Measure the distance from the nut to the bridge and divide it by 2.
That is the point of your octave fret.
multiply that distance by the twelfth root of 2 (1.0594630945929)
and that is the distance from the bridge to the next fret.

Do the same with the distance from that fret and keep going until you reach the nut.
