AL, I was never much good with a chisel, never mind accuracy! Neither did
I ever master the great art of scraping.
I have not bought a file for ages, as I had quite a selection of my own,
augmented by those inherited from my late brother.
I seem to remember the file-making machinery of the last great British file
manufacturer being sold as a job lot to India - many years before India
became a main supplier of tools.
Ah well, so the world changeth!
Do the great firm of Nicholson still make files in the States?
Cheers! Hubert
