Help, dimensions needed for neck length on Deering short scale

Hi,
I'm making a banjo from scratch. It's going to be a short scale 17 fret. I particularly liked the size and scale of the deering goodtime I used to own. Can anybody help me with neck length size, nut to pot? I can work out the scale, fret intervals later.

Thanks
Nick

I assume you have looked at pages like this:

Let us know how you got on, where you source components, etc.
I'd be curious to try a 5-string sometime myself.
PS it don't say, on your biog, where the h*ll you are - a minimum of geographical information, without giving precise identity, is always useful.
