druxey Posted December 7, 2019 Share #3 Posted December 7, 2019 And they are actually miniature Swiss files (about 4 ½" long instead of 6"). mtaylor 1 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPDDET Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted December 7, 2019 I now have sets of both Swiss files and Escapement files. While still new to this hobby, I'm finding that, in many instances, files are more appropriate to use than sandpaper. It seems having the correct tools, knowing how and when to use them is key to producing a good result.

wefalck Posted December 7, 2019 Share #6 Posted December 7, 2019 "It seems having the correct tools, knowing how and when to use them is key to producing a good result." - Indeed Actually 155USD for a set of a dozen Vallorbe-files is a good price !
