Fillippo - It looks like a similar design to the Taylor Fret Buck which Bob Taylor's group used to use for fretting above the sound board. I think LMI, or Stew Mac sell them. The picture looks good but I wonder if it has enough mass to absorb the fret hammer blows. I think SM also sells a Vise-Grip type tool that can press the frets in this area.

Much cheaper to use a $12.00 auto body repair dolly
