Restorations #6: Nicholson 10” X-F No. 0 File

This is part 6 in a 7 part series: Restorations

Extra fine, aka dead smooth, made in USA.

There is something very satisfying about restoring a usable file that was destined for the trash.

Got this one for $5


Here is the before (file on the far left; it was completely rusted — minus a small part that I wire brushed to get a sense of whether the teeth were still sharp … and they are).

Devin,

Nice job restoring that file.

Thanks! You’ll be seeing a lot more. I have restored over 50 files this year alone.

There is a method to my madness.
