One must have matching cabs!!!

I wanted to build a headshell like the four hole Marshalls we all know and slobber over. Maybe someday I'll own one. I made the shell 24" so it would fit on most of my existing speaker cabs.

5/8" sides, 3/4" round overs - non standard handle, all piping to be maple.

Aside from the boooorrrrriiiiiiinnnnnngggggg [boring] experience of milling down the 7/8" to 5/8" with a drum sander [No easy access to a planer wide enough] this was an easy cab to build. No extra bits of round over wood for the 1" rounds on the speaker cab or baffle stuff.

Maple piping, FTW. WOW Again, sir.

Fan-freakin'-tastic!

Cut the piping last night [still have all of my fingers]. Cut the grooves in tonight and fit the piping. The piping is just press fit - there are some scratches from the table saw that may get addressed.

Wow...stunning! Congrats on still having all 10 fingers!

Ooooooooooooh! That's pretty.

Beautiful job!

The maple looks great!

Beautiful maple piping.

Astonishing job Russ. Let me know about your 212 cab, it seems deeper than a regular 1936, isn't it?

Hi Deeder,

The 1936 depth changed throughout the years - I've seen where they started in the 9" range and moved out to the 12" - which is what I used as I put a 4210 JCM 800 into a head and it is close to 11" wide due to the chassis depth.
