Auriou rasps

[Michael Hammers]

I was curious if anyone has heard if Auriou rasps are again available here in the US? I read that September was the projected date but cannot find much else.

This is the new company's website: http://forge-de-saint-juery.com/. There's no real information about availability, though Chris Schwarz's blog entry about the restart stated that about 200 rasps had been made as of about a month ago:

Thank you for that link Dave!

Hi Michael,

Keep an eye on Toolsforworkingwood and thebestthings. I'd bet that when they become available here it'll be at one of these places first.

I spoke to Mike Hancock recently and currently production is so small they cannot support a wholesale operation. This of course will hopefully change and with luck something will happen next year. Until then Michel Auriou will be at the Pop Wood Conference and hopefully have something to sell.

Thanks for the update Joel.
