Adding a Carry Handle to the Blackstar I-Beam Amp

[ehdwuld]

dont know why they made this luchbox size rascal without some way to carry it

I'm putting strap buttons on either side to make a handle for it

remove the six screws to lift the controls out of the way

surprised at how little is there compared to a tube amp

all press board , will wanna keep this unit dry for sure

measure down and center it up

make sure it dont hit anything

Nice project. Given that's "sponge-wood", I might back that screw up with a little block of oak, or somesuch. Add a T-nut, or hurricane nut for extra security.
