Good idea.  I already ordered the Med. Med. fret wire.  I will try to use the files I have.  Although the dressing file looks like something I will need.  I have the scarf joint drying.  I don't have a fret saw, thinking about using my band saw or jig saw with the blade reversed, or could I use a hack saw?  thanx bill

I’m glad you’re already evolving towards advanced techniques like scarf joints & frets? better to use the right saw, frets could pop up if the blade is too wide for the fret tangs? Check the width of the fret tang against the blades you have, to see if it’s narrow enough? good luck on your future builds :)
