Maker Tin

Step 5Metal File

Metal File
Files are always useful and although the kit also has sandpaper sometimes that just dosent cut it.

Unlike the craft knife i couldn't just cut a file in half because they are huge, heavy and i only have one :)

So i found a small file on the back of some nail clippers i got in a Christmas cracker, and used a pair of pliers to snap it off.

You can also find small ignition/spark-plug files in most auto depts that will fit an Altoids tin. They have more 'bite' than a nail file, too.
