I did some file work on the spine too

Very Nice Bub!
Tracker0721:
That spine work looks pretty good! I forged a few blades from files before, I could never get a hole drilled through though! Fire crew had a bucket full of worn out files and most were Nicholson’s.

Did you anneal them first? I build a good sized fire and toss some files in the bed of coals. The next day they are soft enough to bend by hand. They will drill easily then.
