@deej I’ll start a thread at some point for updates, would have already but given most people here have presumably done what I’m soon to do I didn’t actually expect anyone to want to see another build...

@deej I would agree with you, we all want to see what others are doing even if it’s the same model. The live streams gave me an incentive to start building again after a quiet spell of not doing much.

Yeah @tej of course we want to see your Bandsman build but not only that, we want to see you building it. 😉

I have the electric version - works very good indeed @Russ Cheers @deej. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Oh and gold flake on the strat..... @deej I can’t on this one, it’s not for me, it’s going back to America 🇺🇸 This one will be large metal flake covered in bright pink candy paint, it...

Hey @boo. Do you think the electrically powered version work as well as the compressor type? 🤔 I have the electric version - works very good indeed @Russ I think the electric one is prefera...

@jonhodgson Thanks, I looked it up earlier after not getting a real answer, but @robin came through with some info at least! When you guys use a term I don’t understand I’ll look it up. This time I fi...

@markbailey I’m so sorry to hear of the horrendous problems you’ve had and your especially your mums health. I do hope she makes a speedy recovery and that you get to see her soon. Your family should...

Thanks everyone for your views, I think that I’m just going to go with the hammer. I like the press idea as I like most task specific tools but for the number of guitars I’ll be making I don’t think t...

Hi @ jonhodgson, that’s an interesting consideration but it does rely on the fret wire being manufactured to a very close tolerance and this isn’t my experience. Maybe brands differ this respect and t...

I’ve used a hammer for years until I started getting hand problems and thought I would try the vice grip type of press from Tonetech. Guess what I’m still undecided. If the slots are the correct size ...

@darrenking Perhaps the best argument is that you can achieve better consistency. Chris of Highline guitars is of the opinion that using a fret press, along with precision at every other stage of fret...

I’ve fretted 4 necks with a hammer so far As you all know, I really love a gadget or a jig but I just don’t understand the benefit, either in terms of speed of insertion, or of effectiveness, of usin...

I’ve fretted 4 necks with a hammer so far - never tried a press - hammer is very simple and quick....

I’m serious about cutting off the cables, that’ll stop most people from using it if they find it. You can sleep better knowing that you’ve most likey saved someone else’s fingers! 😉 @mattbeel...
