Building a Telecaster styled guitar: Fret Press

Fret Press
Hot off the bench, a Fret Press. The 7 1/4" radiused maple block has a piece of aluminum (soffit) attached (with two sided tape) to the bearing surface. The opposing concave surface is lined with a piece of leather to avoid marring the back of the neck. The two 4" pressure-wheels are made from 3/4" baltic birch plywood. The two 3/8" nuts are pressed and glued (gorilla glue) into recessed holes in the top surface of the pressure-wheels.
