| its fairly quick and you can get a decent, accurate job done with the hangar in a vice/ then shaped with small files...a bit like a nail file, but finer....works a treat. thats how i did mine, and they came out boss |

| You can shape them by hand. I bought a set of small metal files last week and did some. |

Only some slight differences. The shaped ones look nicer. If the hanger is filed, then it should grind smoother. Also it would be slightly lighter than if it wasn't shaped. |
