I’ll look before asking next time! -

@swepri He then used his own special clamping device, made of a small block of wood and a tuner + string, from the outside to pull a small block on the inside while the glue hardened. The reinforcement block also… Read more»

I’ve changed that now so anyone with the link should see it, if you’d like to try again. -

I’ve had a go at making kerf lining with my version of a jig that was in a video that @swepri posted a few days ago. My first attempt kerf lining isn’t as bendy as I’d hoped it would be…. Read more»

@swepri
An interesting build, it must be great to have the right tool for absolutely everything. I liked his simple jig for making the kerf lining, I’ll be copying that for my acoustic build. -

Nice work @swepri. Do you get better results with the fret press and is it easier than hammering them in?

@swepri Love the fret press, I must must must get one.
