Who else sales a fret press caul. I know I saw one, I just can't remember where. I actually thought I saw one of the OLF venders with one but I can't find it again.

Dale, you made the right choice my friend!

You can buy an arbor press just like the one in the stew mac catelogue CHEAP, just look for an import distributor in your neighbourhood! I just bought one new for $35 CDN but I had to drill a hole to insert the caul shaft and another at 90 degrees that I tapped to install a set screw to hold the caul in place.

And John, thanks for the fine craftsmanship of your goods!
