body mods on an ST1 for a noob

Thanks DB. I'm thinking that a file/rasp as a start to remove the bulk and then much sandage. Any thoughts on that? Sanding alone would take far too long I would think - I don't have a belt sander, but even with an orbital and large grit I would be there for ages.

Yep definitely take unwanted meat off with the rasp.
An invaluable bit of kit in my arsenal is a rolled up 80 grit shearing disc emery, absolutely perfect for the job. You can get em' at any rural store (about $7), better yet if you know a shearer they'll have em' strewn all over their shed floor.
I even used it to round off the horns and everything because you can get plenty of meat off without fear of gouging out too much unlike the rasp.
