Hang On To Your History
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008
The Auriou company in France appears to have closed. My French is abysmal, so calling to investigate will do me no good, but this looks like an example of tool history slowly moving on. Auriou has been making rasps and rifflers by hand since the mid-nineteenth century — these tools, like so many before them, have now become irreplaceable.
If you own some of these quality woodworking tools, make sure to hang on to your piece of history and take good care of them.
