It's always cool to see a pro work on these things 8) Can't wait to see your end results.

BTW even though the lines don't exactly match, that's a nice skinny cab.

Thanks mate,
I really want to get this right. Usually I jump straight in an just go but I love the shape of this cab so I am taking my time. I am glad I have because I have found out that the kickplates are only 584mm wide (not including the sides) and I usually build my cabs @ 600mm.

The skinnys are cool. I wasn't sure on that colour scheme but it really shines in the flesh.

I lurve the CP:



Thanks again  :cheers:

yo spacies, that looks really clean!

i have this woodworker helping me out but i'm kinda worried the side panels won't be identical or tight. he also told me a template would do the trick but i was still sceptical.

so you cut each panel seperately from the template?
or two in one go, like layer them first?

thanks.

Thank you for being an inspiration ;D

BTW The RAZR is a nice phone, but pictures taken with a real camera would do your creation more justice  :P

Cheers.
Use a template. Cut each panel separately using the template as a guide. They will come out as close as you will get without CNC. The good thing about MDF is that a thinner piece shapes up really easily with some sandpaper. I usually seal the edges of my templates to avoid them going soft and stopping the bearing on the router from making a line after repetitive usage.

Ha ha ha, good spotting again. I hate that darn phone. It is sooo slooowwww with all the pics on the mem card. You know, its too easy to pull it out of your pocket and take a pic rather that trash the good camera. My lady gets a bit uptight if I get glue and paint on the good one :p

I don't know if I will do a PA on this build.
I might just post a finished pic when its done. BTW I am building 2.

I am still totally stunned there are no correct plans for what is one of the most recognized cabs out there!  :dizzy:
