I have some frets to fix soon. I may give this clamp technique a go and see how well it works.
i like that you put your mistakes in. lol makes me feel a little better about mine!
Dude, I haven't even put them ALL in! I figured I had to be a little selective otherwise it would just be a blooper reel.
Maybe I'll do a "Whoopsie" episode later?
ive enjoyed your journey so far!
I'm so glad! There's about a dozen or more parts left to go. Hope you enjoy those too.

I wish you the very best of luck! As you saw from my mistakes, make sure to cut the fret slots deep enough, and use some sort of support caul or backing on the back so that you don’t cause any damage.
