I've seen many videos on Files, but this one by far the best! Great work!
Great video! Thank you so much!👍🏻👍🏻
Very clear explanation. Many thanks for making this video.
Nicely presented. I like filing a lot. It is a meditation. I enjoyed your pun also. All the best, Pete
Good info! Loved the guest appearances!
Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks never knew 2 different kinds
Gonna make this short and sweet.
Thank You!
Thanks for the video!
Great info, I feel better equipped to purchase a file set that will suit my needs. Keep the video coming
We're glad this was helpful! Thanks for supporting our proudly Canadian channel.
Great lesson video, with organization. I appreciated it. Very helpful. Nonetheless, I was still left with my question not answered. I need to sharpen things like an axe (or lawn mower blade). I heard to use a mill bastard file. This video mentions 'bastard' file, as an American cut, that is the roughest. If you had given even a couple more sentences to explain this in greater depth, & images to show what you mean, it would have answered all my questions. I feel I have slightly more knowledge to answer my Q after this video, but still do not really know what is a 'bastard mill' file & still need to move to other sources to get an answer which I am finding surprisingly difficult to get a simple answer to. So close, & yet so far. Thanks.
Just watched a video on back dragging. Contrary to what we have always believed it appeared to have the the same wear as lift technique after 2500 passes on a drag machine. I lift by habit but still interesting. The back drag was done with equal pressure as the push as well which most individual I've seen who back drag do so with a lighter stroke. Results were shown under magnificent. Results also confirmed that back dragging did not shed pinnings as some belive who use that technique.
Sorry can't use Altair anymore 🧔😭
However, stroke and lift is easier for many folk to keep the file face flat to the workpiece.
I'm ony 59 so I'll pass it on to the guys at work
What puzzles me is why there are no files with teeth that cut on the pull stroke. There are many situations where it gives better control. You can always hold the file by the tip, but the handle/tang gets in the way and throws off the balance. I could understand if they were merely less common, but I've never found any trace of them existing at all.
Thanks for a great video explanation on files. You mention that a dpublecut pattern has 2 sets of teeth positioned at opposite angles to each other. That sounds like 180° difference,.but the actual tooth angle looks more like about 60° apart from each other. Recently, I heard on a jewelers video that double cut files cut in "both directions" meaning pushing and pulling. There is the angle of the cut (the way the top edge of each wedge (tooth) is leaning to cut), and the angle of the two individual row directions of the group of wedges (teeth). Can you help clarify? Does a double cut file cut pushing and pulling or does a double cut file have two slightly separated (@ 60°) directions forward? I am a jeweler and have always been taught (and teach) pushing (not pulling) when filing, and most jewelers hand files are "double cut" 😅 Thank you.
Thanks, no one else shows to use these file tools, (Pittsburgh 5 pc file set),
That loaded with detail. The video would be even better if the presenter was engaging. Very educational.
This was in Kona , Hawaii
Do you have needle files for filling stainless steel ?I want these for jewlery making.
Hello Melany, This set here should be able to help you with your needs. greggdistributors.ca/Tools-Shop-Equipment-and-Storage/Hand-Tools/Files/File-Sets/ccc6phfs
Great video. Thank you so much for a very informative and clear explanation. Have to say thou, that constantly repeating annoying music behind your very pleasant voice almost made me cut out of the video before the end. If I wanted music I would rather play my own. No way to change yours. Why do people add it?
I use often use files for shaping g-10. What files would you suggest for that material?
Which are the reputed file brands
One of the most reputable brands we carry is Nicholson Files. You can check them out here:

There are many instruction videos where people dont wear masks. But if I am filing the tip of a nail, do I need a mask??
You don't need a mask for hand filing. You're not getting particles in the air or anything. You don't really need any protective gear at all to file
It depends on if your vaccinated
