ShopVac

This is what a pound and a half of sawdust looks like. You'd be surprised how fast you can make it. This little vacuum, set up to be ultra-convenient, is worth its weight in gold. The vacuum is basically integrated into the workbench, so it is always handy. Both belt sanders have quick hookups.

This baby ShopVac was another freebie for review from Home Depot. It works just fine and fits right under the workbench on a shelf I built for it. I extended the hose with another that fits from a vacuum I scavenged from the roadside.

Fret Wire

Bulk fret wire is available in a variety of sizes on eBay, and I see no difference between the bulk wire and pre-cut Fender frets, except the cost - you can fret a neck for less than half the price. It is really not much more work, especially if you are doing a bound neck that requires a lot of fussing.
