Using a FileWhen filing a piece of jewelry, start with coarse files first, then move to finer files. Always file in a forward motion, and to prevent unintentionally rounded edges make sure a flat file is parallel to the work and does not drop at either end.Another way to ensure you file in a straight line is to place your work in a vise. Once the work has been placed in the vise, hold the file horizontally in both hands, then move it forward, making sure that it is always flat and parallel to the vise. When you get to the end of the piece, be sure not to drag the file backward. Instead, lift it up and start filing from the beginning.
