    Today I grain filled and sanded with 320 grit.
    Shhmoooooooth.

    Then Mr Postman delivered a present!
    My new fret crowning / polishing device arrived

    The Thomas Ginex High- Speed Fret Crowning Tool....
    Complete with two Guitar Picks!!!

    I used it on Bari neck. Me Likey a Lot. Will do a proper thread very soon on this toy.
    Then wax Fretboard...... Sigh...
    Ready for sealer coats.

    Then a pic of the LP body.
    Coolangatta Gold and Nullarbor Ochre Sunbursty thingy..

    nice one DB, so is the fret crowning tool just a grooved mesh style pad ? Or do you put the sandpaper in between the pad the the frets ? Interested to see it in action. Neck looks schweet.
    That must be the junior that burst looks very nice

    Sorry, was excited and neglected to explain how it works.

    Level frets as normal, then place the abrasive paper grit side down on frets.
    Then hold sheet and level thingy and run it up and down the neck... Like driving over multiple speed humps in an old Ford panel van

    Change down grits and repeat.
    Frets are perfectly crowned in less than five minutes....

    NOTE. Final critique on this toy will be given after Guitar is completed.

    Then I polish the frets with a Dremel and felt polishing widget...

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    wow that sounds cool DB, look forward to see how it works. I thought you would have to move the thingy sideways in the direction of the frets to crown them
