Looks sharp.

At least you got some practice on an easier style head box, rather than something far more complicated.

Funny to see this; in another thread I was remembering my first job when I was thirteen, in a repair shop.

Tolexing amps and cabinets was the fist thing I've learned to do.

I started in march 1971... oh, the memories! :cool2:

The hard part was stripping off the crappy old tolex.

It wouldn't come off in one piece without ripping, so i cut it all into 1" strips and pulled it off by hand.

You and me both. I'd re-tolex the crap out of everything if I could. It looks so cool.

It really is easy. All you need is spray adhesive and a sharp razor blade.

There's a good tutorial on youtube.
