Just want to share my first attempt at building my own guitar cabinet
I used 3/4” inch solid pine
I wanted to try dovetail joints as well which is also a first for me so sharpening my chisels is a must
Most joints are quite well done but on the inside there are some gaps
I cut the bracing for the baffle and back from the left over pine board
The baffle board is made out of 3/4” particle board which came from a broken closet I picked up from trash a few months back
Painted the baffle board black
I thought I’d experiment with wood stain and some form of finish but was too lazy to research so instead I used some leftover tolex from a previous flightcase build
My spade bit wasnt big enough to accomodate the jack plate so I filed the hole with some needle files
Installed the Celestion Eight 15
I forgot to take a pic of how I installed the grill cloth but I used a stapler
Installed the handle and metal corner guards
I dont have a soundclip yet but I use this mainly with my Orange MT for bedroom practice. It is very dark sounding to my ears and I have to turn the tone knob on my amp to max level to get the sound that I like. I play strats btw. I wonder if it is the closed back that causes more bass projection and less scattered sound or it is in the nature of small speakers like this, let me know below
Lastly, this was inspired by Sir Chino’s builds and thank you sir for answering some of my questions along the way.
It was fun trying this out as a preparation for my next cab build, a 1x12 cab with Eminence speaker.
I will also share my travel ukulele build soon, still working on it now.
Peace and rock on!
