Pehea i hana ʻia ai nā faila?

	ʻO ke kumu kumu o ka hana faila, ʻo ia ka ʻoki ʻana i nā niho i loko o kahi ʻāpana metala e hana ai i kahi mea hana ʻoʻoleʻa e hiki ke ʻoki i nā mea mai kahi ʻili palupalu.
	ʻOiai ua hana ʻia nā faila e ka lima no nā haneli mau makahiki, hiki iā lākou ke hana nui ʻia me nā mīkini. ʻO kēlā me kēia kaʻina hana e hahai i ke ʻano i wehewehe ʻia ma lalo nei.
E hana i kahi hakahaka
	ʻO ka hana mua i ka hana ʻana i kahi faila, ʻo ia ka hana ʻana i kahi ʻāpana metala e kūlike me ke ʻano a me ka nui o ka faila i hoʻopau ʻia. Kapa ʻia kēia ʻo "empty".
	No ka hoʻokō ʻana i kēia hopena, hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ke kila, hoʻoheheʻe ʻia a ninini ʻia i loko o kahi pahu e paʻa ai, a i ʻole ʻia ma waena o ʻelua mau ʻōwili kaumaha a ʻokiʻoki i ke ʻano i makemake ʻia.
Hoʻopili waihona
	ʻO ka Annealing kahi hana i hoʻopalupalu ʻia ke kila i mea e maʻalahi ai ka hana ʻana.
	Hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia ka faila a hiki i ka ʻulaʻula ʻeleʻele, a laila waiho ʻia e maʻalili ma ka lumi wela.
	No ka mea, hiki i ka hoʻomehana ʻana i kahi mea hana metala ke alakaʻi i kona deformation, ma hope o ka hoʻoluʻu ʻana, ʻeli ʻia a ʻoki ʻia paha i ke ʻano i makemake ʻia.
ʻOki niho me kahi faila
	I kēia manawa, me ke kōkua o kahi chisel, ʻoki ʻia nā niho i ka faila i nā manawa maʻamau.
	ʻO ka huina o nā niho ma kahi o 40-55 degere e pili ana i ka ʻili o ka faila, ma muli o ke ʻano o ke kumu i ʻoki ʻia i loko o ka faila. Kapa ʻia kēia kihi ʻo "ke kihi mua" o ka faila. No ka ʻike hou aku e ʻike He aha ka ʻoki faila?
	Inā haiki loa ke kihi o nā niho, ʻoi aku ka paʻa o lākou i ka ʻili o ka mea hana. Inā ʻoi aku ka nui o ka huina, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka haki ʻana a hemo mai ke kino o ka faila.
	Hiki ke hana ʻia kekahi mau faila me kahi kihi rake maikaʻi ʻole, ʻo ia ka mea e kuhikuhi maoli nā niho mai ka mea hana, ma mua o ia. I kēia hihia, ʻaʻole ʻoki nā niho i ka mea, akā e ʻoki ʻia ma luna o ka ʻili, e ʻoki i nā puʻupuʻu like ʻole (bulges) a kaomi i ka mea i ʻoki ʻia i loko o nā niho liʻiliʻi (lows).
	ʻOki pinepine ʻia kēia mau faila me nā niho maikaʻi a hoʻohana ʻia e hana i kahi ʻili maʻalahi loa.
	ʻOki lāʻau Hana ʻia nā niho rap me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka punch triangular e ʻoki i kēlā me kēia niho i kēlā me kēia. No ka ʻike hou aku e pili ana i nā rasps e ʻike: He aha ka rasp?
Paʻa waihona
	Ke ʻoki ʻia nā niho, pono e paʻakikī a paʻakikī paha ka faila i hiki iā ia ke ʻoki i nā mea ʻē aʻe me ka ʻole o ka pōʻino.
	Ua wela hou ka faila.
	Ke hiki i ka wela i makemake ʻia, e hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o kahi ʻauʻau brine nui a hoʻomaloʻo wikiwiki.
	ʻO kēia hoʻomaloʻo wikiwiki ka mea e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā kīʻaha i loko o ka hale molekala o ke kila, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī a hāʻawi i ka ikaika tensile.
	Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia kēia kaʻina hana e hōʻoia i ka paʻakikī o ke kila e hoʻohana ʻia e like me ka abrasive.
Hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻala
	ʻO kekahi hopena ʻaoʻao o ke kaʻina hana hoʻoheheʻe ʻana, ʻo ia ka hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ke kila, e ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ʻako a haki paha ke hāʻule.
	No ka mea ʻoi aku ka lahilahi o ka shank file ma mua o ke koena o ke kino, he wahi nāwaliwali kēia.
	No laila, ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ke koena o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa wela, hoʻomaʻamaʻa hou ʻia ka shank a ʻae ʻia e hoʻomaha i kahi mahana. Hoʻopalupalu hou kēia i ka shank, ʻoi aku ka palupalu a ʻoi aku ka pale ʻana i ka pōʻino.
	ʻO nā faila i hele i kēia ʻāpana o ke kaʻina hana i kekahi manawa i kapa ʻia ʻo "nā lāʻau wela hoʻololi".
