    The neck is relatively easy.  Notch the box to receive the neck.  use wood screws to secure the neck.  On a few of my projects, I added material under the neck, then drilled two pilot holes through the backside of the instrument so the neck could be secured to the box with screws. Just remember to leave 1/16" space between the top df the neck and the underside of the box, to allow the top of the box to vibrate.

  • notch  out the neck slots ,   cut an access hole  in  the  back  ,   glue the  top in.  make  cover  plate  for    back  . 

    or  -  use  the back   as  the  top  , and  the   sliding door as  an access  .
