A while back I picked up a plane from a guy on Craigslist. He was selling off most of his stuff and down-sizing, so he also gave me a bunch of misc stuff that he didn't want to take with him. In one of the boxes was a set of small hobby files, which can come in handy thanks to the various shapes. However, they're tough to use without a handle and I didn't have a handle small enough to use for them. Oh what's a boy to do?
Print one, duh!
So here it is, fresh off the printer yesterday. The handle is a little small and the file took some effort to get it in there. It's far better than trying to use a file without a handle - more comfort and better control.
And then today I look at the weather and see that we're supposed to hit 52 degrees with winds under 10mph and sunny skies, pretty darn nice for Wisconsin in December!! I figured the printer was going to be lonely for a few hours while I'm gone, so I set it up quickly to print a bunch of handles while I'm gone. Now each file has it's own, which works well since some files are a very tight fit and others are pretty loose. On the loose ones I'll put a drop of CA in to secure the file in the handle. Maybe I'll need to make a file holder for them now...!
