  • I place a short board over the fret and then hammer the board to seat the fret.

  • Hammer.
  • Ok, will just hammer it in then. I will use a piece of wood to protect the frets, thanks for tips.

  • Keen to see the finished instrument. Same as David, I position fret wire and tap in with luthier fretting hammer.
