Step 6File Handle from Crutch Handle
Crutch handles make great file handles. Just pound the file tang in there and start filing.
To make it fit extra well heat the tang up with a blowtorch before jamming it in. Dip the whole thing in water if you think it might burn too much.
don't worry about wrecking the temper of the tang, it's already annealed.
Skipole handles make good file handles too.

Drill a small hole straight through the ball, push the tang into it, then bounce the file on its end a couple of times (let the ball's inertia drive it on firmly).
I find this extra-handy as I live next to a golf-course ;-)
