Hmmm...... I don’t know about that one BERBivore, it’s one for the master.
Make guitars, not war 🌍✌️🎸

Hey Herb
Standard practice:
(assuming you are right handed)
- Put your left hand through the soundhole and hold underneath the fretboard
- Lift the guitar off the bench
- Hammer in mid air against the inertia of the guitar with your right hand
It is a little unwieldy but tried and tested and a lot cheaper than the alternative (Stewmac Fret Buck - expensive but I'm sure its fantastic)
You can certainly clamp any problematic frets
Make sure to mask off the body 🙂

Oh no - it's not going to work... I'm left handed with hammers!
But... I have a cunning plan... thanks for this Sir

oh yeah - I forgot to say...if you are left handed...swap hands...genius. ? ?
or you could fill the soundhole with Turnips?
