thats my plans br/>

paul said:

i plan to use a rectangle shaped tin, i want the top not to have screws in it. saving the picture on the front. so i should relief cut the neck underneath the top pf the lid,
and screw the neck on from the back of the tin. does that sound right?

this photo doesn't show what I'm talking about at all... but leave space between your soundboard (the surface the strings pass over) and neck

whether you are using the top or bottom of tin as your resonator... leave a gap between it and the neck... relief cut if necessary

With tins I think it's important that you don't remove material you cut an fold it out of the way... "make flanges"
thanks

not necessary Paul no. Long as you cut nice neat slots in the tin.
I learned it from a guy called Naz Nomad, he calls himself some other name now..
