Ever wonder how they make files? This is how one company in France does it, and I imagine it's the same way they've been doing it for a couple of hundred years. From a modern manufacturing standpoint, it's insane: all that hand labor. You can bet Nicolson doesn't do it this way. Of course, the prices reflect the amount of labor. Auriou files go for a hundred bucks. A Nicholson file will set you back 3, maybe 4 dollars.
Glenn sent me the link. He's got the furnace, now he needs a trip hammer, which is what you see in the first half of the video.
