    Thank you for this.
    It was in this 'movie' or one very similar that was posted here before I noticed the fret installation that ended with a horizontal tap on the fret.
    As a nobody novice I had to think on this move.
    My fret stock has a horizontal aspect to the barb. A horizontal tap on the seated fret would move the barb into new wood...on a new board...and not likely to lift.?

    I was kind of amazed by the induced arch on the back of these.
