Keep checking the fit, and mark with a pencil the places to grind down a little. The face on the inside part was made nearly a perfect cylinder the exact same radius as the tin, so just match that.
Along with the 1 degree down angle, check to get it straight - dont want it to angle left or right altho who would really care. This ain't no professional virtuoso banjo but just something thrown together.
I milled a little rabbet into the end to accomodate the seam around the top of the cookie tin.
And as you can see, it came out very close to perfect. The neck might have been positioned a little higher, the rim sticks up just slightly above the neck.
There could be a jig that would hold this and allow it to be carved around a radius, similar to the way the inside part was carved. This method here seems easy enough for quantity one._____________________
