Eh? Wot? Run-on sentences are hard to read. SLOW DOWN!
What did you buy? A lens, a camera, both?
If the lens is a 101/4.5 the camera had better be a 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 'cos the 101 is normal for 2x3 (shorthand for 2 1/4 x 3 1/4), won't cover 3x4.
To learn what "cover" means, go here
http://www.largeformatphotography.info/ and read nearly everything.
To learn more about Graphics in particular, go here
http://www.graflex.org/speed-graphic/ and read everything.
Making boards for Anniversary and older Graphics isn't that hard, they're wooden. Making boards for Pacemaker Graphics isn't easy, they're metal, have thin lips that got into the light trap.
If you want a Tachi just get one, Graphics aren't good substitutes.
After you've calmed down, come back and ask y'r question more clearly. If you know what you have, one of us will look in the bible (Graphic Graflex Photography, there are many editions) and tell you what size board your camera takes. But on the whole if you know what size your camera is you'll probably be better off buying than making.
