Pencil Shave

[Christophe Mineau]

your country still makes decent files and rasps!

Yes ! you're probably talking about that :

For those who have no time, you can jump to 6'20

It's a pity, I just have Auriou gouges, but not (yet) the famous "râpe fauteuil" (literally armchair rasp) or "râpe feuille de sauge" (literally sage leaf rasp), they are really loved by luthiers for shaping the necks and heels. They say they are really cutting tools, and not just sawdust making tools ...

Auriou is a good example of craftsmanship that survive, but in France, like elsewhere, there are so much being given up ...
I dream one day to get an occupation around that ...
