Don't fret

Now we clean up the frets.

first I used this file block to make the ends smooth with the side of the fretboard and put an angle on them to get rid of the sharp edges.


Now to make them all level. I used a blue marker to color the tops of the frets and put some self stick 320 sand paper on a level and sand lightly.


It leaves the blue at the low spots.


I sanded just till the blue disappeaed then tested it with a straight edge. Then small pieces of sandpaper with my fingers progressively from 220, 320 and up to 1000 to make them shiny and smooth. The tape is there to protect the wood.
