Common Metal Shop Tools: Filing

[@BH.22.]

Nice quick overview. One tip I wanted to add: To file a more accurate radius on an edge there is a different much better technique: You start with the tip of your file on the flat that is facing away from you. Then you roll the file towards you (or the flat that's facing you) while you push. Feels a bit odd and unintuitive the first time but works fine and makes repeatably the same radius everytime.

Thanks this is remarkably useful!

Good basic overview but I am curious why you didn't cover draw filing?

Putting files in a drawer has been made redundant since the invention of the computer,

Handy file's handle isn't that useful to user's hand. Don't use handful of them at a time.
