New File Block

  • I came up with this idea for a file block. I used a file and cut it in 2 pieces then added a comfortable handle.
    It works better than sandpaper and better than a regular file. Great for removing, sanding and shaping wood.

    I always enjoy the simple yet very practical workshop tools you make. Thanks for sharing with us.

    Great idea Jack.
    Something I learned, is to route the end grain first so when you route the long grain it takes care of the chip out.

    Nice idea. I managed to break a file and I still have the broken off piece. This is a great way to get more use out of it. Keep up the great work, Jack !

    It's been a long time since I've seen a new video of yours, but as with the rest, this one was well worth the wait! Keep it up Jack! You're my Small Workshop's HERO! I'm off to create File Blocks!

    Magnificent Jack, a great job and a new and good tool more.
    Thank you very much for your channel and your ideas.

    Perhaps some may want a slightly rounded end of the file to prevent some gouging sometimes.

      That is a good idea, easy enough to do on a belt sander.

    a very very very good idea that is exactly a tool what I for sure will build and use in my guitar shop flat like yours and also with 35° and 45° angle
    Thanks a lot for this great inspiration

    Sweet. I made something along the same lines for fret end filing on a guitar which incorporates a 90 and 33 degree bevel.

  • @hansdegroot8549
    @hansdegroot8549 5 лет назад

    That's a clever idea. Thanks for sharing. I should have somewhere a file without a handle. If I can find it I can make a pair of
    those file blocks.

    There might be a way to hold the file with strong magnets so you can use both sides.

    • @dimitar4y
      @dimitar4y 5 лет назад

      Damn I was just thinking of this. Recessed magnets so the file bites into the hardwood first so it doesn't wiggle about and erode the magnets.

      Those strong magnets out of hard drives could work.

    • @dimitar4y
      @dimitar4y 5 лет назад

      @@jan-reiniervoute6701 those magnets are just neodymium magnets. the reason they feel strong is due to large surface area and small N/S pole distance therefore tighter magnet field therefore more power. Any neodymium magnet would work.

    • @dimitar4y
      @dimitar4y 5 лет назад

      ​@@Jacka440 I'm pretty sure there's some cheap rasps, but now that I think back to it, they're expensive as hell and have painfully uncomfortable plastic handles; AND they're not hardened so they wear out too damn fast.
      I just think it's kinda a waste for the other side of the file that's glued to but I can't come up with a trivial way of attaching. Just complex ideas of drilling it, or magnets, or some metal jaws clamping onto the sides.

  • @bodgerdavesumner
