I have a friend who hand cuts files (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XBmJrhoK1g) I could probably get some detailed photos of his tools if anyone is interested.

that is just slick as a gut! that is one tough chisel!

I would be very interested in seeing the closeup pics especially of the cutting edges if he is willing to share. I don't want to get into it but woul dlike to make one for myself to say I have.

Thats great, thanks
