Using hand files - BEST METHODS VIDEO

[AirCap]

I'm an old school tool & die maker by training, and I just found the best video on the proper usage of hand files. This guy has monster skills, so watch, learn, and be amazed by his work. No CNC tools for this guy. If you think you are a good DIY guy, dig this cat. This video is GOLD!

That guy's got some serious time put into mastering the machinist's art.  Beautiful work.  Watching a professional plying his skills is so gratifying.

Nice video. I would like to have seen the device he was making those parts for completely built.

Kinda makes you want to carve a whole body out of ironwood with only a coping saw and a set of swiss files. Well, maybe not quite. :icon_biggrin:
