Nib Files

Anybody else use these handy little things? They really come in handy when finishing boards of almost every type of construction. 

Runs, blobs of resin, bugs that commit suicide, etc. all more easily dealt with by using a nib file before sanding. 

I use a bamboo toothpick to clean them.

 

 

Also known as vixen files. I find them at flea markets and yard sales

A vixen file is a different tool. And a file is one tool I will not buy used.
