That jig is genius

[@ocuanadesigns]

Thanks a million

[@wilsonhernandez8194]

awesome job mate learned a lot from you

[@amdiy2053]

Very helpful. Thank you 👍👍

[@glenking3337]

Just a little something for tose saw files, take an old highlighter pen from your kids/wife etc. Pull out the nub, fill with epoxy from a syringe and install file. And you have a Hi-vis handle.

[@ocuanadesigns]

Thanks for sharing!! Might have to give that a go. The more tools I buy the more files I need

[@bogdanshevchenko]

Wish we were neighbors man

[@ocuanadesigns]

Thanks..I think 😂😂😂

Corn cob makes a perfect file handle. The first time I used anything else was in high school shop class!

[@ocuanadesigns]

I'm genuinely curious. Like the corn you eat? The core of a cob of Maize?

[@JVlalice--]

I too must know of this☝️

[@shermanhofacker4428]

​sorryi didn't get back earlier, yes the core of dry maiz makes a good file handle. The pith is easily pierced by the tang and the outside is soft and gentle on the hands.

Very nice no turn vid. Glad I found it

[@ocuanadesigns]

Thanks for watching. I tend to do this for most of my files as its quicker than getting out the lathe sometimes

[@ibrhemahmed170]

Put wax on the handle over the oil. It keep them nice.

[@ocuanadesigns]

Thanks for the tip

[@6thmichcav262]

Another good ferrule is the brass from a used 20-gauge shotshell.

[@ocuanadesigns]

Thanks for that I must try it the next time I find one

[@tactiti0n]

Don't necessarily need a farrell / ferrel?
Could instead use plastic bottle cordage, and some heat to tighten it in place. Worse for in-hand feel, and heavy use, but can straight up replace the need for a new handle, if you've got a split handle and wanna keep it.

[@nathancamp6883]

"Ferrule," in case you're still interested. As opposed to Farrell, who's an actor, or feral, that's usually a cat.

[@Aethelvlad]

no lathe? you're speaking my language brother

[@kubehan]

Bench sander?

[@ocuanadesigns]

Works too.... Really well...in fact you can see one in the background if you look hard enough 😅😅

[@johnstarkie9948]

It’s a ‘chisel’.

[@ocuanadesigns]

Thanks. Never noticed the typo
