OK.  So you went long green for the Nicholson rasps.  You've got handles
on them and you are feeling pretty smug.

Now.  Wrap up those two nice shiny rasps.  Wrap a couple of your favorite
files as well.  Ship them off to Boggs Tool Processing out in sunny CA. 
Boggs sharpen files and rasps.  They sharpen other stuff too, but they
reallly shine on files.  I know, I know, whose ever heard of sharpening a
file?  Trust me.  Now, when they come back in a week or so, give those
Nicholsons another go.  Even better, eh?  Just be careful, they are
*really* sharp now.  And you didn't think that old cant saw file you had
would ever look (and cut) like new again, did you?  Pay the (very small)
invoice to Boggs and keep on smiling.

DAMHIKT. :-)

Bill (just a happy customer)
