Made an error on the fretboard of this long necked tenor and had to replace it.
Picture
But first I had to get the old one off.  Got it done with the aid of a very sharp spokeshave and lots of time and cussing.  the final touches with a scraper.  Now to calculate fret locations for a 16 inch scale.
Picture
Takes a little calculating.  You divide the length from fret to saddle by 17.817 again and again to get the distance between each fret.
Picture
Picture
the calculations were marked on a piece of stiff paper and taped to the fretboard.  The marks were lined up carefully with the saw slot and then run through the saw.  I was pleased with the result.

Here is the new fretboard sitting on its uke.  It is yet to be radiused and then will be attached.

Meanwhile Rick is sawing out a neck for another Concert we are building

And Debbie's tenor is boxed, trimmed and about to get it's binding grooves cut.

All Done.  The bindings go on tomorrow
