Fascinating. A valuable historical resource. So many details in the process one would never think of.

7:05 so the chisel is just positioned by eye and moved along a tiny amount before each strike!

[@UPTHETOWN]

Still use files every day in my trade

[@shannonlandre4442]

Do you have a cabinet for them?

[@robbrobb2161]

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
