I'm adding permanent handles to all my files and rasps and thought I would do them on the pole lathe.  This is a great way to use up some scrap and the positive registration of a fixe handle actually makes a rasp easier to use.  I used brass ferrules I bought at Lee Valley for a few pennies and a piece of Teak that was 1.5" round and 7" long.  If using a pole lathe the piece needs to be a bit longer so you have a place to run the drive cord. 

The music in todays episode is thanks to Underhill Rose and is called "Helpless Wanderer".  If you like it please go support these talented ladies in their new Kickstarter campaign for their new album.  It should be another hit.
