[TheForge] Effective filing

[Grover Richardson]

My daddy was the saw boy in middle Mississippi before WW II.  There was no
power.  The old adage measure twice, cut once fit ever so certainly in the
middle of the cotton fields.  It took me almost 30 years to get the rythem
of the hand saw.  I saw what he was doing, and heard what he was saying, but
until you can figure it out yourself, it doesn't make sense.  Even now, I
have a hard time telling folks exactly how to do it, but do well.

Almost got the file down though<G>.

	Peter held an entire class on filing?  Cool.  It deserves at least
that 
much attention, and IMO more.

	Something far too many people know nothing about.
