Looking good, my friend! We've GOT to find some decent chickenheads for that amp!!!

Looks real good!

Is that an accent sw in addition to the presece control?

[Normster]

Yes, it's an accent switch, but the presense control is actually a reverb in disguise.

[fabiomayo]

Ahhhh...

Ok! Just like your layouts then... Got really confused for a moment

Anyway, the cab looks great.

[Bob-I]

Very nice.

Norm, try the Mojo ones. I buy from CE dist and on that chassis the CE knobs hit one another.

Very nice cab.

They have tons of knobs really cheep, but they ship from Hong Kong so it takes a few weeks. These knobs are 19.5mm and $3.99 for 12.

Based on his dimensions (1.238") they may interfere with each other.

I just measured the ones that work and the ones that don't.

Ones that work = 1.2" (from Mojotone)
One that dont = 1.255" (my stock from CE Dist)

Gary,

The Mojo tone part number is, Mojo Item #7230001. I don't have any of these in my shop. Can you check yours to see this the same as the Dakaware 2300? (marked on the bottom) thanks for checking

1.2" is about 30mm...

Thanks for the kudos, guys! I am happy with how it came out. The additional "curves" on @umble cabs are tricky, but they look ok. This was my first time using piping and I need more practice with keeping it straight.

I did order some chicken heads this morning. They are supposed to be about 1" across. We'll see.

Next up, Normster's Klone.....or maybe a 2X12 cab he wants.

I did one cabinet with the recesses. A good heat gun really helps. I bet the wifes curling iron would also do pretty good. Especially one of those BIG ones.

Try to find 1/8" piping, it is very easy to work with. I find that I pull out 1 staple for every 5 I install to keep it going straight.

Here is another little trick. I normally start in the center of a long side. If I am using a solid piping, I will install a toothpick in the end of the piping so that I can join the two ends. Cut the piping at a 45 degree angle and you have a seem that is prettty tough to see at a casual glance.

Nice work.

Thanks Gary!! I will use your tips with the next build.
BTW, Greg is my brother-in-law, so I had the pleasure of playing the amp you built for him. Very awesome!!!!!
