This sort of thing along with @DaveKnowlesFilmmaker and his Jack Hargreaves films ("Old Country") are such a treasure to see in detail. thank you for giving us the extended version!
Very good point for my file collection. Mostly inherited from my father who was a master gunsmith. I don't know that he made his files but he did make his own chisels. He died awhile back. I served an apprenticeship with him when I was a boy. Had to learn how to use files to make precision projects. Still have a 1.0000 inch square and a 1.5000 square with a 1.0000 square hole in the middle. First 1.0000 had to fit into the 1.0000 hole, no sunlight allowed when observed from any angle. Thanks for a wonderful video. I'm 72 now. God bless you all
fascinating - thank you!
Amazing material right here.
Amazing and I never knew making a file could be so interesting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Extended versions of any of these videos are treasured. I could listen to Ken talk forever i reckon. Thank you very much

7:05 so the chisel is just positioned by eye and moved along a tiny amount before each strike!
Thank you for sharing!
Excellent, thank you.
Now I know how to make hand files.
Still use files every day in my trade
Do you have a cabinet for them?
