I was taught in High School shop class not to rub a file back and forth like an abrasive. It only cuts in one direction and we should only press down on the cutting stroke. Pressure on the back stroke just dulls the teeth. That's been my observation for the last 40 years or so. My $.02 worth.

And I was always taught to drag a file in only one direction on the metal. If you drag it backwards then chips get stuck in it's grooves. I find this method faster and the surface is also more flat.

I found your channel last week or so and i honestly feel like I've already learned more from you than my tech teachers in school. I love the tear downs, the commentary, and the knowledge. Thanks so much for the honesty too in every 'vijayo'. ..just occurred to me that i've got no idea what anything other than your hands look like; and i'd trust you more than some of the folks i see everyday.

I want to cry every time I hear those poor files being back dragged. I mean that litteraly. When dudes drag my poor files backward and round the cutting teeth over rendering them geldings. (Useless for removing metal with any efficiency). Anyway then I have to clean them thoroughly and bathe them in a solution of sulfuric acid and water. It sharpens them up. Thank you Ave I love your stuff.

+AvE I deliberately avoid grinders when doing my metal work; mostly because one slip and you can ruin the entire project. A file can be a far better option because slips can still happen but the degree of control is far greater. Its very nice to see someone else who appreciates a file. You'll find that if you actually lighten up with the pressure on the backstroke it can help the life of the file since most files sold these days are made of crappy mexican or chinese steel. Also moving in a gentle full body rocking motion almost on the balls of your feet using your weight to help with the down pressure and the cut, you can file for hours without getting tired. After many cramps my master finally took pity on me and told me the secret haha

In the historical transition from all wood to metal and wood, millwrights formed up the sole plates for machinery in this fashion. I knew of this but I'm old. Truthfully, I'll use any easy, rapid technique to achieve the results I want including this one if necessary. Thanks for posting this.

In Afghanistan, the villagers make copies of Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifles using - 1. Files 2. Chisels and hammer. 3. A hand cranked drill. 4. A foot peddled grind stone. Some blow up firing the first round, but mostly they work, apparently.

Great video! Thanks for sharing a forgotten art! As an apprentice I was made to file, chisel and scrape flat surfaces for 6 months in my first year. Glad I learnt those skills as it helped me a lot with carrying out repairs in the field. Like you said...metalwork IS fun! Thanks again. Great job!

I remember seeing a German steam locomotive in a museum in Munich that was cut in half in half by railway workers on their lunch hour with hammers and chisels. Chisel on!

I was looking up chisels for woodworking and came across your video. I haven't gotten into machining yet but this makes me excited to learn it! Thanks for posting.

"drill it by hand" goddamn your hands move fast!

Takes me back to my high school metal shop days. We didn't have much. Workbenches, vice, lump hammer, hardened chisel, file

When you said you were going to drill it by hand I thought you were going to get out a brace. That would be a lot of work.

A recollection from my days as an apprentice - use new, really sharp files for brass/bronze. When they start to just skid, they are too blunt to cut that material cleanly, but they are just about perfect for steel. Oh, and beware the steel bristled file card for cleaning! Instead, use a left-over of brazing rod or similar along the grooves to remove any clogs. It won't take the edge off the file teeth. I hope this tip will extend the useful life of your files. ;-)

The famous "arm pit angle". Every body learns that at art academy.

Why are there so many comments about his filing method? If your file is being "ruined" by dragging it backwards on a peice of pretty soft brass/bronze, chances are your file isn't properly hardened, and thats what you get for buying dime store harbor freight files. Dragging the file backwards is a perfectly acceptable technique, and often recommended to maintain an even surface, so long as you arent putting significant pressure on the backstroke, and it doesn't seem like he is. I would love to see some evidence to prove that hes ruining his file, else it seems like a lot of people are spreading wives tales.

Most of my dream projects I would do if only I had a welder. I'm probably gonna have to make one with a couple of microwave transformers (poor man's stick welder). Thanks for the video.

I've often wondered how metal parts were made before the common use of the milling machine or lathe. Thanks for this example. I would be very interested in seeing more hand machining techniques. I don't think a Bridgeport or South Bend is in my immediate future.

Been watching you for years now, but these old vidjeos are some true gems!

dude thank you. this was very informative for someone like me who wants to get into metal working on a limited budget. Loving ALL your vids!

You had me laughing--"when you're absolutely certain its mixed, mix it a little more!" That's exactly what I always do.

