It's been almost 4 years and 2 moves since my last build. I have a stick, a box and the various bits and pieces to complete a 3 or 4 string CBG. Sadly, my shop is no more. I have a miter saw and an electric hand drill. What do you think the minimum kit would be needed to complete this first build?
I will take your suggestions as a challenge and post a build log.
thanks for your responses in advance.

Sam that is about all I have ever used, also some files maybe. It is possible to build from this simple place
You haven't lost your touch Sam, looks great!
Done. Good basic slide CBG, position markers on top of neck, purple heart fretboard, corian nut and polyurethane semigloss on wood.
fun 1st swing after 4 years off.
Very artsy looking Sam!! Definitely a winner!!!
Day 5.. almost done. just need to set a cut nut and buy strings.
End of day 4. I'm screwing neck to blocks internally for now as I plan to upgrade this CBG later, requiring neck removal. Also finished paint design on headstock to mirror box design.
Using tape to locate tuner positions
Looks like a winner!
