This is the one that scared me. I watched so many different videos on this. Once I got the fret rocker and went over the fret board I found so many frets were not level. Never very much in it and who knows if this would have made a significant difference, but if I am doing this, then I am going all the way.
The board all taped and marked where the frets are high - you can see the marker is everywhere.
After sanding. Videos have told me to sand till there is at least a thin line through the marker pen
This is the first fret. You can see how much was taken off on the far side to get the near side to just be done.
Covered the frets with marker pen again and got my new fret crowning file out. This time you go till a thin line of marker is left.
Taped up again to cover where the tape was damaged. Ran some fine grit wet and dry (in dry state) along the length of the board. Removed as much of the tool marks as possible and polished them up a bit. Then got out the dremel with a polishing bit and some polish compound to make them sparkle.
