Guitar Amp Cabinet Building from Scratch DIY 

That was very cool and a great demonstration of what's done. This is something I want to do as a career and make money from. Would love to apply this knowledge to building old combo organ cabinets for people

Man, if this video had only been released when I modded my Frontman 212R to turn it into a head + cabinet last year. Glad to see that I followed roughly the same steps though!

this has given me the inspiration i needed. greatly appreciated!

Another nicely done presentation; you're a real pro. If I might offer a tidbit of unsolicited advice, I'd say that rather than measure everything (nothing wrong with measuring), it simplifies the process to cut a few spacers out of scrap material. For instance, you know you'll need to leave some clearance for fabric for the chassis; masonite leftovers work perfectly for this. As for the spacing of the chassis within the cabinet, if you have some 1/2' plywood bits (Baltic birch comes to mind), a couple of these make it a snap to locate the chassis front and back. I think the slant on those chassis fronts are 25 degrees, but I could be mistaken. For squareness (especially on a larger cab), cut some 3" X 3" squares from 3/4" MDF on your table saw sled so you know they are 90 degrees. Clamp all the corners with smaller clamps using these jigs to guarantee squareness, then add the larger clamps to increase clamping pressure; works like a charm. On the same note, if you find yourself doing several similar cuts, it's worth the effort to make yourself a jig out of 3/4" MDF, and then just route out all the cuts. If you paint the interior surfaces of the cab prior to assembly, you'll save yourself a ton of trouble; there will only be a bit of touch up left to do. Please keep 'em coming...

Great video! Thanks so much for sharing, this is incredibly helpful.

Please, how did you arrive at 11/16 for the roundover radius in this case?

Thank you 🖤🎸

What about shielding with metal paper?

Any way to do this without the very expensive looking bunch of tools?

i love how you do all your stuff. I feel like i have been a apprentice of yours but at a distance lol because i have learned so much from just a few of your videos. i was the one that you sent the amp cradle planes to. i did get it done and i love it it works so good thank you so very much. the one thing that i did on it was made a extra piece the amp sits on i had to make one double the thickness because the amp i did had the power transformer right on the edge of the side. but now i can switch them out if i need to. so now i am making a cabinet for the amp. and i love how all yours look but i couldn't find the size router bit you use for the round over? is it 5/8 i notice some use 5/8 or 1/2 inch? and then some marshals use 1 inch i would love to know what you think is best? The amp head is a JCM 800 clone and i am mounting it on the bottom. thanks again

Do you happen to build custom enclosures?

Nice film! Do you know where to find writings with dimensions for a amp head like yours? Building a Princeton head.

I have a question, are finger joints necessary for head cabinets or just done because they’re traditionally done that way?

really great job dude! Whats the name of tool you use for sand all corners of the wood? 7:32 min

I really love these type of videos BUT, why don’t they ever start with “Step #1: Get yourself about 7-10 thousand dollars worth of woodworking tools and equipment” 🤣

You need a work table. Stop working off the ground for your backs sake 😬 Work looks great though!
