<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1950099, member: 112&quot;]That&#039;s just it, they were extremely regular. But I understand the reasoning for your comment.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Files have existed since 2000-1500 BC. The worked just the same then as they do today. And by 400 AD they were no different than they are today. For over 2000 years files were hand made, and made with great care so that they would function as the tools that they are. You see, a file with irregular teeth would not function properly, it would not do the job it was intended to do, which was to cut metal. And cut it in such a way so that it could be a finished product.</p><p><br /></p><p>By 1750 some files were being made by machine, with many others continuing to be made by hand. By 1800, most files were made by machine. But even today, many files are still made by hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now how do I know all of this ? Because I have taken the time to learn. I spent the early part of my life working with my hands so I had to know tools and how to use them. And given my natural curiosity I had this drive to learn many different things. My earliest tools were all hand tools of course, I was given them as a child by my grandfather, still own some of them today. My grandfather was born in 1903, and one of the tools he passed on to me was a file that he had had since he was a child. That file is well over 150 years old. And it looks exactly like one you would buy in a store today.</p><p><br /></p><p>The point is what I said in my comments above is all quite true. But nobody has to take my word for it, it&#039;s easy enough to look it up and see for yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now given that, what are your thoughts on that coin ?</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes Matt, I know all too well what the TPGs say. What I am asking people to do is to use their common sense after being given a little knowledge about what a file is, how it was made, and how it functioned as a tool.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
