Title: A few 18watters Post by: ChrisL on November 02, 2007, 06:01:07 AM A couple of experimental non standard built cabs. I love the komet amp cabs with the cab string on the edges so I decided to try it. Word of advice.. Don't do this with vinyl. Tolex is like working with crepe paper after a bout of vinyl....lol.

Do you build head cabs for other people? Title: Re: A few 18watters Post by: Kitarist on November 02, 2007, 10:55:44 PM I'm also interested ;)
Title: Re: A few 18watters Post by: ChrisL on November 04, 2007, 09:51:42 AM Hi guys,
Yes, all the cabs I've been building lately are for others. No time for building my own nice gear... >:( ;D Here is the complete unit.

how do you do those piping channels on the corners? Title: Re: A few 18watters Post by: Roffe on November 04, 2007, 10:01:13 PM Ahh beautiful cabs! Do they sound as good as they look?
Title: Re: A few 18watters Post by: ChrisL on November 05, 2007, 01:22:11 AM nice work! how do you do those piping channels on the corners? If you have a full size cabinet saw it's as simple as setting your blade to 45 degrees with a sacrificial straight edge attached to your fence. BUT, I only have a contractors saw and when the blade is set to 45 degrees the blade extends too far out even at it's lowest depth of cut. So, I had to make a jig that slides along and over the fence and holds the cab at a 45 degree angle to a 90 degree blade. It works pretty well actually. I am currently thinking of designs for a jig that I can use a router (hand held) to cut the kerfs. If there are any jig design genious' please help me out.

Title: Re: A few 18watters Post by: Timd on November 19, 2007, 01:52:33 AM Thanks guys. Nik said my Overtone is on it's way....a "special" cab build is in order. You'll have to give us a detailed report on the Overtone after you get it. I was too late in getting my order in and will have to be content with nervously bitting my finger nails until next year to see if anymore will become available. :'( |
