    I keep my eyes open at yard sales, they tend to be found at the bottom of old tool boxes.

    Just for size, top one is a normal jewelers file from Glardon 6,5 inches.
    Below it is one of my small ones.

    I think Glardon, Grobet, Vallorbe are all the same company today, super tools!

    I have also heard of the acid method for file sharpening although I've never tried it.
    What can a bloke say?!...Having some members of my family just like that, perhaps a resounding 'Thank god!' is appropriate!

    It would be a one sided discussion, cause I don't know what a router bit is.

    Well! Guess it's time to learn then. You know those fancy edges to wooden cornices and those nice even grooves you see used for the bottom panel of a draw to sit in?! They're done by the use of a router.

    You seem like a good customer, may I interest you in a steel bridge?
