Are there any more reasonably priced alternatives to Auriou for hand-
cut rasps?

Popular Woodworking magazine has a tool review of some other hand cut
rasps they compared to the Auriou and said they were just as good.
Mentioned the prices were lower. Not sure if significantly lower or
not. Current issue I saw on the stand last weekend. Forget the brand
since I have the Nicholson 49 and 50.

Thanks - I'll check it out.

How do the microplanes compare to the 49 and 50?

I attended a seminar given by Marc Adams and he used the Shinto rasps
sold by Japan Woodworking, and others, for shaping something. Said
the regular model was much better than the one with the extra handle
on it. He spoke highly of them. And if you've seen marc Adams' slide
show of the furniture he has created, you would know he has some skill
in woodworking.
