Finishing the tenon








I need to remove the rest of the material from the tenon to the 4 degree lines marked. This is where I wish I had a Radial Arm Saw. It would make this part much easier. But I will use my table saw next to complete the 3 long edges and end of the tenon. The 4th edge is where the fret board will set. I start by setting the blade height where I have already used my router to establish the width of the tenon. Then I set the fence at 4 degrees and cleaned up what was left after using the router. This part is done at 4 degrees for the angle of the set neck. Then I use my Compound miter saw for cut to length also at 4 degrees. Then I rounded the corners with my belt sander. Then I used a sharp wood chisel to clean up the inside corners and its done. Now I am waiting on some supplies I ordered from Stew/Mac. Fret board is next.
