made a fret board and double sided taped it on to try it out. frets are just some brass tube glued on.

Thanks Roadkill.

The tube is hollow so I stuck tooth picks in the ends then took it to meet the belt sander.

Sounds good. I wouldn't have thought of using brass tubing.

Thanks for your comments guys. I just tryed it as i had some thin brass tube I have had one or two pop off.

Not when playing I had it in the garden and then in the house put it down and ping must be the temp change.

As for the intonation I have a twelve string with the head stock kaput so I just taped some paper on and rubbed it over with a sanded pencil and used that as template. I did cut slots and used super glue.

Dobbin get fret wire its less work!!

anyone have a reason NOT to use clipped finishing nails?

Yeah.   Nice to listen to.  Got to agree with Kieth.  Intonation sounds precise.
