Finally finished my first cab!

I retro rodded a little amp and re-housed it. Learned a ton on this. I can see myself doing more of this. Thank you all for your help!

I dig the cool cab, knobs and back cutout.

I wonder effect that back cutout has. :)

I don't know, I just came up with that shape so you could see the tubes and flipped the top on a whim after I had them cut out, lol. I just tried to leave about as much open space as the cobbled together cabinet had that i was using. It sounded pretty sweet. I'll be playing it tonight.

Whatever you think you might have done wrong, it doesn't show. So, A+ for both quality of workmanship and design. Give yourself all the credit you deserve. Really, quite a fine outcome.

Fun cut on the back - well done. What did you use for the adhesive?
