 AURIOU TOOLWORKS at FORGE de SAINT JUERY Toolworks has been making tools for artists since 1858.
We are famous for making hand tools for the precison shaping of wood, stone & plaster.
We believe we are the only French maker of hand made rasps and rifflers who do all the traditional processes "in house" at our forge.
We do not sub-contact any part of the rasp and riffler making process. We forge our own blanks and keep a very close eye on quality control.
We are recognised for making the finest hand stitched rasps and rifflers in the world and we are very proud of this.
Some of our production methods and our numbering system for making rasps & rifflers have been copied (it's the highest form of flattery!) but rest assured, Auriou tools are genuine 100% made in France by our own blacksmiths and stitchers.
We are also very pleased to be working with master carver Chris Pye to produce his woodcarving tool sets.
We are now making drawknives and holdfasts as well as stone, plaster and gilding tools.
Our products are sold by wonderful retailers worldwide or are avaiable direct from the factory.
Don't forget to look at our videos.
Thank you for your support and please come and visit us.
