Nothing cuts better than this.

In this video I decided to make a sign for my workshop from an antique logging saw that I picked up at auction.
The letters had to be cut from a single Maple board and shaped. So I decided to get a Shinto Rasp to speed up the process. I was blown away.

Just a quick one this week. I hope you enjoy it. Do you have a workshop sign? I'd love to see them.

One of the best, most effective tools I have ever used! I will never give mine up!

I’ve used my Shinto on many projects. This tool is so underrated and unknown amongst woodworkers. Very satisfying to work with aswell. Thanks for the video 👍

Shinto is a really useful tool. I’ve had mine for a while now and I find all sorts of uses for it. I highly recommend it.

I could not agree more about the Shinto. I made 3 reindeer, as a Christmas gift, out of fallen hurricane tree logs and branches. I ground the chamfers for the legs and necks, as well as rounding off the bark on the bodies and heads, in no time at all. I can't imagine any other tool, removing so much material with that much speed, accuracy, and safety. P.S. Love your new sign!

Thank you for this. It just shows that, after more than 45 years of woodworking, you can still learn. I’m not a great user of rasps - I have several but I rarely find the need to use them - no doubt, if I did more exterior and/or large work, then they would be used more. I make mostly interior pieces and rasps are generally not needed.

Bit, if I need to get another or replacement rasp, I will certainly try out a Shinto rasp.

5:04 Thank you for the demonstration man, i'm Definitely gettin one o' these things 🤩🤩🤩

I use one of these and keep a load of the micro shavings that it produces for the old wood glue and sawdust filler trick to cover any mistakes or blemishes. The crucial part is that they are tiny shavings, not dust, so are great for this purpose.

I admire your patience in making all those letters by hand well done!

My brother gave me one for my birthday and I absolutely love it.

I picked up a saw rasp (same brand) about a year ago. It does everything I need for convex curves, waste removal, and fine tuning. It hasn't noticeably dulled at all yet. Yep ... bloody brilliant replacement for flat rasps and files. $0.02

I've had one for years, the Shinto is awesome!

@Genezilla 3 years ago

Never even knew these existed! Just came across your channel and the content you've been putting on is terrific. Really enjoy how you explain and demo the tools you're using. Great stuff!

Have to say I LOVE shintos. They cut through so quickly but with care and focus on grain direction the fine side can leave a finish equivalent to 100 grit. Another cool feature is that the edges have teeth as well so it is possible to cut straight down if there is enough space for the width of the rasp.
