    Nice work.

    You'll need to scrape the lacquer off the frets and sand the lacquer back anyway, so you'll certainly need to repolish the frets after doing that, so you might as well wait to do the fret levelling and just go through the polishing process once.

    I'm not even attempting to do anything guitar-wise at the moment, it's just too hot. Over 36°C on my patio in the shade yesterday (a couple of degrees warmer than true shade temperature due to it being south-west facing and the house and slabs absorbing heat and warming the air up more locally). Should get much better tomorrow though, back to mid-20s and having now having a chance to acclimatise, should be pleasant to work in.

    Yes I was going to do some stuff today, but it is just too warm. Similar sort of temperatures to you (I'm Epsom which isn''t miles away from you) so it's a case of .... errr.... chilling! (Or whatever the appropriate phrase is!)
