Martin, this is a coffin case, often the side is not set in for the neck, but continues the line up to the head so that they look even more like a coffin. I've made a few for my Torres style guitars, if you can make a uke you can certainly make a coffin case. They were the traditional instrument case until the 20th century.

Great thread Martin, and you have an instrument to be proud of!
That looks a lovely little workshop up there in Glasgow.
