Well Arch, I got my Sears Dunlap lathe in 1936. Tools available were
for spindle turning so I made hollowing tools out of car leaf springs
and very heavy duty files. Worked pretty well too.


Of course there was lead in the gas, no seatbelts in the cars and no helmets
for tricycle riders then. I suppose that's what made scrapers from files
seem safe then and dangerous now.