When I saw you cutting the sheet metal with a cold chisel I couldn't help getting misty eyed. My first car was a £30 banger (Around 50 Canadian beer tokens), It had reasonably good bodywork, But mechanically it was totally FUBAR. So, I did what any red blooded man would do........ I bought another one that was mechanically sound but rotted out. After swapping all the decent running gear into the good shell I was left with the rusty one to get rid of. At that time scrap steel was worth less than dog sh!t, And everyone I called wanted me to give them my actual cash money to cart it away !?!?! So, To get rid of it I decided to cut it up into small enough chunks to take to the dump. I started with an angle grinder, But it soon dawned on me that it would cost me a fortune in discs. So then I started with the cold chisel. I made some reasonable progress with that, But it was back breaking work. It was at that point I thought up a MUCH quicker way....... A 6lb axe sharpened to a razor edge!!!!! Jesus !!!! That thing would zip through 12" of body panel on a single swing ! After about 3 evenings of slog with the cold chisel I'd stripped down the whole front end, But only 5 hours with the axe had the rest chopped into bits small enough to fit in the back of my rebuilt car. If I'd had the money for discs I wouldn't have looked beyond the angle grinder. If I'd been really flush with folding money I'd have probabbly gone out and bought an air chisel or reciprocating saw, But I wasn't and I didn't, So I improvised a cheaper way to get the job done. That was just one of many lessons that being broke taught me back in the day, And I feel that I'm a better person for learning them.

Nice milling machine. I've been discovering the joy and utility of the cold chisel... and how so many tools are derived from it. Bolt cutters and wire cutters - two cold chisels in opposition with leverage Drill bits - dual rotary cold chisels Hack saws and files - lots of tiny cold chisels all in a row I just picked up a few more. One for the work tool bag, one for the truck tool bag, one for the car tool bag. For $1 each at an estate sale, no reason to go without...

I've got few power tools for metal. I use all the hand techniques you demonstrated. It may be slow, but it's effective. Filing, chiseling, hammering, bending... I don't have a forge, but much metal working is done cold, and the results can be very satisfying. Thanks for the vid!

Ah the good old days, when AvE was innocent and young sounding.

Thank you for the motivation. I'd be glad if you post more about why you won't need a milling machine.

I had to do something similar. I simply used a circular saw and slowly 'cut away' at the softer metal, bit by bit. Worked for me.

Love the technique appreciating modern machinery more when i see olden days techniques

That's not bronze, it's brass. There's a difference. EDIT: Just to clear things up, it could be brass or bronze. I thought that it was brass because of the color. Brass has zinc as its main alloying ingredient because zinc is cheap. Bronze usually has a much lower or zero zinc content because there are better ways to improve the properties than zinc. Bronze is usually redder than brass because it has a higher copper content (lower alloy content, usually ~10% tin and other elements, vs brass' ~40% zinc content, although there is no technical standard), but it could have any alloy content. This was most likely phosphor bronze, because he has used that in other videos, but has never used brass. This was the first AvE video I'd ever watched. Sorry about this comment.

Old school technique, and it works!.... I have, in the past, cut front sight grooves in pistol barrels with a 'graver' which is a narrow cold chisel (like a woodworking mortice chisel).... Piece of cake... took me less than ten minutes to do the job. It would have taken at least that long to set it up in the mill and mill it out. So cutting steel is also possible (and not too difficult) with a chisel....

Thank you, really interesting and something that shows a little thought will always get the job done if one is prepared to think, … a little sideways thinking. My type of thinking does not always give a useful result, as I would and have never thought of using a harder metal to cut a softer one! Obviously my brain was not in gear.Thank you for the upload.

Great video! My only power tools are a drill and an angle grinder, so I do use files and chisels on occasion, and they work!

Classical music, the almost exstinct metal workings, music to my ears... my hands dont agree after a long night of machining and drinking

This feels "Bob Ross" / "This Old House" old-timey tool working. I'll take the modern crotchety surely AvE thank you very much!

I learned that pulling back any file doesn't cut anything, but rolls the edge so it becomes duller quicker. Pushing the file forward then lifting the file off the work piece and returning to the beginning edge will actually get the job done faster, as it won't be getting rolled over and traping the wee shards of metal between the folds. AYEEEEEEEEE!

I used to use a timber chisel when installing locks etc into aluminium doors, worked a treat!

Cloth or premium sandpaper wrapped around file or something flat can help level quick too with a smooth finish depending on your grit. If you don't have many files, it's an easy and fairly cheap way to get around some issues. With soft metals, get an abrasive restorer block which is like a mega pencil eraser and will clean the grit up and extend the life of the sand/emery paper.

spent 12 hours watching your videos. 12 hours well spent

Not just any file mind you, but a real bastard!

thanks for the educational video!

AvE's voice when he was 10 years old!!!

Watching this in 2020 and I knowing what I know now. This right here is an extremely restrained AVE

AvE, I really appreciate you.

Hacksaw is not a very old invention. In the 1880s they became generally popular, but it was in the 1980s that bi-metal blades came on the market. Before that they tended to break a lot. Before hacksaws people would use a V-shaped cold chisel for the grooving, and then follow up with a flat one, like you have in this video. Die makes still used chisels until CNC took over.

So interesting going back and hearing AvE talk without all the charismatic camera confidence.

After watching a few of this guys video's, when he said "there's a few ways to skin a cat" I kinda thought...
