another cookie tin ???

perhaps I should've worded it right the last time I ask.

what I meant was how best to attached the neck to the tin so as to not have any sharp edges exposed.

my brother in law has ask me if I will make 2 x 3 stringers for his granddaughters.XMas pressies.

also what might be the best strings for this?I was thinking of using the nylon strings off a classical guitar set.would these be loud enough as no piezos will be fitted.

I already have a few 3 steel string set's

the lunch box tins are only small 7" x 5" x 21/4" depth.

any pictures or video's would be nice to.

is the neck going through both ends? may not be needed if you are going nylon strings. nylon might be easier on little hands ..

that writing in the pic looked bigger..oops.
