good link Rog, exactly how I do it. Though I don't make my own piping, lifes too short for that... I do use electrical wire for beading and got some great speaker wire that looks mint, not quite Marshall gold but definitely looks the part.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

"There ain't half been some clever bastards".

Any plans for a 8x10 bass stack?

I've never done an 8x10 before, but a few years ago I did make a 2x15 ported bass cab out of MDF, jesus that was heavy. Lovely ratfur covering too ;)
