I seem to remember thinking they were too brittle but you said they weren't.
Was it you who said something about heating them up to remove the tempering?:?
I've got some files left over from the sale and thought I'd try making some tools from them. I'm only using a mid size lathe, mainly to make wheels but a couple of large tools to get from square/octagonal to round would save wear and tear on my good little chisels.:2tsup:
