Nothing cuts better than this.

11 ай бұрынIn this video I decided to make a sign for my workshop from an antique logging saw that I picked up at auction.
The letters had to be cut from a single Maple board and shaped. So I decided to get a Shinto Rasp to speed up the process. I was blown away.

Just a quick one this week. I hope you enjoy it. Do you have a workshop sign? I'd love to see them.
@michael_h 7 ай бұрын
Please try pushing the rasp exactly along its longitudinal axis. You will remove even more material and get a perfectly smooth (as if planed) surface. This works because in this direction, the individual tooth edges overlap to act like a single edge across the rasp's width, i.e. like a plane. It's not quite as ergonomic, but the results are worth it.

I could not agree more about the Shinto. I made 3 reindeer, as a Christmas gift, out of fallen hurricane tree logs and branches. I ground the chamfers for the legs and necks, as well as rounding off the bark on the bodies and heads, in no time at all. I can't imagine any other tool, removing so much material with that much speed, accuracy, and safety. P.S. Love your new sign!

Thank you for this. It just shows that, after more than 45 years of woodworking, you can still learn. I’m not a great user of rasps - I have several but I rarely find the need to use them - no doubt, if I did more exterior and/or large work, then they would be used more. I make mostly interior pieces and rasps are generally not needed. Bit, if I need to get another or replacement rasp, I will certainly try out a Shinto rasp.

Hi Theo. More than welcome. It's hard to know if something is worth the cost if you aren't going to use it all the time. After all there are work arounds that Im sure you have like low grit sandpaper. But like you say, if you ever need one, at least they are fairly inexpensive.

Have to say I LOVE shintos. They cut through so quickly but with care and focus on grain direction the fine side can leave a finish equivalent to 100 grit. Another cool feature is that the edges have teeth as well so it is possible to cut straight down if there is enough space for the width of the rasp.

They do keep the rust at bay on metal planes and chisels, and Renaissance Wax has many uses - such as stopping brass tarnishing and on polished stone - but I mainly use it on woodworking planes.

I have a Shinto rasp and I have rotary rasps. The Shinto is no match for rotary rasps. Pro tip: The next time you paint something small put a piece of solid wire through it. That way you can paint all of it and then hang it up to dry. I use 16 gauge tie wire but some old metal coat hanger would work too. You'd like one of my scroll saws for cutting letters out. You can pretty much take them right off the saw.

Glad you found the saw rasp. I've been shaping things for years with one. Can't beat it for removing stock quickly. Next, you should be onto vintage "hand picked" files. That may not be the correct term, but what I mean is a file that a human has made each tooth on the file. I'm still using Grandpa's; mainly, because I use the old vinegar trick to keep them sharp and clean. Another, great video, Mark. Finally, when you get another old saw, you can learn how to sharpen and set the teeth. You aren't going to buy a modern saw as good. Cheers!

Also my Japanese saw didn't like the screw it found and so needs some teeth realigning. I think that a learning weekend is in order for me. And soon. Should be a lot of fun.

Hi just found channel. My only complaint is using vinegar to clean up saw blade. Yes, it works every day of the week, it's an acid. Use WD40, Inox, CRC any light oil. Unless you neutralise the acid, you will get rust back. Why is this so? with an abrasive medium you leave micro scoring in the plate, this is where the vinegar sits. The Shinto file is good but don't throw out your files so fast. Many wood working projects use different woods, so the Shinto may work really well on some but not so good on other timbers. An arsenal of tools maybe the way to go. But in life we try this, try that, what works in UK, USA, Australia, will differ, types of wood and conditions. So far like your channel stay safe.

Hi Robin. Thank you for your comment. And for your advice. I had to edit a fair amount for the video as it was so long. One part was where I washed the vinegar off and then applied a coat of 3 in 1 oil. The reason that I edited it out was because the letters didn't stick due to the oil and I had to in turn wipe most of that off. It was a real pain. But you are right, U have now left it open to rust annoyingly. I honestly had no idea about vinegar then abrasive, makes complete sense. And I take your point about the rasps and files. Again, to be honest, I changed the title as a last attempt to get people to notice the video. Create some intrigue if you like. The irony being that I used the needles files as much as the Shinto I guess. thank you for your comment again and for watching in the first place. Much appreciated,

I used a Shinto rasp at Crimson Guitars and it roughed out the neck of the guitar I built there very quickly. If you can justify the price of the Iwisaki flat and half round files you will not be disappointed. After having roughed out my neck with the Shinto rasp my instructor (Sean) had something he had to take care of so he said for me to sit at my desk and tidy the neck up with the Iwisaki files. He came back half an hour later, looked at my neck and said "I said use the files only, there's no point sanding it just yet". I told him that I had only used the files and not sanded and that there was no sand paper on my bench. He looked the neck up and down then said "very well done" to me. I just had to buy a pair of those files and I use them for just about everything. Incidentally, my guitar neck only took about 10 minutes of sanding at a later time. If you would like to see my guitar then check out WOTB202 and WOTB203 here on KZfaq. I am Rik in them.

