    Use mine all the time. Have had it for 3 years! Best luthier tool out there by far. Darren also made me a fret leveling tool that matches. Thank you Darren

    I’ve had mine in my toolbox for years, fastest crown job ever. Works best with jumbo/jumbo frets.

    Would you consider making and selling one of these? And if so what would you charge? By the way thanks for sharing this tool. It's brilliant in my opinion.

    Thank you so much for putting together this quick video Darren! Much appreciated! I'll be making mine shortly now. Thank you again for taking the time to share this!
    Just a follow up question: Do you just hammer those 5/16 steel dowels into that drilled cavity? Or do they need to be held in place by something like an epoxy?

      Well the hole should be just past the point of half round. Then you slide them in. I just use super glue, medium thickness.

    seems to work very well, but I have no way to fabricate something like that. Drill two holes perfectly parallel? Need a drill press i think, at least for the precision I would want for a fret tool.

      @@sixstringelectricsoul The only one I have is a prototype one. It does the same job. I do not have any sanding pads that usually are part of the kit. I would sell you just the fret tool for $15
      It's made out of flamed walnut.

      After re-crowning frets, You run it up and down the fretboard over sanding sponges in different grits and the frets get perfectly round and polished in a moment compared to doing it by hand.

      Perhaps less of the attitude, and a little appreciation for a guy who is giving you great information free of charge.
