Leveling and crowning frets and then installing the nut on my first build. After that the bridge goes on. I'm so close! :)

Re: What is going on in your shop?
I have 3 going at the moment.
One is a D42 and another is a D35 in Brazilian that I got from Blues Creek.
The other is a 1973 Martin tenor restoration I am finishing up.

Me trying to finish this Dred....hopefully by this Saturday, then an OM form for my bender to make, refinish a chair or two for my wife, then I'll start the next one, which will be another EIR Dred, very much similar to what I'm finishing up now.

Re: What is going on in your shop?
I played hooky from work today. Did some inlaying:
- 1st fingerboard is Macc Ebony, and I wanted a simple inlay as the wood is the bling. Simple 3 mm dots. This is going on the OM I am building
- 2nd is ebony bound in curly koa, and inlayed with trad larson bros prairie state inlays. That will go on the Mad Rw Jumbo I am building that is my take on the prairie state shape. Glenn

Re: What is going on in your shop?
Looks nice Glen!
I put another coat of Zpoxy on the back of my Cuban 00. Sanded with 320g 3M sandpaper and have it all level except for a few low spots. I've done this probably 5 times previously and each time I've sanded through the zpoxy somewhere before leveling.
I'm debating "drop filling" the low spots with more zpoxy before sanding further. Think this will work?

Darryl, Not seeing what you are but reading that you are sanding though in areas you might need to think about high spots instead of low spots.
How big are the low spot areas? After you have leveled without sanding through, drop filling the low areas may work. Drop fill and scrap the filled areas level with a razor blade.
