Why do people make things that they could buy ready-made?

Because they can.
Richard ............... I do a little building myself. I build the parts that it makes sense for me to build. For me it's the wooden parts. I may fabricate somthing if it's not available. Fret dots are available.

When I built my Snakehead Esquire Prototype I made my fret dots because the size I needed wasn't available. I guess I just see that André's method leaves a lot to be desired considering he's saving only $10.

It would be interesting to see what a good hard whack with a hammer and hole punch would do to that mother of pearl.
