I used to use a pack of Stanley knife blades of various sizes as fret rockers
for the bevel i used a square piece of aluminium with double sided tape to stick on some 240 grit
I got a set of various tiny trojan files for about $10 for crowning the frets
some 0000 steel wool and metal polish for polishing frets
some blue painters tape to protect your fret board.

Heres a good clip on how to do.

I'm just not sure I trust myself entirely to do it well. Seems like one of those jobs that if you don't do it well, it can be bad in a sense
