Choose Wood</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Choose a piece of wood for your diploma picture frame. I choose Western Red Cedar because that is what I had lying around my workshop.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">Step 2: Cut Wood</span></span><span id="docs-internal-guid-dc22c8ed-f60c-e59a-722f-969e380d80bb" style="background-color: transparent; clear: right; color: black; float: right; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img height="239" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/gptoeVL2X83ZHwcOy7kDf3D7TqUDgahDDwYDhs_Fg1b9sNydfMYkDh_Ntsykb0_EMIuthwgBQnKr2ftFRAqIvIgV0YM36Jo4vv3GvdYxBGjE2dL0MD03f5FW2r-R5p-V9SCU7MjD" style="border: medium none; transform: rotate(0rad);" width="320" /></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><br />
<br />
Next, cut wood into 4 equal sections.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 3: Arrange wood pieces</span><span id="docs-internal-guid-dc22c8ed-f60e-3872-9236-9577e1f3311a" style="background-color: transparent; clear: right; color: black; float: right; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img height="239" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/W86YskDjcLkJhUsU1lH_m0OUcpB0cdMmOK3ITNUWTdN0Hksu6yXVoMwnPAII3-_cnrDd3jxSv1HolOi74UUuqM6nYnp6mO0EZlCnEBdlIU1i_EmX4QfXafGebvo7hTFHHcO-TgNn" style="border: medium none; transform: rotate(0rad);" width="320" /></span><br />
<br />
After the wood pieces are cut into equal lengths, arrange them how you would like the finished project to look.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />

Shave the pieces of wood so they are flat on all edges and make a groove on the back edge to hold the plexiglass and backboard.<br />

A long "flat" sanding block helps keep the sanding even across the width and provides leverage on each side.<br />

Here's a shot of the kerfing level with the top of the sides.<br />
<br />
Note: With the taper of the sides there was a divot at both ends of the tenor guitar, so I had to pay extra attention to leveling these sections so it blended evenly with the rest of the side profile.<br />

Once the kerfing was leveled, the back was dry fit and instead of notching the kerfing where the back braces met the sides, I just cut the braces.<br />

Terminology<br />
Kerf Linings aka: "kerfing" vs Tentalones<br />
<br />
The use of words kerfing and tentalones are commonly used interchangeably when in fact they are technically different that serve the same purpose.<br />
<br />
Kerf linings have a thin strip that connects the thicker material used to reinforce the side-top attachment.<br />
<br />
Tentalones are individual pieces of material glued to reinforce the sides to the sound board.<br />

I am use the term <i>tentalones</i> since I purchased them from <a href="http://www.hanalimastore.com/servlet/the-26/Kerfing-Tentalones-Ukulele-Purfling/Detail" target="_blank">Hana Lima 'Ia</a>, but technically, they are kerf linings, aka: kerfing. Once I meet a few more builders, I'll figure out the preferred nomenclature.<br />
<br />
Back to the build.........<br />
<br />
I pull all the spool clamps off and notice that a section of the left side did not glue securely......<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To progress forward, I sanding underneath the section that wasn't glued, then re-glued and clamped.<br />
<br />
At the same time, I measured and added my tentalones/kerfing.<br />

Here is a picture of both tenor guitars in their different states of development.<br />
<br />
One has the kerfing clamped in and the second has the top attached to the neck and sides bent.<br />
<br />

Once the sound board is mounted to the neck, I added a tail block at the bottom of the sound board the same width as the thickness of the sides away from the template line. <br />

Once the heel is shaped, I cut the top portion of the sound board that will meet the neck.<br />
<br />
To ensure alignment, I draw a center line down both the neck and sound board, the dry fit the two together and tac two small nails to mark my position.<br />

This tenor guitar has a 23" scale length.<br />
<br />
To determine the spacing between the frets and from the nut to each fret bar you have to do some math.<br />
<br />
Who doesn't love a good math equation =)<br />
<br />
The magic number to figure this out was derived from the Greek Philosopher/Mathematician <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoras" target="_blank">Pythagoras </a>and refined over the years to 17.817.<br />
<br />
A good article to read about calculating fret positions can be found <a href="http://liutaiomottola.com/formulae/fret.htm" target="_blank">here</a>. If you want to totally geek out, click <a href="http://www.theguitarschool.com/Guitarfretspacing.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
To find the fret spacing on any stringed instrument, you divide your scale length by this magic number to get your first fret position from the nut.<br />
<br />
Next, subtract your first fret position from the nut from the total scale length, then divide by the magic number, 17.817.<br />
<br />
Repeat until you reach the total number of frets you plan to cut. I used Excel to create this sheet and a conversion chart of decimal inches to find the closest fractional inch.<br />

