yea, I got the idea of clay dots after reading that clay dots were used in guitar fretboards in the 50's and 60's, I watched a guy do a tutorial similar to the link below and thought I'd give it a go. I use a flat piece of aluminum instead of the squarish one. Anyway, I like the look. I made molds for 1/4", 1/8" and 3/16 dots. Clay comes in so many colors, although I have only used black and antique white so far.

I like using wood dots as well, but hard to make 3/16 and 1/8 ones.

Looks great, Lon.  I mark frets 3, 5, 7 and 12 on the player side right on the fret line spot. Makes playing easier for me.
