Skillbuilder: 5 Tips for Using Files 

Ba dum tisssssh

You're definitely a dad, lol XD

@@masonmeeks8122 ayyyyy I was gonna say that hahahah

Do you know the actual name?

We were all scared. It’s off the Beacons album.

He has a RU-vid... Search him up you fucking owe me

+Rc Awesome not all of his videos go on his channel. Some of them are on this channel exclusively.

Rc Awesome I know that, ofcourse, but, some of his videos you only can watch on this channel and some only on core77inc channel...

I have exam for filing we have to make this object off a sketch , rly freaking worried because I don’t understand how to get faster at filing

+Sgtblack He has appeared in many of their videos. I dont know a lot about him but maybe hes a maker?

+Sgtblack what is the name of this particular song?

+n1gdawg "Explore, Be Curious"

+n1gdawg "We were all scared" from the album Beacons.

Because you are responsible guy who really wants the work to be well done.

3pm 2hrs b4 work

Too slow so maybe use a hacksaw or a chisel and later use a file or diamond file for accurate works use a measuring tool like caliper or micrometer

To be fair, most hand saws in the Western world are also designed to cut only with forward motion.

First thing I thought of when tip about filing flat came up

Veri matsh

+littlestworkshop Thanks for the info. I really like things like this. It's an old booklet but very good.

Why stiff nylon instead of a wire brush?

@@lew708 nylon will not damage the sharpness of the teeth

I read in an article where machonist was taught to use push stoke for general work and preserving the file the back and forth motion is where you use it when getting close to dimension to make sure you dont lose the level and the feel for the file

Do you know the song name?

+Tom Palmer Yea don't throw them all in a box together like Adam Savage.

+icepick method It made me cringe but will it really make such a big difference for his use? Not so sure. Personally mine are in draws with the plastic DVD storage panels IKEA used to sell as dividers, it makes me happy :)

+littlestworkshop I have a couple dozen files and I literally never find a use for them. There is nothing I can think of that a file does better than any other tool in my shop. I'm pretty much always going to reach for a dremel, die grinder, angle grinder, belt sander or mill. It makes me wonder why files are still in use at all.

+Geahk Burchill I have all those tools and still use files.

***** Maybe it's just the way my shop is set up but my air tools are always within arms reach and my files are in a drawer in my tool chest. I've never had the urge to go to my tool wall for the files when I have an air tool right at hand. There are plenty of other hand tool where this is not the case. A block plane does something only a block plane can do. A chisel does what only a chisel can do. There are hundreds of hand-tools in my shop that don't feel obsolete. So, out of curiosity and totally with respect, what the heck do you use your files for?

Nothing wrong with draw filing. Only use a singe cut file for draw filing. And remember to only pull when you have the handle in your left hand, and only push when you hold it in your right hand.

What is fucking?

+Kiff's improved channel to furnicate under the command of the king :P

when mommy and daddy really love each other...

+Karan Trivedi oh! Thank you! I fuck their! On my birthday I say them "I fuck you!

+Kiff's improved channel A fucking shake is one more than a single shake. So almost like a double shake. It's more an amplitude measure. So if it were shaking a little, we'd just say it was shaking. If it were shaking a lot, we'd say it's FUCKING SHAKING!

Do we, news to me a bastards a bastard whichever way you look at it.

+Mr Mürk I learned how to do that when I was 4 years old... and I was a fast learner. I doubt a 4 year old could do a maker project for arduino or for custom cases, or custom chamfered coffee tables with tiled inlay, and do this without some direction with a good set of workshop or parent/grandparent files. Also not everyone has a really good set of files, they are on a downtrend with less folks using basic fab tech, we just spool up a 3-d printer and let the computer do the work.

And that is what's wrong with the Maker culture nowadays in a nutshell, its all just "Buy an arduino, then these 3 kits, download this code, follow this wiring picture(noone can even read schematics these days) and bam! call it DIY"

+Mr Mürk I agree, This video DID remind me to buy a good set of files though, so there is that! I used to do a fair bit of machining, I don't have a 3-d printer (yet) or even a dremmel set. This video is actually promoting the old school ways!

+Bart Jennings Horrendous? Honestly it is like people are in the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Files or something. The file is much harder than the card, the card is applied far less frequently than the workpiece (which may well be steel) the force that can be applied is limited. It would be interesting to see just how long it takes to blunten a file through proper use of a file card or brush, my guess is far longer than most people will ever use the file full stop.

+littlestworkshop Some people just need some silly reason to either A) justify why they are so bad at making stuff; B) feel better than the 'common people'; C) have something else to focus on instead of actually using the damn tool. You see the same with cameras, were most internet cirkle-jerkers are only ever talking about gear acquisition and maintenance, but never actually go out to make photos. And with grammar nazis there is a similar problem: people who actually suck at language (i.e. bad writers with contorted sentences and mediocre understanding of the nuances of language) constantly bitch about some stupid grammatical rule or some silly error someone else made. All to create a false sense of superiority without having to be talented or doing the hard work of producing awesome products (be that DIY, photos or literature).

+Lukas don you have explained youtube :)

+Bart Jennings they're called file cards for a reason...and have been the official tool for this job forever, literally

+Lukas don that is one of the truest things I have ever read. +1 like

I am first

I just am isnt it obvious`?

Because it's just more PC to say "bastard" now than a word that conveys a useful, accurate meaning?
