Really good example of all of the skills needed to make a tool from scratch (apart from it being a ready made file of course) but the cutting, grinding, shaping, the handle cavity, turning, the ferule; the whole process. Good job.
You are right Δημητρη…for hardening/annealing the file ,I am going to do the same since my file scraper is not all that good ( not holding edge not scraping properly ) Να εισαι καλα Γιαννης
ωραίο βγήκε ρε παλικάρι μπράβο σου ! έχεις φτιάξει ολόκληρο σετ ! ένας φίλος έφτιαξε bowl gouge από καραμπίνα ! έχε το νου σου μπας και βρεις τίποτα θα αξίζει Τον κόπο να το ανεβάσεις !
Καλόοο, τα κουρμπαριστά ακόμη τα δουλεύω στο μυαλό μου. Το bowl όμως είναι σημαντικό εργαλείο και ίσως πρέπει κανείς να επενδύσει σε ένα! Θέλω πολύ να φτιάξω ένα μεγάλο spindle ξεχονδριστήρι! Είδομεν!
Great build, I also make a lot of my tools from old files and tool steel. Only one question though and not a critical one, why did you decide to harden it since files and tool steel come hardened? Maybe you know something that I don't? Please reply.
i have also added you to my adblocks whitelist. I dont if that means anything these days , but i did it anyway cause the quality of your videos earned it.
When I use the angle grinder with the disc parallel to the surface the disc loses material from the flat side. It was not broken, the wire inside the disc just came out. At this point the disc might brake, that's why we need to use the guard. Anyway the wire mess inside the disc helps a lot in these situations!

Thank you
Nice job. I have a big old file that I need to make one of these with. Save $200 over a commercial one.
I have made many homegrown tools during my 20 + years turning. It is a good feeling to end up with a great tool and LOW cost too. Great job.
It is indeed, thanks
I was just thinking of doing the same thing -
And then happened here by chance!
Good job & nice timing!
Thank you
The cutter cuts well!
Yes it does!

Great use of old tools Dimitris, the scraper works beautifully as I can see :) Cheers 🍻

Perhaps this was not a necessary step. But the angle grinder kind of burns the steel. It seems to hold an edge fine this way!
Looks like it cuts great, I'll be adding this to my list of tools to build!
wow! You amaze me all the time :)
Thank you very much
nice work, best tools = self-made, you love epoxy 5 min, don't you?
Thanks. it's a really cool glue for glueing different materials
the epoxy resin is hard to get, the glue probably too? the epoxy resin is only available online, there is no such thing in local stores :(
The resin is more difficult to find. But at least in Greece you can find epoxy glue almost everywhere!
Strange thing, why the polyester resin is almost everywhere but epoxy nowhere locally, only at the Internet.
you Diresta the shit out of that file.... Excellent.
lol, thanks! Jimmy Diresta is my favorite maker, that's for sure!
i have also added you to my adblocks whitelist. I dont if that means anything these days , but i did it anyway cause the quality of your videos earned it.
Could you make an instrument called kantele.
It's the national instrument of Finland so i would really appreciate it!
I will do my research on it, thanks for the suggestion
Muito bom
Ever same music ?
I do like it
but you don't have to heat treat the file
just do the annealing process 😃
Ι guess you are right about the heat treating. It doesn't hurt anyway!
ΤΕ-ΛΕΙ-Ο
Σε ευχαριστώ
στειλε μου ενα πλιιιιζ 😥😥😥
What happened to the cut off wheel on the grinder?! It looked like it the edge had broken apart
When I use the angle grinder with the disc parallel to the surface the disc loses material from the flat side. It was not broken, the wire inside the disc just came out. At this point the disc might brake, that's why we need to use the guard. Anyway the wire mess inside the disc helps a lot in these situations!
Dude, this man made an awesome video of making a scraper out of a file. And all you got out of it, did that thingy break? You dumb ass
