    Great video as usual. Can you make a video on how you make this thick binding and how do you bend it?

    Hi, Aaron. Apologies if this is a silly question, but how do you measure action at the nut? I understand how to use the string action gauge at the 12th fret, but I have never figured out how to use it at the nut since the metal card is too long to fit there. Are you supposed to use one of the other sides? Or, is there a different tool for that? Thank you!

      I use a thin metal feeler gauge when cutting the nut slots. Then, I re-test it by fretting the fifth fret with one hand and pressing down at the first fret with the other. That Tells me by feel if it is to high or low.

    Do you have your sander and vacuum on a momentary foot switch? If so, you're basically my new Batman.
