I just cut the strips out then angle cut the ends of one side so I can line up the overlapping fret lines and then tape the strips together.

Working on moving beyond the StewMac miter box for cutting the slots to a custom sled on Harbor Freight's 4" Mighty Mite table saw! It should be more versatile technique.

Question on use.

I just installed Wfret on a laptop with Windows 10. No printer connected at the moment so I print as pdf file then can carry the laptop to a printer later.

The PDF file basically looked like two lengths of fretboard laid side by side.

Obviously, most fretboards will be longer than letter-size 8.5"x11" (or metric A4?) paper, so this is probably normal...

Just cut the sections out and line them in-line?

Thank you

This is excellent! Thanks for sharing. I built one fretless cigar box guitar and was looking into what I need for the next build to be a fretted model.

Wfret installs and runs using the WINE windows emulator on a linux machine.

Greg, just pick a big number like 22 or 23 and print it out. Mark the frets up until you run out of fretboard.

I am new to fretting and guitar building that said i have a 3 string guitar with a fret board 17" in length and i assume the scale length is the distance from the nut to the bridge so if i am right so far and this software asks how many frets what is the answer?

I've used this before but never tried to enter a fractional scale length that is not on the preloaded list.  I am trying to enter 12 7/8 (It's a long story) but I keep getting an error message saying the scale length is 0.  Any suggestions?
