Flush cutting nippers. That's about it for specialty tools on a freshly flattened fingerboard
At least, I hope so. I might have to buy a fret rocker and flat file and crowning file if I get a lot of buzzing once it's strung up.I used a cam clamp and the radius sanding block used to radius the fingerboard to press the frets in (but only the very end of the block, as it gets dented up by the frets). I'm not particularly comfortable smacking my beautiful neck with a hammer, and the frets are less likely to dent or crimp as well. Smash at the stubborn ones with a small wood block (by hand or with the clamp). Then masking tape all over, nip off the ends, and use a plain ol' bastard file to bevel them, followed by sandpaper to smooth the ends. A fret dressing file would be very handy here, but by no means essential.
Oh, and fret tang nipping, here's a cool tip I found somewhere. Buy a nibbling tool, like this: http://www.amazon.com/Parts-Express-Nickel-Plated-Nibbling/dp/B0002KRACO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1286771031&sr=8-1
And use a Dremel cutting wheel to grind in a little slot for the fret to sit in, while the cutter nips the tang off of it. Works like a charm, basically the same as Stewmac's tool.
