Great! I think you’ll like it a lot. Keep in mind the tips in the post following this one. You’ll get the feel of it quickly.
I’d be very interested to hear what you think of it.
Thanks,

Thanks,
Michael

I ordered a number 10. I will let you know as soon as I receive it. I’m in Canada, I do not know how long it will take to get here?

Pascal, it’s tough to fair a curve with short-sole tools. The spokeshave can work, yes, but it’s very easy to ride the bumps and troughs rather than even them out.

I think you’d like the rasp. I have #10 grain. For most woods, after fairing the curve with that, I can go to a scraper to smooth the surface. If you’re getting pretty close with the bandsaw, #11 may be a better choice, but not a big difference.

I’d be very interested to hear what you think of the rasp.

Thanks,
Rob

I was fairing a curve yesterday using a combination of spokeshave, scrapers and 80 grit sandpaper… I’m sure that rasp would have been a lot quicker to do the job. I will order one. Should I get #10 or 11? I was thinking of #10.

Congratulation on creating what looks like a must-have tool.
