Drilling the Holes
Photo Description:
I'm using steel wire that is .061", so I have to drill holes and hope there is no pooching out of the side of the fretboard. Thank you dulcimore.com for your guidance! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDmA_O5_ECk

It has been quite a while because I've been in a fog of life. Since I can see that I guess that means life is clearing up--does it ever, really?
Hi Mark ! RE 'pooching out' I do not know how you cut the wire for your staples, but I use pliers and try to ensure that any chisel edge formed on the legs of a staple' finish perpendicular to the edge of the fret board so that they cut thro' the grain, rather that parallel to the edge of the fretboard, where the they more easily would 'part the grain' and thus possibly 'pooch out' the side wall of the fret board ???
