    Don't forget a source of tool steel, available to most all of us at
    almost no cost--ordinary files! Almost all files are made of high
    carbon tool steel, even those made in strange places that don't even
    work very well as files. A very good source is your local junk shop
    or garage sale, often yielding a bunch of old rusty files that really
    aren't any good any more. Anneal them (you've just been taught how),
    cut them up into your new tool, properly heat treat them for your
    use (you've also just been taught how to do that) and finish
    sharpening them. 

    If you like making your own it's easy, fun and very inexpensive
    (even no shipping charges).
