STORY BY REGGIE BEEHNER PHOTOS BY ESTILL ROBINSON
T
he list of things Pete Mendel has crafted from wood is extensive: kitchen cabinets, office furniture, patio stairs, rocking chairs and even an intricately curved bathroom vanity. But a few years ago, he took up a new woodworking challenge, one that had captured his imagination as a teen and stayed with him throughout his life: guitars.
NO STRINGS ATTACHED
He waded in cautiously, assembling a few Les Paul guitars from kits and gifting them to his sons. Then he refurbished an old acoustic guitar that had lost its shape and been left for dead. With a few projects under his belt and his confidence rising, Mendel set his sights on making some instruments from scratch: a series of homemade ukuleles, which allowed him to experiment with different kinds of wood and deepen his understanding of the luthier trade.
Retired industrial designer turns over a new leaf as a “basement luthier”
IBM retiree Pete Mendel started making guitars in his basement in his Lexington neighborhood a few years ago. He was recently selected to become a member of the Kentucky Guild for Artists and Craftsmen for his high-quality work. PHOTOS BY ESTILL ROBINSON
“Honestly, I figured I was going to mess them up,” said Mendel, 64, a former industrial designer for Lexmark and IBM. “But I didn’t, and they turned out really, really well.” And just like that, Mendel’s retirement plans faded, replaced by a new idea: He would start his own handcrafted guitar company. That company, Mendel Guitars, is still in its infancy. Mendel is the company’s only employee, and his factory is his basement woodshop. Aside from the ukuleles, his product line consists of five acoustic guitars that are still months away from being stringed and ready to play.

For his instruments, Mendel uses a variety of woods: mahogany, rosewood, spruce, cedar, maple and a host of other exotics. PHOTOS BY PETE MENDEL
But that’s OK for Mendel, who said that by the time he finally gets around to selling his first instruments, he’d be lucky to clear even minimum wage given the countless hours he’s invested. Recently selected to become a member of the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen for his highly detailed luthier work, Mendel is more interested in the non-monetary rewards that come with the work, anyway. “I’m not going to become wealthy doing this,” he said with a laugh. “But I’m having a blast.” Mendel, who grew up in Cincinnati, said he’s been building things ever since he was a boy. His father was an architect and a “pretty handy guy,” and Mendel found himself taking scraps of wood from his dad’s bin to build furniture and whatever else inspired him. His first stab at a homemade guitar – a 12-string, which he began when he was teenager – took a few years to fully assemble. He finished it while he was studying industrial design at the University of Cincinnati. “It was kind of a failure,” Mendel said. “But this was all before the internet. So, for the time, it was pretty amazing that I got it done, and that it came out at all.” In college, he worked closely with a few professors, one who made furniture and another who made harpsichords. The pair helped him develop as a craftsman. After graduation, Mendel took a job with IBM in Minnesota in the late 1970s, designing computer and typewriter components, and ultimately transferred with the company to Lexington. Whenever he and his wife, a graphic designer, wanted something for the house but couldn’t find exactly what they were after, Mendel retreated to his basement shop to make it himself. He built a suite of office furniture, rocking chairs for his sons and an assortment of other things along the way.

