VERY CHEAP HOMEMADE FRET WIRE BENDING JIG 2011-04-25 .wmv

I made this (not pretty , but it will be), fret wire bending jig for about $6. I used mostly what I had laying around in the basement and such. An old Chevy window crank for a handle , some Corian countertop material and an aluminum "L" braket. the bottom rollers are for a sliding screen door, and the top roller is made from a teflon spacer from Home Depot. I cut a fret tang slot around the teflon roller to keep it from moving during the forming process. I'll shape it , sand it, and shine it up this week end . After it's finished, I'll post a better video ! Thanks !!!.Steve
