I'm getting close to committing big time to this project. Ive decided the tube diameter (45mm big and chunky) and found a supplier of CDS - though im still waiting for their quote. I know what welder im going to buy (yes im going to buy one! had an unexpected bonus recently and think i ought to spend it on some thing useful before the wife spends it on something utterly useless), and i know what pipe-bender i will get.
So all i need now is a couple of new hacksaw blades and a couple of decent hand files.... but WHAT files?
I know i could tell what files I want if i could hold them in my hand, but I dont know of any stores that stock a good range of files - even the draper store near me can only "get them in for you mate".
So I go to the online specialists and find that the choice is overwhelming and the im lost on all the technical specifications and terminology. Fortunately i know that the internet has the answer for me somewhere and of course Wiki deleivers the result.
If you are ever wondering what type of file to buy, read this first....

and then when you are ready to buy your files, Buck and Hickman appear to have an extensive range

And as i write this now a txt message pops up on my phone from TVOR reminding me not to forget to order good handles too!
