DLP Les Paul Prototype - 24 - Finishing the Frets

After marking out all the frets last night today I knocked them all in place.  I use a piece of hard wood rather than hammering the frets with my hammer directly.  


Once all the frets were in place I trimmed then as near to flush as possible, then filed them flush to the edge of the fingerboard and then finally added an angled edge for comfort using my home made fret level block!


That's one side trimmed and filled flush ready to have the angled edge added.  There isn't much more to do at the moment with the frets, I will have to level them once I have shaped the back of the neck.


It's starting to look something like a guitar neck at last!
