Hi Gordon,Photo of one under construction.You can see how the top and bottom of the through neck is cut away to allow the back and front to vibrate.The neck is glued to the ends of the box and the back at each end.The top(I'm thinking of copper) of this one will be screwed on.

OMG, small world! I lived for almost 40 years in Arlington, MA. Or, as I like to say, Ahhlington. I've got pictures of yet another "cigar box" I'm working on in that theme. It still motivates me.
On the upper right of the bottom half, you might see the melt marks which caused this to be retired from use as a UPS
