I'm so glad your videos have improved over the years. It was hard to hear you talk as you hammered the taper. These arent herbs they're weeds from the backyard. Proceeds to chop wild onions lol. Those are herbs John. P.S. I started watching Forged in Fire on Netflix and when you came in I got excited and was all hey that's John from Old Hickory Forge.
You need a wooden mallet or a leatherhide mallet so you don't damage your scrolls! I'm not expert by any means! Just what I have seen in other videos my friend,so plz don't take offense! Keep on ⚒️ ing my friend!!
You can soften the file by heating it up in your forge to a non magnetic state. Then put the file in bucket or box of sand fully cover the file. Let it in the sand until fully cool to the touch. Now it will be soft enough to cut with a hacksaw or any other method.
Going back after subscribing to watch the original videos and see how your setup improves!

What type of steel are files generally made of?
How did you cut the file? I tried using my angle grinder and it snapped the file

What do you coat it with when it's finished to prevent rust and make it food safe
Nicky Hughes butcher block oil. It’s basically a mix of beeswax and mineral oil. Also you could use any sort of cooking oil
Old Hickory Forge thanks for the reply I had heard flaxseed oil before too keep up the great videos
Linseed oil works well too.
@@heydenlabelle513 Linseed oil should not be used on anything that will be near food
@@dobson. would tung oil be the better option for this sort of thing?
your work is fantastic but, try to present it better