Instruments, however, are “a whole different animal,” Mendel, a lifelong guitarist who has played in a handful of different coffeehouse and church bands, acknowledges. Over the years, Mendel became friends with a few Lexington guitarists who likewise were gifted luthiers: Lee Toliver, Rhea Umberger and Duffy Robertson. Under their tutelage, he rekindled his interest in instrument building, and he credits them for much of his knowledge about the craft. These days, he usually spends 40 hours or more each week in his shop working on his instruments. It’s a process, he says, that begins – and ends – with the wood. “The wood really is everything,” Mendel said. “It’s the speaker. Building an instrument is all about sound and sound transmission.” For his instruments, he draws from a variety of woods – mahogany, rosewood, spruce, cedar, maple and a host of other exotics – and is always searching for those that are “quarter-sawn,” with the grain running perpendicular to the cut. This particular cut increases the wood’s strength and also, unfortunately, its cost. A one-inch board of the highest quality can easily run a few hundred dollars or more, Mendel said.
Mendel spends an average of 40 hours a week in his workshop, building new guitars and ukuleles and restoring vintage beauties. PHOTO BY ESTILL ROBINSON
From there, the delicate craftsmanship begins. He cuts a board into several thinner pieces, which are further split into mirrored pieces (called “bookmatching”) for the guitar’s front and back. To shape the wood, he softens it by boiling it in a kettle over a turkey fryer. Then he wraps the wood in dampened kraft paper and bends it around a hot iron, getting the rudimentary shape he’s after. Finally, to preserve the wood’s curves, he clamps the pieces into molds to dry. “A lot of this I’ve learned through trial and error,” he said. Mendel also cuts his own fretboards and fashions his own saddles and nuts (from cow bone) to ensure the best intonation and resonation possible. “It can’t just look good,” Mendel said. “It also must sound good and play right.” Then comes his least favorite part: endless rounds of sanding. “I do hate all the sanding,” he said. “But that’s something you have to do a lot of.” Finally, he finishes with eight coats
of lacquer before the final sanding and buffing process, which gives the instrument its translucent sheen. Still, all the painstaking hours are worth it once the instrument is stringed and tuned for that first play, he said. “That’s the best part, when it finally comes to life,” Mendel said. “And until then, you don’t really know if it’s good or not.” The feedback Mendel’s received from his luthier friends, he said, has been encouraging. His instruments not only play easily, they also sound great, he said. Now, he said, the next step is to figure out how to market his new business. He hopes to soon be able to sell his instruments directly through his website, mendelguitars.com, and maybe through the site reverb.com, which is a sort of eBay for instruments. But he adds that he’s in no hurry to make a name for himself right away. “I’m enjoying my free time and my freedom,” he said. “But then again, this is what I love doing. I don’t really look at it as a job.” ss

Ralph Eugene Meatyard: Stages for Being. Sept. 8-Dec. 9. Lexington photographer Ralph Eugene Meatyard (1925-1972) made his living as an optician while creating enigmatic photographs of friends and family members posed in abandoned places, often wearing masks or enacting symbolic gestures. The exhibit features latex masks, bought at a local Woolworth’s in the late 1950s, combined with dolls and other suggestive objects to become the props that helped animate the artist’s most notorious works. Downstage from Meatyard. Sept. 8-Dec. 9. This exhibition brings together a range of artists whose works can be linked to the photographs of Ralph Eugene Meatyard by way of his working methods and the psychological and poetic nature of his images. Among these are the collaborative aspect of using family members and friends as models or “actors”; seeking out and utilizing architectural and natural settings for their stage-like potential; and his distinct combination of reality and dream-like and surreal conditions. Ralph Steadman Retrospective. Feb. 16-May 5, 2019.

This annual celebration of international cinema classics and contemporary films is curated by local bookstore SQecial Media. “La Notte.” Sept. 12. Isolation is a popular contemporary topic, and director Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1961 film about longing for connection is possibly more relevant now than at the time of its release. Starring Jeanne Moreau, Marcello Mastroianni and Antonioni’s muse, Monica Vitti, this film takes place over the course of a day and night in Milan, Italy, filled with jazz, smoldering encounters, disillusionment and modern architecture. “The Double Life of Veronique.” Sept. 19. Where “La Notte” presents a desperate search for connection, Krzysztof Kieślowski’s “The Double Life of Véronique” (1991) seems to suggest that connection is everywhere. Two women, Weronika and Véronique (both played by the incredible Irène Jacob), unknown to each other, lead a very literal double life, with a nod to the collective unconscious. “Ida.” Sept. 26. A young nun and her aunt (Agata Trzebokowska and Agneta Kulesza) set out to unravel a family mystery in 1960s Poland in the aftermath of World War II. While made in 2013, director Paweł’s film – filmed in black-and-white in now uncommon 4:3 aspect ratio – feels like a long-lost classic of Polish new wave cinema.

