You are a very good teacher!!!  I have come up with a Dulcistick that costs about $3 to build.  I haven't got any groups to build it yet, but I am working on it.  It's 25 inch Scale Length.  I stole a few things from CB Gitty with my proto type.  HD has 8ft X 3/4 X 1 1/2 inch pine strips for 98 cents each, that if you look through a hundred or two, you can get a few nice strips that make 3 necks from each strip.  I cut the neck width to the tuner machine shaft length, about 1 1/4 inch wide, run it through the router to round off the edge.  I also but the G strings in packs of 12.  The frets are made out of plastic sandwich picks, glued on with superglue, cut and sanded off.  I can't play much, but I can build.
