Using a wooden box for the body? Why not use aluminum angle for the bridge? Screw it thru the box top and into the aluminum tube.......

If you have to glue, rough up the surface and use JB Weld...

Easy: cut a piece off of your aluminum square tube. Stack it atop your aluminum tube where the bridge would go.

Get another coupla lengths of aluminum square tubing. Make an elongated rectangular tubing frame, using the hardware L brackets you have. You'll need some self-tapping metal screws. Attach your neck to it using these. Since you're just making a diddley bow, one of those brackets theatre curved or square in the middle can be screwed into your neck as a bridge. You have most of the parts already.

While you're at it, why not just turn it into a diddley canjo? I bet you have beer, soda, paint or other cans or tins in Estonia...
