    To prepare the site where the hinge knuckles go I file with a 6"
    flat file an angle on there first, at about 45deg, I don't know what
    that is in US measurements :) to prepare the area for the 'vee', then
    I saw a long cut along the centre of the flat area, and then file
    with a rat's tail. The file tends to stay in place with the saw cut
    there. 

Cheers
Bri
