Tonight, I went about filing the fret ends flush to the fret board sides and filing for bevel...
I have to rethink and improve my bevel filing block. It was a bit unwieldy and could be easier to use.
How it looked liked while filing the sides... I realized how you consistently trim the excess fret wire is important for better efficiency. I also preferred using the rough cut file until things were near enough to the fret board sides.
A slight waste of tape but instead of only protecting the sides of the fret board for the current job, I went about taking a "taping rehearsal" for the eventual fret leveling process.
A bit of a tense work night for me. Double the effort at concentration in order to avoid making any mistakes and possibly marring the finish. I couldn't bother to take any more pictures as I went along.
Here's a portion after being done with beveling...
Quite tired...
Busy schedule in the next few days and will be resuming to inspect, assess and evaluate things more thoroughly after this weekend before going any further.
Until then...
