Fretboard Day at Courtright Guitar Wurcs

The fretwire comes in a convenient coil which I snip into frets.
With a triangle file, I bevel the fret slots to ease entry of the fret


Banging home the frets- possibly the most fun thing to do in this whole process

The concrete floor is the perfect substrate since it don't bounce at all

Now the ends are cut off - eye protection is very, very important

Serious eye protection

Serious pose- thinking about how much my finger hurts after I caught it under my fret hammer

Admiring my handiwork whist I watch television - a favorite vampire movie
