Looking good and glad you got there in the end. We all learn from shared ideas of a problem.

Nice result. When you do it for another 30 years, you'll have it even better. Every my ruined piece makes me a line on the soul ..... Lessons from previous mistakes and their correction, that is the evolution of humanity. Unfortunately leaves it, with the new generation.

Can you explain the "with soap" thing? Like bar soap? Is that a lubricant essentially?

Hi,
Your part looks very nice and uniform. I like using soap as well for my file work. I have saved bars of soap from hotel rooms, cheaper than what my wife buys and gets good use. Little on the file or on the part, helps alot in keeping the file from loading up. B

I like the soap idea. Thanks.
I was taught to use chalk on the file to prevent lead alloys from loading up the teeth, but it seems to disappear after the first stroke. Can't wait to try the soap. I think you found much of the solution to the fender issue yourself, working the entire hem over gradually. If you push one part too far the transition to the unworked material next to it actually stretches, the opposite of what you're trying to achieve. (Ask me how I know. 😉 Lewis