Bourbon & Brie
RECIPE AND PHOTO BY THERESA STANLEY
This recipe checks all the entertaining boxes, elevating the party staple “warm brie” by folding in bourbon – just in time for National Bourbon Heritage Month. Headed to a University of Kentucky game to tailgate? Make this winner on-site by placing a cast iron skillet on the grill. (Remember to use a thick oven mitt and towels when serving in cast iron; it holds heat — perfect for keeping the bourbon and brie warm for serving guests.) Ingredients • 1 lb.(ish) double creme brie cheese wheel • 1 ½ cups packed light-brown sugar • ¾ cup bourbon • 1 cup chopped walnuts • Accoutrements of choice – sliced apples, pears, crackers, crostini, etc. Method Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine brown sugar and bourbon in a small bowl, stir and set aside. Cut the white rind off the top of brie. Place wheel in cast iron skillet or a dish that can also be used for serving. Pour bourbon and brown sugar mixture on top of cheese. Sprinkle walnuts over top. Place dish in oven and heat cheese five to seven minutes, until brie starts to ooze (but not melt) and sauce is bubbly. Serve immediately with accoutrements. ss

The Say Goodbye to Summer
Sage Cocktail
RECIPE AND PHOTO BY THERESA STANLEY
Fall is slowly approaching, and this aptly titled cocktail is a great way to smooth the transition. This complex thirst quencher pairs bourbon with freshly squeezed lemon juice, sage accents and egg white to provide the perfect drink to have in-hand while sitting on your porch, watching the sun set on summer. Pro tip: Use the better bourbon on this cocktail; save the younger bourbon for cooked applications. Recipe makes one great cocktail. Ingredients • 2 oz. bourbon • 2 oz. lemon juice, fresh squeezed • 1 egg, whites only • ½ oz. sage simple syrup • 2 dashes, bitters • 1 sage leaf, garnish Method Place champagne coupe in freezer to chill – a cold glass and a good shake are essential to holding the lovely froth while sipping on this drink. In a shaker, add egg whites. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Add ice to shaker until three-quarters full. Add bourbon, lemon juice, syrup and bitters. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Pour through shaker strainer into chilled champagne coupe. To add another layer of depth, garnish the cocktail with a singed sage leaf and place on top of cocktail. Sage Simple Syrup • 1 cup raw sugar • 1 cup water • 6 sage leaves, coarsely chopped • 2 tablespoons ginger, coarsely chopped Combine ingredients in small saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to low and simmer for two minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Strain into an airtight glass container.

Studio Players: “Ripcord.” Sept. 13-16, 21-23, & 28-30. A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so when the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with the annoyingly cheerful Marilyn, she has no choice but to devise a plan to get Marilyn to leave. A seemingly harmless bet between the women quickly escalates into a wacky game of one-upmanship. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and show begins at 8 p.m. Thurs.-Sat.; doors open at 2 p.m. and show begins at 2:30 p.m. on Sundays. Carriage House Theater, 154 W. Bell Court. www. studioplayers.org (859) 225-0370 Everything is Terrible: The Great Satan. Sept. 10. Over the past decade, this collective has claimed to reinterpret our shared memory through creating thousands of web videos from found footage and harboring a particular obsession with collecting “Jerry Maguire” VHS tapes. The crew takes their show on the road with this performance art, recontextualizing more than 2,000 “Satanic panic, religious kook and D-horror VHS tapes” to create a narrative feature that reminds us all “who we are, why we are here and what we should be doing with our paltry time on this dumb planet.“ 7 p.m. 21c Museum Hotel, 167 W.

Sept. 20. This live music series taking place at the Kentucky Castle is presented by the folks behind the Troubadour Concert Series. Primarily known for his song “Harlan,” roots and bluegrass musician Darrell Scott became one of the more successful country songwriters of the late ’90s and early 2000s, placing songs with the biggest names in country music, including Garth Brooks, the Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and many others.

Singer/songwriter and Kentucky native Dwight Yoakam has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide, been nominated for 21 Grammy Awards and won several of those; but his fans love him for his downhome, laid-back “urban cowboy” vibe and for his hip breed of country music that is as at home in punk clubs as it is in honky tonks. 7:30 p.m. EKU Center for the Arts, 1 Hall Drive, Richmond. www.ekucenter.com (859) 622-7294
