A clear sign of just how sharp these tools are!Flex Cut even comes with some band aid's in the box with their carving tools.

We have talked about chisels and we talked about files. No one has mentioned cabinet scrapers! Being a woodworker I find that they are a "must have"! They are reasonably priced and easily sharpened. A wonderful aide in shaping a stock!

Good evening
I have a beat up old smoke pole
Using it to practice and improve my skills
I'm going to do some work to the stock
And want to get the pfeil 6 piece palm set
Also, I am draw filing the barrel
Is there a better file to use
Thank you
Jim in La Luz
One of the best friends you can have for barrel flat draw filing is a barrel spinner with a square sided beam between the centers. It allows full length strokes and keeps the file flat to the surface. They are also really great for their intended purpose of spinning a round barrel against a belt sander to remove lathe and file marks.

Scrapers work well for shaping brass castings. The only tool for producing concavity on inside of trigger guard.
brainers. Have FlexCut palm grip and
I have FlexCut palm chisels and Mikisyo chisels and like them a lot. Am going to order a Solingen 6mm and 12mm full sized straight chisel. Like any quality tool, they are expensive. So . . . I'm just buying one or two at a time.
Single cut or double cut files? Or both?
I've been a fan of Flex-Cut chisels for some time. I recently purchased four piece sets of their micro chisels in both straight & skew configurations. Both sets in 1/16", 1/8", 3/16" and 1/4". What a wonderful addition to the bench!
