Hi all I am new here and new to 3 string CBG s I have built a few UkUleles but with pre fretted finger boards. I now wish to built  a 3 string CBG and I am about to order a stew mac fretsaw. As I am shipping to Australia I thought I should ask here about some other basic items and tools I should include in the order to make things easier. I would love the miter box set up but its not cheap so I will look at other options here. I did look at a thread which talked about dovetail saws but it seems the width of cut is crucial and the stew macs should be correct? Stew mac talks about their saw and their fret wire matching so should I get a supply of their wire as well > Which tuners do you guy recommend etc, you get the idea hold my hand on this first order , I am sure there will be others but get me started. Thanks in advance. Mitchell

Whereabouts are you mate? I'd look at a Japanese pull saw from carbiTech ;) ..
The landlord here, mr gitty is far cheaper for shipping to au than stew Mac in my experience, stew Mac will often use too large a box, send you a nice litre of USA air..
