don't think anyone has mentioned files yet.  needle or riffler files are pretty handy and cheap.  although, quality files can get pricey.

here are some ideas:

this sanding stick is nice for smoothing:

a crude but sometimes useful aid to do radii, that everyone already has are chain files.   cut off the end, and use it to pull towards you.

hope it helps.