The first fret should be 1-9/32" from the base of the nut slot, the 12th fret should be at 11-1/2", and the 14th fret should be at 12-3/4".....<br />
<br />
Side note: When I checked where the neck meets the body I noticed my drawing was 3/8" off, so I'll have to redraw my plans for my next tenor guitar build.<br />

Once I drew all the lines with a straight edge and 90° square, I made a few photo copies at a local drafting shop and cut out my fret board template.<br />
<br />
Prefab 23" fret board templates can be found at <a href="http://www.stewmac.com/" target="_blank">Stew Mac</a> or <a href="http://www.lmii.com/" target="_blank">LMII</a>, but I chose to do it from scratch so I could, theoretically, reproduce any scale length going forward. <br />

I cut out a little over 2" wide plexiglass and taped my template over the top and used scarp pieces of wood on the top and bottom so I could clamp to my work surface.<br />

I notched the plexiglass with a hack saw and another small scrap piece to line up with my fret line. I tried to line up the saw blade with the middle of my line as close as possible.<br />
<br />
Note: I had to re-cut this template because I cut the middle of the nut line at the top of the fret board instead of using the inner most width of nut line as the end point.<br />
<br />
If I didn't re-cut the nut line to make a new template, I would have been 1/64th off at the 1st fret, then it would've thrown out the spacing and, most likely, the intonation across my entire fret board :(<br />

Using a cross cut jig with a razor blade as my marker, I methodically slotted a couple fret boards using the <a href="http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Fretting_supplies/Saws_and_slots/Fret_Slotting_Table_Saw_Blade.html" target="_blank">Stew Mac fret table saw blade</a>.<br />

As mentioned earlier, this tenor guitar will have a Spanish neck joint to the body. This means that the sides will be tucked into heel slots on the side of the neck where it joins with the body of the guitar.<br />
<br />

These heel slots are cut 12-3/4" from the nut, 90° to the center line of the neck and 11/16" deep. I am left with about a 9/16" of wood in the middle of the neck.<br />
<br />
The truss rod is 7/16" thick, so there isn't much room for error..... This is probably why a different neck joint is used with truss rods....<br />
<br />
<br />

The truss rod will be accessible from the sound hole for future adjustments.<br />
<br />
Since this is a Spanish heel joint, there will be a shelf on the end of this neck block the thickness of the soundboard.<br />
<br />
I will have to rout my truss rod channel deep enough so the soundboard will lay flat to the neck when I attach both of them together. <br />
<br />
This is probably another reason why other neck joints are done with truss rods.<br />

Using a router table and a test piece, I rout a shallow channel to check for depth and alignment.<br />
<br />
I used a 3/8" straight bit to rout the 7/16" wide channel in successive passes till I reached my desired depth. <br />

Now that I have a shelf on my neck I have a gap over the truss rod to cover down the middle of the neck.<br />

Once the heel is roughed out, I epoxied the truss rod into the channel, then glued the scrap piece in to cover the truss rod.<br />
<br />
This should prevent any glue squeeze out that can ruin the truss rod function. <br />

I built 2 tenor guitar necks with the same process as I use for tenor 'ukuleles that have a Spanish Heel joint to the body.<br />
<br />
This is not a typical construction method that I have found online, so I am kinda hoping for the best. The tenor guitar necks will also have a one-way truss rod installed for future neck adjustments.<br />
<br />
*** Note about neck joints....... on steel string instruments, the most common neck joint to the body would be either a dovetail, mortise and tenon or bolt-on attachment. <br />

<br />
The Spanish heel joint is commonly found on classical guitars with nylon strings, hence, my "hoping for the best" result.<br />
<br />
I chose this method because this is the only method I have used in the past.... The third tenor guitar I build will have a dovetail joint. <br />

First, I cut my stock into the following pieces;<br />
1) Main neck<br />
2) 2 Heel blocks that measure in hieght-3"<br />
3) Tail block<br />
4) 2 ears for the headstock<br />

Before the bending starts, I layout all my materials and open the side molding jig so I don't have to rush when I transfer the bent side from one jig to the next.<br />

2) Side Molding Jig<br />
3) Heat Blanket<br />
4) Water Bottle<br />
5) Clamps<br />

<u><b>Steps</b></u><br />
1) Plug in the heat blanket. (wait 5 minutes or so) <br />
2) Spray some water on the blanket to see if it starts to steam.<br />
3) Spray water on both front and back of the side piece you about to bend, then line up waist line to the middle of the waist on the side bending jig.<br />
4) Sandwich the second mesh piece on top of the side piece and the heat blanket on the jig.<br />
5) Turn the waist clamps down slowly.....<br />
6) Once the waist is all the way down, bend the tail end, then head.<br />
*** This is a fickle process that I do not rush or force the side to bend too quickly. The worst sound you can hear is cracking......<br />
7) Once all the clamps are secured, turn off the heat blanket and wait about 5-10 minutes.<br />

