Chain file handles

[qbilder]

Finally found a way to use the short scraps left over from my cues. Dunno why I never thought of it before. Got the wood. Got the machinery & tooling. Just now got the idea :msp_blink: Seriously took like 5 minutes from square chunk of wood to pressing the file in. I made two, one for my 7/32 & one for my 5/32 files. A little wipe of danish oil & done. Left enough up front to protect the tip of my thumb, always seem to be jamming it into the rakers.

Nice. I see eBay sales on the horizon for you. Make a collar out of polished copper tubing for the business end. :msp_smile:

Good idea! The copper sleeve, not ebay :msp_tongue: These are so simple & quick to make, and from scraps, I couldn't think of selling them. Might make up a few to give away, though. Perfect gift for saw nuts. For the idea, i'll make one for you

No charge for the hint. The collar adds some strength to the end to help keep the wood from splitting. I made a few of those many years ago. Like tools, they grew feet and walked away. :msp_mad:
