  • Thanks Jay.  I'll keep my eyes peeled for one.

  • (sorry for answering so late - job, vacation, etc...)

    It's just a small saw with a blade for metal cutting. I had to remove the "kerf" using a file (= filed it flat, so the teeth do not protrude anymore)

    Bought it in a regular "construction market" in Germany, but it's China-made (what isn't nowadays...)

    Size? Dunno, after "flattening" it's just a teeny bit under 1mm, so the Goeldo Jumbo-sized frets sit perfectly in the groove.

  • Is the little silver saw the tool you use for cutting fret slots? If so, what can you tell us about it? Where to buy? Blade size? Etc? Thanks!
  • NIce, I'm liking working more with simple hand tools these days, although I'm not ready to give up my Makita palm sander just yet!

  • That's true, HC. Especially with pine, (a.k.a. the "patience wood")...

  • Having a bunch of fancy tools is nice, but not necessary---I have a garage full of power tools, but I can still build the old way---just takes a little longer!!!

  • Thank you, it's already high tech in comparison with tools Mongolian or Kenyan luthiers use for building their excellent instruments...
