[TheForge] surface finish

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

Thanks for all the response on the surface finish question. For me I 
think the best solution is to fasten mechanically (rivets) as Bill 
Wooley suggested or to just live with the surface differences. If 
grinding marks are smoothed and blended I see them as process marks and 
not offensive for the most part. Thanks again.
