I'm gonna get me some nut files and start learning how to cut nuts. While the files aren't cheap, over time I'll probably save as much on the cost of getting them made. A couple of quick questions though:
1. Radiusing the bottom. How does one do this? I think I read somewhere about a technique involving sanding with some sandpaper on the fretboard, so the sanding surface will have the correct radius. However that would mean sanding between a couple of frets - which would surely take forever. Is that the only way?
2. Suppliers. Who's good for nut blanks in the UK? I may order some from Stewmac if I get their files (undecided yet) but I am counting on ballsing up quite a bit, so may need a supplier closer to home! In particular do any UK suppliers do pre-radiused blanks?
Cheers all!
