Making and Using Small Workshop Tools

While pride of place usually goes to a lathe or milling machine, any workshop worthy of the name will have a host of hand tools and accessories to tackle a vast range of other tasks.

Yet these are often supplied without detailed instructions, or even any guidance at all.

Who has ever seen an instruction manual for a file? However, with the right advice, you can get better results, make your tools last much longer and work faster with less effort.
