not much done today, I spent most of the morning trying to buy a 6 mm brad point drill to drill out the fret board dots. Ended up having to buy one with a countersink as well which made it a $14 drill bit ! Anyways....took the countersink off put it in the drill press and removed the plastic dots, replaced them with abalone and a wee bit off timbermate around the edges. I chickened out on the brass dots, will order some smaller diameter stuff and use it on Steampunk axe I have vaguely planned for some time in the distant future *which means I'm collecting weird stuff for it. So once the dots are settled and dried I can polish the fret board and frets, the neck was spot on from the factory not a single high fret!
