Using the fretting pliers

With an extra caul I should be able to fret a piccolo neck.

The fret is cut to length and the ends are shaped.

The middle pic [is bad but] shows the pliers as I'm about to press the fret in.

And it works! I need to work a bit on the technique, but who doesn't.

This is along the lines of a technique I developed when re-fretting a uke a couple of months ago. Interesting! I'm going to try it again on my next project... though I don't have the impressive machinery that you have! ;-)
