Tommy Peoples : The Laird of Drumblair/Little John's Hame [Strathspeys]
Tommy Peoples plays two Scottish strathspeys in the RTÉ Dublin studio in January 1981. The second tune is a J.Scott Skinner composition.
@ceadachrua thing is, the strathspey is a dance, and a very graceful dance too. If any lassie tried to dance to this, she would end up with multiple fractures to the toes and ankles. I am all for speed fiddling in the appropriate place and time, but please, not when playing a strathspey.
Inciden...

Refret Tutorial Chapter 3
Chapter three of the refret tutorial. This covers the actual prep and installation of the fret wire.
The drill table flexes somewhat when you use the drill press like an arbor press.
You would get a more solid feel if you cut a 4"x2" to length and wedged it between the drill table and the drill base so that it acted as a secondary support column.
Excellent series of videos btw ...

Fret work_pulling fret
ギターのフレットを抜いているところ。
The scene which pulls a fret.
@weseyedwalk No, it doesn't.
Heating the fret softens the wood fibers in the end grain of the slot, (and also any glue which might be in there, )and helps the fret to come out without any tear-out. The fret puller has sharp jaws which slip under the fret crown, but they don't crimp the barbs.

About murrmac
I have three passions in life (other than my darling wife) and these are woodworking, engineering and the guitar. These three have come together in the development of the Murrmac Jig, which is a jig used in the set-up and refretting of guitars. There have been previous jigs designed for this purpose, but my one represents a quantum leap forward, it is to previous jigs as the Ferrari is to the Model T Ford.
Luthiers, guitar techs and players alike will find this jig to be of great interest, basically it will allow the precision of a Plek set-up without the horrendous financial outlay.
My website is in the process of being set up at the moment, and these jigs will hopefully be available for guitarmakers and guitar techs to purchase either before or just after the New Year.
Custom Telecaster bodies will still continue to be produced, and I still haven't abandoned the idea of a performance Youtube video ...