This tenor guitar side bending jig is modeled after the Fox Universal Side Bender knock off I use to bend 'ukuleles side.<br />
<br />
First, transfer half the template pattern to 3 sheets of plywood and cut out the pattern outside the line. Then dram a second line underneath, about the thickness of your intended sides.<br />
<br />
I stacked them all together, then used a rasp and files to fine tune to the second line under the main template line <br />
<br />
<br />

Next, glue all pieces together with 2x4's spaced a little over the width of the heat blanket. The heating blanket can be purchased from <a href="http://www.hanalimastore.com/" target="_blank">Hana Lima</a> or <a href="http://www.lmii.com/products/tools-services/bending/heating/heating-blankets" target="_blank">Luthiers Merchantile International</a><br />

Here is my attempt to recreate a side mold jig I used for 'ukulele construction and scaled to a tenor guitar size.<br />
<br />
<br />
Draw template outline and glue end blocks.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6PcJq-SfHAVlysJXCJXzPM0WZifvco1gbFSBSBbx8pH4YwCETjTuTb_Rh4wWsBMAfjIZyFY7Ud-j0QzwaVQ-yJmJrnHPL_FWE_ygRKjNQlVUeBm97kPiTMT0gGoHciYJn24WB4i3HdTPj/s1600/2014-04-26+12.25.14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6PcJq-SfHAVlysJXCJXzPM0WZifvco1gbFSBSBbx8pH4YwCETjTuTb_Rh4wWsBMAfjIZyFY7Ud-j0QzwaVQ-yJmJrnHPL_FWE_ygRKjNQlVUeBm97kPiTMT0gGoHciYJn24WB4i3HdTPj/s1600/2014-04-26+12.25.14.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
Rough out a few 2x4's and lay across pattern to transfer the outline to the blocks. Mark the bottom where the line touches the block, then use a square and draw a line up the side. Lay your template where the lines meet at the top of the block.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmJsDO6YCS0XN2AZYErvzYEKka4HQyDdlhGg5H4hUgruwa2Nh_M_y31ZznDB1RF0Z4W_YsqXzcmWzS1TCY5iCbhDrMmZE-RLEfPIeqhSZDjXor3gkRIPOnCIlsr-apyT73rGaZQP0FQlVh/s1600/2014-04-27+18.38.22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmJsDO6YCS0XN2AZYErvzYEKka4HQyDdlhGg5H4hUgruwa2Nh_M_y31ZznDB1RF0Z4W_YsqXzcmWzS1TCY5iCbhDrMmZE-RLEfPIeqhSZDjXor3gkRIPOnCIlsr-apyT73rGaZQP0FQlVh/s1600/2014-04-27+18.38.22.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
Cut along the line you just transferred with your template and you should have something that looks like the next picture... <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once this cut is roughed out, clean up with a file and rasp so you have 90° edges.<br />

Next step is to add some all thread, washers and nuts to act as spreaders that clamp and expand the sides.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

(Flashback) After taking an 'ukulele building class at the Hana Lima 'Ia School in Honolulu, HI, a buddy of mine asked if I could reproduce his fathers Martin Tenor Guitar. He said it played like a dream and thought, "hey, can you build me one?"<br />
<br />
As a novice builder stoked to try anything I said, "Yeah sure, I can do that, no problem."<br />

Having limited knowledge about materials, tools, time, or intricacies of
building instruments, I took some measurements and started my
journey...<br />
<br />
That was 4 years ago (2010) and I am now in the midst of attempting to reproduce one of the most legendary brands in the history of guitar making with the skills I've picked up after building 8 'ukuleles. Sound, look and feel are subjective, so I'll document this process to better understand my progression in this craft of Luthiere. <br />
<br />
As noted above, the model number is 5-17T</div>

Not going for an exact replica, but this repro is all Philippine Mahogany (not <a href="http://www.wood-database.com/lumber-identification/hardwoods/philippine-mahogany/" target="_blank">true </a>Mohog, but sampling for this demo); top, back, sides, and neck. Second Tenor G, will be made with <a href="http://www.wood-database.com/lumber-identification/hardwoods/african-mahogany/" target="_blank">African Mahogany</a>. Fretboard and bridge will be made of Granadillo and the second TG will be made with <a href="http://www.wood-database.com/lumber-identification/hardwoods/honduran-rosewood/" target="_blank">Honduran Rosewood</a>, and the nut and saddle will be made of bone with buffalo bridge pins.</div>
