Thank you, Ken. Exactly the info I was hoping to receive. Very helpful.
One more question - I don't think this barrel will need a file, but if it did what would you recommend to use? My tool collection is not real heavy in the file department.
Well, most of mine, and I have dozens, were picked up for pennies at garage sales and flea markets. For the most basic needs, you can get by with an inexpensive needle file set. You'll find that a larger selection comes in handy, even the larger "Bastard" files. Mostly, you'll end up using the medium and fine ones. Here's a couple of file tips: Don't store them piled together so they bang against one another when you rummage through your collection. I use an old silverware set box to keep mine organized. Second, get a piece of copper pipe, split one end and flare it out like a spatula. Use that to clean you files, it works much better than a wire file card.
