My first instruction (from Johns sheets) is to pull out the lining of the cigar box - simply 4 strips of soft wood that help the seal when the lid is shut - they pull out easily, and then its onto some sawing and sanding
Firstly shape and fit the block of wood that will become the 'meat' that the neck will fit to. Followed by the corner posts that will provide a bit of rigidity to the relatively flimsy box.
All sounds simple so far. Sad to say that just this bit took me nearly 2 hours! In my defense, i did have to bugger about making a sawing and sanding block and unblocking my glue bottle - but hopefully, now done i wont have to do it again.
On the subject of GLUE. The symposium agreed that straight forward PVA wood adhesive is quite suffice for this job.
