I got mixed up, on post #78, the box like contraption is clamped to the neck to keep the neck straight and flat. At the same time 1/4" bolts, mounted inside the box on T-nuts, can be tightened down, to clamp the carbon fiber and wood filler, into the routed groove.

So basically, its a contraption to glue in the carbon fiber rod, maple filler, and, keep the neck straight all at the same time.
