Thanks Dave; you’ve obviously got an amazing talent for woodworking AND tuition. I’ll definitely be having a go at this soon.

I’d read about chainsaw files before, but never seen one, now I know what I’m looking for.

Thanks for the video. You are very talented.

Thanks

very nice video… where did you get your files from. they seem to just fly through the metal. sorry if you mentioned that in the video. my speakers have been broken for about a week.

TWW, that was the same question I had. Those files are amazing at removing the material. Any links to manufacturers would be appreciated. In the video it just says they’re chainsaw files – but are they any specific kind? I’m not familiar with chainsaw files at all.

Great video. I see the potential. What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?

Dave, this is a pretty informative tutorial. It certainly takes the mystery out of using scratch stock to make custom molding.

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. The chainsaw files are from McMaster-Carr. http://www.mcmaster.com/#chain-saw-files/=6ksiss They are cheap so I recommend buying every available size at once since the cost of shipping will probably equal that of the files. Otherwise, pretty standard but obviously sharp. Keep them clean and don’t allow them to bang into each other every time you open your tool box and you’re good. I love tools. Ciao.

Awesome, I was looking at McMaster-Carr’s website last night for bearings… Those things are surprisingly cheap for how well they cut.

Edit: Just ordered one of each :)

very nice vid. i just have one question though, what kind of wood was used for the pic. frame? It came out very crisp the miters and the profile.

is the largest one they have 3/8”. the larger one you had looked like it was much bigger than 3/8”... also how thick is the metal that you used. it looked like it was about a strong 1/16” but i’m just curious

Clear, concise and very informative. A very professional video on an underused tool and technique. Well done, Dave. I look forward to seeing more from you.
