Practice, practice, practice. It takes filing away 100s of chains to really get really good at it, after a while you feel what you are doing more than you see it. I could sharpen a chain blindfolded as well as not and basically I do because I can't see up close without my glasses which fog up horribly when I try to put them on while working.  :D
