Filing smoothens out the workpiece's rough edges. It seems a lot of benchwork still needs to be done in my spiritual life. Otherwise this piece won't fit in nicely in Your "great master plan."

Benchwork
Don Bosco Poipet's new intake of Voc-tech students comes from the grade 6 entry level (Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville have grade 9 as entry level). They are being introduced to the world of benchwork. This starts with long hours of filing. I could still remember our batch when we did the same many years ago in college. Boy! how we hated this gruelling and humbling exercise. Time dragged on as we yearned to be transferred to the less laborious yet more prestigious lathes and the shapers. Until one day, we had a field trip to Toyota Motors. There we learned that the "filers" received higher salary than the "machinists" and the best ones were even taken to Toyota Japan. That experienced changed the wold of "filing" for us.
