The Gold Mine
whammoed:
Hmmmm, marquee area seems skinny. Will there be room for the marquee light and speakers? The rest of the cab is so fat (or should i say phat?) that maybe it just looks skinny in comparison. I would prefer it to be wider in keeping with the flow of the rest of the cabinet. Just some constructive crtiticism and usually from an art or design standpoint I am wrong so take it with a grain of salt. I still think it looks awsome, keep it up!
Edit...actually it is starting to grow on me already.
KrawDaddy:
Hey
The marquee area is 8in deep. Should be plenty of room for a light. I tried a thicker design but it took away from the shoulder like look. I think the first picture is a more acurate view.
Tilzs:
How did you mark out and cut the hole for the monitor so perfect? From experience it's I know it's not an easy task.
Zakk:
One thought, this looks like a lowboy, so you must have to sit while playing. Is there space enough for your knees, or would you have to sit side saddle to play?
KrawDaddy:
-the control panel is a standard height. Its very comfortable standing in front of. Plenty of toe space!
-I start by drilling a hole in the center of the wood, then I made a jig and bolted it to the center of the wood and routered out the wheel. Then I drew two perpendicular lines across the bolt hole and worked my way out. I divided the monitor in quarters for measurments.
