I am trying to find a tutorial on how to do the grind of a blade using files. I found the post by Primos in the FAQs, but I am having trouble envisioning the process (I am a very visual person, so pictures or video are best). Any help would be much appreciated.

You can download it in one piece here if you use torrent files.

This is the WIP I did for my first knife that 12345678910 mentioned. I still use that file guide to this day for fine tuning my grinds and will probably continue to use it as long as I make knives
the only reason I am switching over to a true belt grinder is the time it takes to file down a piece of 1/4" steel.

That is a free legal download linked from Green Pete's web page, you are not stealing anything by using it. It is also where I got the inspiration for my file jig, I just wanted something more precise.
