New Build Fret Installation

The drill press is useful as an arbor press so It is used for installing frets. The press has a 12 Inch radius matching the fingerboard. Frets are polished after fitting and crowing the ends. The fingerboard is bound with walnut around maple with walnut dot markers. Shaping up very well.
