraverMax and a carbide graver though.
