Re: Fiddleback Maple JMP 2203 headshell
This whole project grew out of an experiment for an LP kit I'm planning to build. And like most things I do quickly got out of hand. Don't know if I'll do a 'burst but definitely a two tone finish.How about after sanding back the black, apply a faded cherry sunburst, like an old Les Paul.

A dremel with a Stewmac plunge router base and a 1/32" tapered bit. Took about an hour.This looks fantastic; I love the color! Did you use a CNC to route the logo?

Re: Fiddleback Maple JMP 2203 headshell
I'm experimenting with what to fill the logo - this is brass powder. It looks better on lighter wood - a bit 'stealthy'.
Brass & epoxy filled, dyed black and sanded back
Scarlet and lacquer
I've waiting on more hues to arrive via Fedex.

Fiddleback Maple JMP 2203 headshell
In an effort to avoid starting a sapele chest of drawer build that the design hasn't quite jelled yet I decided to distract my self with this. I've built 1987/1959, JCM800 & Jubilee cabs but not the 70's JMP2203/4 style cab. Rough cut maple Test fit.jpg I use walnut blocks to simulate the plastic co...

To use what you have add in some wood ripped in an L shape, paint / dye black or an interesting contrast color to the black and [looks like pig skin] leather covering to fill in that 1/4" of an inch. Aluminum would work but harder to color.

Re: Speaker attachment
I'm a bit of a weirdo when it comes to speaker rear mounting non cast frame speakers. I drill a tap sized hole for 8-32 screws [so they'll cut 'threads' into the wood when turned in], counter bore to recess the head 1/8" or so and start the screws into the hole until I've got 1/4" left proud of the ...

Re: my first cabinet build
Looks good and square! What led you to that size?
Here's a great quote from a acoustic guitar building buddy about wood projects - 'Remember it's wood, if it doesn't turn out you can always burn it and deny it ever existed!'

Re: Box joints are kicking my butt-ox
The trick I've found with box or finger joints is the accuracy of the blade width of cut, the width of the key on the jig, a tear out board the exact height of the the cut AND consistent pressure on the jig as I push it through the slots. I drew a big arrow pointing left to remind me to push the jig...
