Years ago, decades ago, in the 60's I was thinking about my future and I checked out a book about either blacksmithing or gunsmithing. The author had a short section on making files. He kind of said, no one else would teach this but I think it is important. Well, I didn't go into gunsmithing or blacksmithing but the idea of making files appeals to me. I have downloaded a book on Nicholson files that discusses how they are/were made and I found a video on the net of one being cut. I'd like to find out the title of the book I read years ago. If anyone knows of whence I speak please let me know. If there are other references on cutting files by hand and tempering them I'd be interested in that also.
thanks in advance,
Bo T
