Got the frets polished…

Next I turned my attention to that broken nut.  I used a grinding disk to cut a bone blank to the required size…

It’s a fiddley job which I rather hate, the job is easy, it’s just the smell of grinding bone, like working in a slaughter-house! yuk.

It needs a little work on the slot to get it to fit properly.  I’ll cut the string slots when I get the guitar back together.

With the frets done I gave the fret-board a good clean and re-oil….

Next I made a start on the hardware, unfortunately some of the parts I had planned to use don’t fit so I’m going to have to order some more.  Sadly there isn’t any more I can really do untill they arrive.

Keep watching, more to follow.
