and an old desk drawer pull for the bridge

Looks good. I think that you could call it a weissenborn given the hollow body. What is the distance between the E strings at the nut and at the saddle? I have photos of my lap steel on my page. It is my favourite instrument. I also meant to ask what the trapeze was off.
