Swiss Pattern Needle Files
About ten years back, when I had moved into my first college apartment, my roommates dumped a bunch of little plastic bits on our Ikea coffee table. I took a gander at the pieces and saw they were tiny components to a model science fiction army. Little
needle files. He asked me to join them and, being high out of my mind, I decided to try it out.
I worked on those little
space army figures for years. I dated very little during that time. I refuse to consider that there's a correlation.

needle files allow you to smooth out rough edges in material and to polish up fine engraving work. Speaking as a former model maker (I started dating again) they are excellent for removing the little nobs and plastic bits, known as flash, off your pieces. Needle files are often sold in sets and are perfect for a wide variety of work.
