Homemade Cookie Tin Banjo, part 3

..
Another little problem I had with the design as given was cutting a rectangular hole thru the side of the tin. Like that author, I don't have a well-equipped machine shop and I envision winding up with a rather irregular edge on the hole, look bad cut fingers make papa-san cuss which is against his religion.

To make a long story short (too late! the people cry) I came up with this idea. I thought maybe there could be a flair on the neck, ie. a wider and deeper place just outside the tin to cover up the edge of the hole.
Looking thru the archives of the Musical Instrument Makers' Forum, I see that someone else had this idea too. So it might not be a bad idea.
