[modeleng] Re: Favorite tools

Right on!  My "favorite file" is a triangle file I
bought back in around 1961.  It has been modified by
grinding the teeth off one side.  I use it for cutting
dovetail slots.  It is always hung up on its nail and
has NEVER known the touch of Cast Iron!  My most used
file is a 12" Bastard cut that I bought a couple of
years ago.  It was made in India and is the
"cutting-est" file I have ever had.
