This is a series of pictures of the steps I took to create some filework. Hope it helps someone. I dreaded the first attempt because I hadn't thought it all out but now I can see my way clear and hope these pics encourage more people to try. Any critique, comments, criticisms or other ideas are weicome since I am just starting out on this.

Forgot to note that all work after the u shaped notches is done goes toward the blade end of the spring. So on one side of the surface you are working to the left of the u notch and on the other you are working just the opposite.
