More DIY - Cab this time

[Rossc0]

So 3 and a bit guitars and a guitar stand into this DIY thing its starting to take hold. Next Project is a DIY Cab.

At some point I'm going to get myself a small Valve Head, DSL1, Vox or Blackstar probably, only ever muck around at home and its normally so bad I really don't need anyone hearing it.

In prep for that I'm going to attempt to build a 1 x 12 cab, based on the dimensions of a Marshall MX112. Got my big green shed shopping list sorted for the weekend, and think I've decided on a Celestion Vintage 30, would like a blue but can't justify the price.

As I go, if it doesn't turn into a dogs breakfast I'll put a few pics up here.

Cool! I’m super keen to follow this; I’d love to build my own too

I made a 1x12 open back and used a Celstion Green back in it. I've run my beheaded Vox VT20X, an Orange Micro Terror and my Egnator Rebel 20 into it , all sounded good to my untrained ears. Also made a huge 1x12 closed back with a Jensen Falcon in it. It has little more bass and mids in it

@ Rossc0 Have you checked out my Valve Amp Head thread?, it's a diy Soldano SLO50 50 Watt amp head build project that I'm going to be working on this year.

[Rossc0]

Hi Doc, yes I have. Only a cab this time, might get round to a head later if I feel brave.

[Rossc0]

Big Green Shed shopping done.

Cool! you'll have to let me know how that Ozito router goes - I had a friend was thinking of getting one

[Rossc0]

I've had some ozito tools for a dozen years and there still going strong. My Hammer drill ended up sitting in a bucket of water for ages(Don't ask), dried it out and it still works like a charm.

[JohnH]

Yeah, I think they're under-rated. The Ozito tools I have have all been great - my little cordless drill gets used literally every week, and has done for years. Didn't want to recommend the router without having tried it though

[DrNomis_44]

I've got an Ozito cordless drill, and it does the job for me, lost count of the number of times I've used it, one thing though is I really should buy a few more rechargeable batteries for it so that as one goes flat I can swap it out for a fully-charged one and then put the flat one in the charger to charge-up overnight, nothing is worse than working on something and you've got that one last hole to drill and the battery pooches-out on you, forcing you to wait 24 hours while the battery re-charges.
