Don's 1959 Les Paul Inspired Guitar Build
มุมมอง 3922 ปีที่แล้ว
This was my quick photo dump of my 268 day journey of turning a few boards into a guitar. Special thanks to the members of the My Les Paul community www.mylespaul.com/ for generously sharing (for free) measured drawings of this iconic guitar. The internet inspired me in many ways and I also put my own spin on some techniques of the construction. I will forever be grateful for stumbling on the t...
DIY 4x12 Marshall Cabinet Clone Build
มุมมอง 69K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Earlier this year, I got a very cool piece of memorabilia from Kix guitarist Brian Forsythe - a Marshall amp head. A good bit of the research I did before starting this project was via TH-cam. So, I figured I would add my experience here as well. The background music for the last couple of minutes is me playing through the amp and cabinet - Please bear in mind that I am hobbyist woodworker and ...
You can buy them for peanuts!
I get it was to pair with that head but honestly I feel like the amount of work and quality that went into this you should have made it something unique.
Very cool. I’ve build many cabinets but I’ve never tried to do a Marshall clone. This is making me want to give it a shot.
Well done sir 👍 Lovely project and excellent build quality
Good job. Have you built a Head Cab?
Beautifull build, the nicest one i have seen on youtube !!
Why put a Marshall logo on a Fake. Impress your friends what a big spender you are? Got a fake Rolex too?
Thank you for your relevant input. Clearly you did not read the description. As an aside, this build cost more than had I bought a real cabinet. It was not about the money. It was about the challenge.
Handsome work, my man. Well Done!~~
I’ll go with a cardboard box 😮
Amazing cab, nice work !!! Not a fan of those heads tho.
Nice work, but I laughed out loud what I got to the end and saw a JCM 900 was going to go through it. Kinda like throwing a 4 cylinder into a '67 Shelby GT-500 when restoring it.
The head belonged to one of my guitar heros.
Stunning work Don! I'm very impressed at your skills.... looking at the plan seems like a simple thing, but looking into the build, you can see you put a lot of work into it.
You've inspired me to build one with my son. Looks like we both use the Incra LS router table with Whiteside bits. One question I must ask. When cutting the 3/4" dados for the box joints, my pins and cutouts are exactly the same size and won't go together. Do you use the micro adjust to offset cut some relief? Or is there another work around?
I did not have that issue. I only used the micro adjuster to make sure the edge of my bit was exactly in line with the fence. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps your bit is not precisely 0.75 inch.
Love it. Best I can do is make a video of me buying a cabinet.
Best I can do is make a video of me watching a video of you buying a cabinet.
Speaker cabinet made by a master craftsman. Wonderful build! Great detail.
do you have the plans to make a amp head?
Nope!
Perfect! Even better than the original! I see you put in a quad of V30s. Just picked up an original 1998 1960 Marshall cab with V30s!! I'm tossing up whether to keep this way or do Friedmanesque and I have another cab with all Greenbacks, so make a pair of 4x12s that have Greenbacks in the top and V30s in the bottom?!?? It's nice to have cabinets with different speakers and A-B them to a head, but this method is the best of both worlds as you have the mid bite of Greenbacks, but tight bottom of V30's!
I chose the speakers based on what I found out about what the original amp head's owner used.
Hi ! That build is amazing ! I do have a question, since I'm planning to make something similar. How do you make 1" radius rounded corners with a router ? I can't find 1" radius bits so I guess you have to use an other bit and pass on both side of the corner ?
Thanks for your interest. I don't remember where I got it but I do remember getting explicitly for this project. A search of Amazon shows multiple options. Definitely go with 1/2" shank.
absolutely excelent job!!! congrats for This great job.
Better than the real thing
I've tossed around the idea of building my own 4x12 just as a fun project. I had both a 1960AV and a Mesa OS 4x12 straight cab but in the interest of saving my lower back, I sold them off and have exclusively used 2x12s for the past 10 years or so. That said, there's plenty of times where I miss the "oomph" of a 4x12 and rather than just buy one, the idea of building one always tempts me more.
amazing work! I am so impressed! On the other hand I realized that it takes some serious skills and tools to build one. I just can't do this myself, this good! WELL DONE!
Hand tools can get this done also. It takes longer but, imagine the connection you’d have with woodworkers from a different era. It’s freakin spiritual
Hi great video! I was wondering about the white piping around the perimeter of the front baffle? What did you use and how did you install it? Really great build, sir!!
I bought the piping at AmplifiedParts.com. It has about a 1/2" tab that was stapled to the cabinet (not the baffle)
Impressive, it was much better than the original made by Marshall. Congratulations excellent work.
wow that was a super rad build! good job and thanks f the share! T4TS!
Great work! Build me a Marshall bass cab! 🎸
Bout how many sheets of birch did you use?
It's been so long I dont remember. I think they were 2' x 4' sheets that I got at a local woodworker supply store. I used 3/4" everywhere but the back panel
Beyond gorgeous
+++ top 👍👍👍+++
What's the music in this vid?
It might look like one, but it’s way too well built to fool anyone.
Superb craftsmanship
Really pro job there man. I bet it sounds as awesome as it looks.
that was fuckin cool dude
Sad part is all those tools cost the price of a top of the line cab 🤣
Why is that sad?
@@donphillips553 because were poor!!!!
Back ground music link please
It's been 3 years since I created this video - don't have them available. I know that they were pulled from TH-cam rolyalty free music library. Looking at the audio tracks on the video source, the first song file name is "Song_for_Michael.mp3" and the second is "Ready_and_Steady.mp3"
The only logos that Mojotone has is Fender.
This build is 3 years old. I guess they must have stopped carrying them.
You put my cabinet building skills to shame lol. I had bare minimal tools when I built mine, it helps to have the right tools haha. Great video.
Thanks!
Amazing!
Thank you!
I've had a few 1960A and B cabs and the best thing about using 4x12s is transporting them from place to place. They're so lightweight and compact. Just a pure joy. 😭
Yaa! It's like they "Move Themselves" from gig to gig !!!
good luck finding that baltic birch today
...and if you did, be prepared to get a second mortgage.
Wow...awesome job. Better than anything Marshall could build!
Thanks! 😃
Very nice, inspiring work! Sorry if I missed this but what are the measurements to properly place casters and anti-skid trays? Thanks.
Thanks Eric - I am not finding any of my measurements from this project. For the rotating casters, I seem to remember this - I located them such that the outermost edge of the wheels would be even with the edge of the box when rotated in that direction i.e. you would never quite see the wheels if looking straight down at the box from overhead. So, get the measurement from the vertical axis of the caster stem to the outside of the wheel. Use that measurement to locate the center of the hole for the caster socket in the bottom of the cabinet. For the anti-skid tray, I just measured the width distance of the feet on the amp head center to center. I centered that dimension on the width of the cabinet. Front to back, I just centered the tray.
@@donphillips553 This is helpful, thanks! I don't have the amp yet but worse case I'll go measure one in a music store 🙂
Niiiice - I'm IMPRESSED I'd prob just do a hack job that held together - but gee wiz thats a Nice cab!!!
Kix! Awesome Job!
Where can I find the music at the beginning ?
I don't remember the titles. Everything that was not me was youtube royalty free tracks
I've got a brand-new Marshall basketweave clone and boy am I ever nervous about drilling holes through the beautiful grill for the emblem/logo!
This was really great 👍👍
very very nice Job ! wouww ... ;-) well done !
i'm looking for a pdf for a 1922 cab do you know where i can find it?
I do not. Sorry!
