    I think it was a Lincoln comm'l to demo it's smooth ride ( I think).

    In any case as I understand the process, it's the study of the rough
    that takes time and expertise.  Once a decision is made as to where
    the rough should be cleaved the rough is then notched and struck with
    the appropriate tool to cleave the material. 

    The irony of the comm'l is that a chimp could have accomplished what
    was shown in the comm'l.  All the difficult work was done before that
    blow was struck.
