I did level them. I just did not file ends down enough.

I take it, by your lack of proliferate posts, you did not get your money in time to reconnect your internet.

That sucks. That really sucks.

Watch the fuckers try to bill you for days you didn't have internet. I've had good luck with ISPs - mostly... The last one pissed me off enough to tell 'em to fuck off, but they've usually been alright by me. Still, I've heard some horror stories.

The shit needs to be regulated as a public concern, like water, electricity, and landline telephones. Sadly, cell phone service comes with no protections, nor does internet over cable lines. If you're getting your internet over the phone lines, you actually have some PUC protections - in most jurisdictions...

No. The funds are still not available to withdraw. But the printer that we repaired Monday afternoon did get approved and that will absolutely definitely be in my bank tomorrow so I will get the net turned on then for sure.

If you have a table saw and a file, you can just cut a slot in a piece of wood at 35° and glue the file in the slot. Then, you just run the file down until they're all the same and all at the edge of the fretboard.

Or you can just buy said contraption for a few dollars at like aliexpress.com. You should also be able to get it in 45°, depending on your preferences.

How'd you level 'em?

With sandpaper glued to a straight edged long level

Life will be better with the 'net back on!

And, that's a good way to level frets. I've actually got a special tool for it, well several, but I no longer do my own luthier work. I can do all the work, I just don't want to. I also have too many guitars. Doing all the work would take up my time, even if it's just general inspections and cleanings.

But, I can even repair an acoustic top that has been punched in from someone stepping on it. There will be some sign that it was repaired, but I can fix it. I can fix a broken headstock easily enough, even if I have to make a jig to route a section out for replacement.
