Maybe I can put it on a slowly moving turntable on my speaker cab and show off both sidesLonely Raven wrote: But now the back looks like it should be the front!
I think my wife was actually tickled to see her name all over this amp. She was asking family members this weekend if they had seen the amp I made

Thanks, again, to Jem for the drawer idea

WOW, very cool.
That's a a lot of points there bud
Even if you can't, at least your amp can play "in the round". lol.
BTW, did you double check the spelling before you cut it?

Re: TW amp cabinet source???
Tim,
I plan to build one of these drawer-cabs.
I want to make sure I do this exactly right the first time (otherwise the savings of going this way will be totally lost).
Could I impose upon you to tell me exactly what you ordered? I see the dimensions below, but I am a little confused about what is height, what is width, etc. in this situation. If you have a packing slip or something that shows everything in detail, that would save me the anxiety of possibily getting it wrong.
Thanks,
Steve

I took the TW cab plans from the files and took off 1/8" from all the outside dimensions (5/8" stock instead of 3/4") yielding a 9-3/4H x 8-7/8W x 18-3/8/D drawer. Lay the drawer on its side, and voila, you have a TW cab with half-blind dovetail jointingjem wrote: I ordered a "custom built drawer" ... from woodcraft.comYou have to supply the front (the easy part).
Money: Merchandise Net: $47.60
Shipping Amount: 9.25
Total Amount: $56.85
The cab, er, I mean drawer arrived today. I dry-fitted it, and I need to shave a 128th off my 17-1/8" long faceplate to get a PERFECT fit for a 17x8x2 chassis. I'll radius the edges, but you wouldn't HAVE to. I'll bring the camera home for some pics to add.
Now, this won't be a furniture grade cab like Distortion's, but it is an economical cab alternative.
Thanks to Jem for this GREAT idea

Re: TW amp cabinet source???
Yea, that fantastic guide of your had everything I needed to know in order to order my drawer - thanks so much.
One quetion which wasn't clear to me - regarding the photos I see in the guide - was the wood stained at all, or is that JUST poly?
Thanks,