I've seen other people using saw rasps, some seem to even seem to be able to use them almost sideways, like a spokeshave, though without the bouncing and rattling on the hard wood.

There are quite a few people who have commented that this is exactly what they use the shinto for. And some of them are very experienced.

It appears the handle on yours is noticeably larger than mine. Yeah, the S was needed. It would be confusing on which kind of TART you were referring to.

Love it, Mark! Although I want to request, if one of those letters ever falls off on camera, please leave it in or add it to the end as a "blooper" ;p On a more serious note, what's your opinion on using a Dremel or other rotary tool for say, some of that fine detail removal work?
@startmaking1 11 ай бұрын
Hi Matthew. That's a deal. Now I want it to happen. A rotary tool once I have electricity down there would be such a time saver. one day.

I have Surform rasps which I occasionally use and they do the job for the small amount of time I need them.

Hi. I always say that if you dont need a tool then you have saved money. I find that jobs come up where I can't not buy something and that is generally how I build my tools collection.

get yourself a cheap scroll saw for letters, save huge amount of time.

I would love to. I would love a band saw but all in good time I guess.

Scroll saw cheaper but do less with them. Bandsaw better for woodworking

Shinto Rasp, Ryoba Saw, Makita Tools... Well, you're slowly getting shifted to japanese tools, aren't you :) Btw, does the 2 hours Lighting Battery still an issue ? If it is... maybe considering making a smart lighting setup using smart led strip ? Make it foldable ang hangable in the frech cleat section ? Led Strip and White Acrylic sheet are pretty cheap, if I remember correctly

Hi NIto. Well noticed. I actually had that exact thought when I was popping the links into the description and actually took the Makita Jigsaw out. In truth Makita have not been great this week. I love the tools but the treatment I got was underwhelming. Sad as I wasn't asking for anything for free, just some useful info on a tool I was looking at. Anyway, yes the lights are an issue but I hope to have a big fix in place by mid August. fingers crossed. If it falls through though I will take a look at the Led replacement as the videos are suffering .

@@startmaking1 Yeah, Makita don't even have service center in my city. But so far I only had 1 makita broke on me (trimmer). The rest has been serving me well.for at least 5 years with almost consistent weekly use. I'm glad to hear the Lighting solution will be done as soon as August. Hopefully it will spur you to make more content per month

@@startmaking1: I have, over the years, found Japanese appliance/tool instructions to be very lacking. It seems to be assumed you are already an engineer/expert, in whatever field is applicable and then, of course, there is the language/translation barrier. 30 years ago, I bought a Sony amplifier. It has a control labeled "Soundfield" but Nothing in the instructions, to explain what it is or how it affects the output. I still have no idea what that means and no longer care. 🙄😣 A few years ago, I purchased a Zojirushi bread making machine (Excellent choice, Top shelf). I emailed customer support , to ask if ambient room temperature affects the operation of the machine. The reply was a direct quote, from the instruction booklet, which told me Nothing. I tried again at two, well separated, later dates and got the same BS reply. ☹😖 So, if an English speaking person buys anything Japanese, which requires instructions, you are on your own. 😁✌🖖

I hope so. There is a big change coming and I am excited. Don't want to sound cryptic but it is still only 90% decided. Will let everyone know soon.

Wow frustrating. I just emailed Makita and said something along the lines of please can you direct me to the right person to ask a question about a tool that I am thinking about getting. The reply said, sorry we are not looking to deal with and content creators through sponsorships. I hadn't even told them what I do. I replied saying just that and that I wanted nothing from them just some info and got the same reply. Really strange. I then started to get a little miffed and said that I use only Makita and maybe they should check a video or two to see how well I speak of them. They replied saying yes they had already checked it and were not looking to work with a creator. I never actually got to ask them about the reciprocating saw that I was thinking about buying. Shame.

Hello ... I would disagree with you, this is a drywall file as far as I know ... There are many files of various sizes and shapes for wood as well as metal ... wood files do much much better edging than yours plaster file !

Hi Zeliko. Thank you for your interesting comment. I am not sure that you are right but, then I am not claiming to be an expert. I was under the impression that the Shinto Rasp File's primary purpose is wood but can also be used for Plaster as a secondary use. Also from the experience I have had, and again I am no expert and have not used all of the files out there, but I have nothing that can remove wood as fast or as cleanly as this. Which files are you considering to be better. I am genuinely interested in learning.
