I have all those metal files, plus 3 you dont have. I have a curved file and a curved concave file. Also a flat convex and a flat concave file. These were my fathers, so they date back to the 40s. You can sharpen them. My father was a pre bondo bodyman. These were used for lead as well as metal and bondo. They are good for metal finish bodywork.
Interesting Matt, I never knew how those tools worked. My Dad had some of those laying around his garage but I certainly did have a clue how to use them. One more thing this car is going to be Pebble beach material if you keep this up LOL ! Thanks for the lesson.
Yes they are one of those tools that a lot of the original car builders and body men used "back in the day" but most now don't understand what they're used for. I don't use mine super often, but they are really handy when you get into an area that was all damaged like this! Thanks for watching Gerry! -Matt/ITG
I have several of these files and am looking at designs of handles to make to go with them (probably use some oak).....That Meat Truck in the background is Cool.
Happy New Year , good video , I got the chance to talk to Gene Winfield in July of this year , and he said it's always a good day to learn something , and I would have to agree .
I have all of these and have tried to use them a few times now, I still need to get a full round though. Eastwood only sold the flat and half round when I got mine.
Matt thank you for the lesson on the tools!!!!!! Learn some thing today it's always a good day. Hey. Send you a Email on your gmail!!!!!!! about 35 Ford car front and rear.end's about brake up date's on that brake system Happy new year. JUNKMANDO

Not oak,maple or hickory.
Good stuff. I've never seen a slapping file before but I do have a use for one. Thanks for doing this. Awesome!
