Tools: drill with small side dot bit, sandpaper ,superglue, clamp, sanding beam
Accomplishments: this week I drilled the holes for my side fret dots and glued in dots and sanded them down to flush and then I started sanding my fretboard to eventually get it to a 2000 grit sandpaper so it will be super smooth. I also superglued one fret because Mr. McCormack accidentally pressed a fret into my neck instead of Gary’s and I sanded that away and you can’t even tell now.
What I learned: I learned how to put side dots into my fingerboard and I learned that it’s a lot easier to drill with the drill in forward not reverse. I haven’t laid in my frets yet but when I was watching Mr McCormack and Gary doing it I learned a little about how to do that and how to bend them to the right radius. And that you need to clip vertically not horizontally or else they will be crooked. I also learned that you can repair a fret slot if you accidentally need to take one out really easy with a little super glue and tape.
