Making a four string neck part 5 (pressing the frets)

Once i sanded my fretboards how i like them I pressed and trimmed the frets

The pictures tell the story. I used to hammer them but that was a pain in the ass so I made this press. and Also made a few blocks and shims so I can press all the frets up to the high end.notice how I turned my kitchen table into my workshop. this makes my wife so happy.....not.

dig the blurry pics.

 I use a pair of flush cut nippers to trim the ends close so i don't have to file so much.

Brick chisel. I layed about a million bricks in the front of my house with this in it's first life.
