So I was just working on a fret board, trying out the whole toothpick fret idea and after about five minutes of carefully trying to separate my thumb from the fret board I wonder am I the only one of us that has ever glued his thumb to a fret board?

If your gonna use real frett wire to save $$$ on the saw use a copping saw with a hack saw blade it is as close to the right size as you will find without actually buying a fret saw a little Elmer glue and your good to go
More often than not, I'd come away with a fret attached to me. I solved this by cutting slots, putting a bead of glue in it, laying the fret in, and then using something else (pencil, etc.) to position it and hold it in place for a moment. I just got me a new-fangled fret saw and wire from stewmac. I guess we'll see how that works.
