And another one.... 2x12 18mm Ply

Post by Bg »

My interpretation of a mesa 2x12. 18mm plywood throughout. Finger jointed corners (pain in the arse). Dado joints on baffle frame and the front of the cab. 8 hole cutouts for speakers. Fixed back panel at top, middle and bottom removable.

The guy wants to tolex himself. Shame, would loved to have done this one :D

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

somehow missed that last pic. I glued rebate pieces to the top and bottom panels so when the middle panel is in position, it is fully closed - not relying on tolex alone to seal it.

Yep. Every one you've posted looks mint. I have no need for a cab but these pictures make me want one. Well done again.

Are you retired from your IT job?
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Only at weekends :) This one's been on the go for awhile, only just got around to finishing it.

I have another down on the bench though, pics later :D

Very nice work, man! So the baffle is screwed to the front frame, rather than bolted?
