The tenon saw is a type of hand saw; however, it is much more accurate than other hand saws available, and the teeth are finer as well. The finer teeth create a more accurate cut and smoother edges.

Workbench

You will use a workbench for your work space, as well as a place to clamp pieces of the guitar as you are working on them. You need a large flat space to take measurements and make wood cuts.
Plunging Router

You will not use the plunging router very much, but you will need it to make the opening of the guitar as well as create other parts of the guitar. The plunging router also makes detailed edges and cuts around the body of the guitar.
1/2-inch Chisel

You will use the 1/2-inch chisel for trimming parts of the wood and to get into smaller areas where the larger tools could chip or split the guitar pieces.
