I couldn’t find any yellow fret inlay dots that my customer had specified so I found some coloured acrylic rods so I could make some. Thanks to people on here for helping me find such places that sell...

I'm trying to get my first build off of the ground it's getting in to my budget a little more than I expected. I went on line to buy enough cam clamps to get started and got sticker shock, $30 US each...
