I just got back from the steam engine show over at Boonville, MO

may go back tomorrow because I spent all the $$ I had on tools. I came home with two tinners hammers, a pair of sheet metal cutters and a handful of those small metal rules(Starrett and General). Also, I found some cabinet makers rasps....that's when I almost had an 'accident'. I bought the three cabinet makers rasps which were all he had. He had hundreds of other Nickelson metal cutting files Pix about 60kb (rasp on right is one I had from Woodcraft...guess how much I paid for that one?)

asked the guy, who was there with his wife(who, BTW, gave me a bag to hold another vendor's stuff) "How can you sell Nickelson files so cheap." His reply," because I can buy them so cheap. I don't have much profit margin."Now, why does one need 4 identical wood rasps? Larry
