Installing Abalone Fret Markers for Guitar

Installing fretboard markers is conceptually simple, but drilling 1mm deep holes in perfect alignment is more challenging than you might think!

Here in the UK where we drink pints of beer, but litres of milk or drive for miles, yet measure in metric. That mode button on the capilers or kitchen scales comes in very handy :)

"Pint" is my favorite sized glass at home, even when it's just water in the cup.
It's funny about my depth stop...I didn't show it in the video because I didn't want to mess with anyone's head, but I had to set the stop at 2.5mm to drill a 1mm hole. Maybe we need a third unit of measurement 🤔

This is fascinating to watch.

I can see myself getting more into inlays besides dots. Nature provides a lot of beautiful stuff to work with

The pace is very good, the sound is great, and the editing is nice.
You may want to have Texas toast review your GGBO 2021 videos.

[@zwitchguitars]

Thanks! I didn't realize Texas Toast reviewing videos was a thing, did they announce that in one of their videos?

[@MichaelTMcCoy]

@@zwitchguitars this done two already this week. But you have to contact Matt by email.

[@bhartissimo]

@@zwitchguitars They're doing reaction videos. But you'll have to email them (Matt said don't message, don't call) and let them know you're OK with them doing a reaction video of your build video.

@@MichaelTMcCoy Thanks, sent off my email!

[@zwitchguitars]

@@bhartissimo Thanks, I found the videos and sent in my email. Would be pretty cool if Matt and Chris did one of my videos.
