I am really glad that I got that dovetail template. I used no fasteners to put these cabinets together, and only used Elmer's carpenters glue.
If you are looking for amp porn, you will have to read an earlier post. This is the most I will give you.
In case you think the Sears Tower and Mr. French mean anything - they don't. Think of it as a postmodern flair. I did it because I can.
A few hours ago, this was just a sheet of expanded metal and an length of aluminum angle-bar. Fabrication is something that I have never done in my previous lives. I think I would have enjoyed it. I loved building custom plenum for a plumbing and heating company I worked for.
I think that's why I like those shows where they build motorcycles from scratch. I don't want to build motorcycles - I just want to play with the fabrication tools.
I am not proud of the jack plate on the speaker cabinet. It is the only thing that did not arrive before I started building (Musicians Friend!)
The speaker cabinet is a 2x10, and the switch below gives me all options (just A, just B, both in series, both parallel). I was going to put that cool looking metal jack plate in, using a nibbling tool to make room for the switch. Right now it is a horrid plastic deal from the shack. Here's the wiring diagram in case you missed that before.
This is a lot more satisfying than finishing the upstairs hallway and starting on remodeling the master bedroom. I think I can start those things now that I got this out of my system.
Oh yeah, it sounds great too.
