Frank Ford has compiled over 300 shop tips in a new section on his site.

http://www.frets.com/FretsPages/ShopTips/tiplist.html

Some are familiar from around his site. Lots of little jewels of wisdom.

That's a lot of tips. He could have his own TV show.

Wonder if tip #9 would work for drilling holes in a lacquered surface?
That always seems a risky proposition.

Hey Pat
That's my post above. Forgot to log in.
I haven't read thru the complete list yet but it is incredible!!!!!
Frank must spend a lot of time compiling these things along with all that he has on his website.
All at no cost!
I'm puzzled as to why not more response to this thread as I see that a lot of people have read it.

LOTS of great tips!

This is the 3rd time I've jumped over to the site to read a few more. It will take a while to make it through the list!

One of my favorites so far: #89

This is such a great bunch of info, I sent him $25, which I've been meaning to do for a couple years.

Anybody else?

I think I knew most of what he has posted on the new links, but some of it was new to me and something I'll have to try out.

Thanks for the tip!
Ken
