Week 8 Build

Accomplishments: This week I mainly focused on pressing in my frets. Using a fret bender I placed the fret wire into it and spun the crank that spun the wheel to bend the fret enough so that when I pressed them they wouldn’t pop back out. After measuring out just enough of the fret I cut it using a flush cut end nippers. Then I went to the drill press machine that had s special piece it that resembled the curve of the fret and pressed it down into my fingerboard. Once pressed, I cut the ends and then filled off the metal remaining on the sides to make them flush with the rest of the board

Tools: fret bender, flush cut end nippers, file

Learned: This week I learned how to properly press and cut the frets
