Does anybody use Riffler Files ? Do they work ? I see them advertized but have never heard anybody mention using them.. I have used files on metal but would think they would 'clog up' when used on wood. ???

Re: Riffler Files
I've used rifflers on almost all my carvings; mostly for clean-up work in tight spots. I have not tried the diamond rifflers yet, but plan to pick a set up the next time I'm in a carving store! Have heard they work better than the steel ones. The coarde ones, I have trouble working with as they are too small to hang onto when pushing those BIG teeth around. They are not a substitute for any knives or gouges, but an adjunct to the other tools. Try 'em you'll like 'em!
Also try checkering tools for background in relief, etc.

This a catalog that I used to get; I haven't received it for a while. It used to have anvils, swage-blocks, tongs, hammers and even tools for your hardy hole.

Re: Riffler Files
I also have a little sliver metal holder that holds carving burrs, one in each end. I keep it out all the time (away from the edges of my gouges) on my bench and use it when necessary to clean as I go. In one end, I have a round diamond burr. In the other, I have a tear drop shaped one (I use it the most.) They never clog.
I find this tool to be most useful.
