Checkering is easy. Not a bad idea fisherman66.

Pro-tip - Practice on scrap brass before trying to do the real piece.

Bondo the metal to a thin piece of wood (same width) and clamp in vise.

Layout is important. Using a pencil, draw from longest point going from L to R (or R to L). Longest point from R to L (or L to R).

I'd use a checkering file. Go slow and keep it under control. The drawn lines are your guide until you file a line that the file will rest on as a guide. Then go the other way. Continue until you have nicely checquered pyramids.
