 The need for LemOil, for fingerboard conditioning, most popular being

Kyser;

 The need for a few scrap bits of wood;

 The use of a v-shaped spanner;

 The need for turpentine (or methylated spirits, not as strong as turps).

I mentioned white spirits on the videos but I advise methylated spirits (or
turpentine if you can find it) because it doesn’t leave the white residue that
lower quality white spirits can sometimes leave .. a bit of a side note for you.
