<div>Piano Forte Supply <a href="http://www.pianofortesupply.com">www.pianofortesupply.com</a> offers a sand paper file that they say you can tighten the paper on, it's plastic of some sort and flexible. I haven't used it but saw it in thei online catalog. It's a little pricey at $19.50 but if it's durable, it could be a bargain. </div> <div>I have always just used a small sandpaper file that I can change the paper on periodically, it's multilam(the shop teacher at one of the schools I tune for teaches his groups how to make compound bows, he gave me some scrap lamination from one.) about 1/4" thick, 1" wide and about 9' long. I cut the sandpaper 100 or 120 grit in strips to fit from one side up over the end down to the other, leaving the lower 1&1/2 inches of either side bare. I attach the paper with thumbtacks then over wrap with a half thickness of duct tape around the bottom of the sandpaper ends. I find this to be small enough to be easy to handle yet rigid enough to shape hammers. I wouldn't want a flexible file for individual shaping. I have made "gang shapers from masking tape and small sheets of sandpaper that are flexible. <br><br> </div> <div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/15/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Aras</b> <<a href="mailto:aras6310@yahoo.se">aras6310@yahoo.se</a>> wrote:</span> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">I found a very good file which is made of glass.
