If you don’t wish to purchase the kit (65.00) listed on the description page, the items listed below are the items you will need to bring for the workshop.
- Metal- $12 (you have to use the instructor’s steel so heat treat may be a problem.)
- A 10-12” double cut bastard file for roughing (often has a half round side).
- A 10-12” single cut mill or finish file.
- A 10-12’ half round bastard or double cut if your bastard doesn’t have it.
- A rat-tail or chainsaw file might be useful too.
- All files need handles.
- Sandpaper- you will need good quality wet or dry covering the range from 180 grit thru 400 grit; probably about 2 sheets of each grit. (I recommend Norton for price/quality/availability) I’ll have sandpaper for sale if you don’t want to bring you own.
*You must provide your own proper eye protection.
If you use the instructors files, they are used by students and if (when) misused will not be sharp as new. They will work but sharp files save on time & sweat.
