Threw this together last night, quick video without any real prep or planning, but thought it might be interesting for some. |

That looks pretty doable. When installing new frets, do they go in sideways as well? |

Dave, you are the single most anal guy I've ever met in my life. And I can't imagine a higher compliment for a high end repair guy

After the fretting I've done, pushing one in from the side sounds like pushing a rope! thanks, Mike |

Can't see much in this photo, but they used a caul connected by cables to a foot lever, press down and it would pull the fret in to the slot. Dan has some much more clear drawings of the system they used in Guitar Player Repair Guide.
