Sounds like they are going to be sweet!

Let me know if I can help with anything.

I am jammed with work at the moment, and I am waiting on a parts order to finish up the 2x12s. However, I still have one more 4x12 Marshall, and a pedal board to finish.

Re: Finally getting around to finishing up some more cabs

Ok, I really want to stress that I have no idea what I am doing here, and am making this **** up as I go along.

I know how to make a proper cab, but making look "correct" is the hard part.

I wanted a fixed speaker baffle, and needed to create a frame for the grill cloth. I marked out the openings, and used a Forstner bit for the corners.



Connect the dots, and add paint. I am going to use the old grill cloth from my '73 cab.



Logo added, and you can see where I cut the handle holes, I decided to recess them to be flush with the tolex. This is nothing more than a cool touch, no real purpose.



I doubt I will get much more done before Christmas, but the next time I add pics, it will be finished.

Another fine job Ayrton!!

I think 2X12's are underestimated often, I bet this one can dish out some serious tones for sure!

Another congratz on a fine job man!

Re: Finally getting around to finishing up some more cabs

I could not decide if I wanted a sealed or open cab, so at the last minute I did both.
