My second ever cab build, almost finished.
Learnt a lot from my first build which meant this build is better than my first. Still not Seamless on the corners and especially going around the corners on the open back (tolex is harder to do than it looks)
Im now considering building a head cab for my 5E3 so it matches and get some more practice at this whole thing.

Someone here posted a really helpful youtube clip where they had some good tips such as using a heat gun to help mold the tolex around corners.
