Feline Workshop video : rounding fret ends
« on: February 26, 2010, 04:17:40 PM »
Just posted up a new video on Youtube detailing how we treat the ends of frets when we do a refret or when we are building a new guitar.

Its a quick enough video but I am hoping to do some others about installing Earvana nuts etc so thought I would get used to the process.

Have a look : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvHTgmPV_Tk

Content was great, however you really need to sort your focusing. Can you get someone to do it for you and focus manually?

Thanks guys - yes doing it solo and not having a camera operator made for some compromises and it was all done in a single shoot - no retakes or anything. Edited a couple of moments out - mainly for taking too long getting from one stage to the next.

Main thing is the content and explanation being up to scratch - people will put up with dodgy focussing if the content is good  more than lousy content well filmed.

Hope you enjoyed - will certainly do some more!

Loved that comment you inserted about the speed coming from 20 years experience as you whizzzed through the frets in a few seconds flat :lol:

Yeah, some of my favourite videos have a shakey camera, poor lighting & inconsistant focus.. but I'm lucky to have a University halls of residence near me..

I took this in Philly Q's garden the other night...  :P

Lovely stuff.

Although I've heard you explain how you do them, seeing you actually do it makes a huge difference. And it was a good easy going commentary as well.

There was only one place where I felt the focus was frustrating - only frustrating, mind, didn't actually seem to hinder the info - it was on the close up of a finished fret end, I actually wanted to see it...

.... Hands up any other "Feline-fretwork" owners who actually reached over and grabbed their own guitar at that moment, so they could have a look :lol:

You got the wrong one!  Mine has shoulder-height weeds and brambles and a few fox skeletons....
