Thread: Progress - where are you at?

Thanks Peter , may do that when I get going on these again.

Here's a couple of head shells that I have just finished.
Blackwood and silver ash . The shape is a copy of the original

I think someone's been holding out on us !!!!!

very nice head's there.

i have been busy with other things, but i should post a few photos of bits and pieces. i've been getting some transformers lately so i should have a few amps soon. should have a 100w amp done in the near future.

Wot Stu said!

Now you have done it Mr K. Looks like you just put another project on my agenda. After seeing those inspiring works of joinery I have to now do something like it myself in the future. I do like that Retro style, I might steal it but add some shiny metal in there some place....maybe.

May the Mastotermies never find your wood stocks

Fantastic stuff to droolover folks.

Can't wait to get home and sort out my stockpile cum woodheap.

you are a top craftsrnan mr k - congrats on your achievements

the standard of woodcraft shown in this thread alone is as good as i have seen anywhere

Some very nice work in here! Loving the amp heads MrK!!

I've gotten as far as having my new woodworking books arrive (early Xmas pressie) and getting a compound mitre saw. Next step is making myself a work bench.

nice looking head shells Mr. K.
They look remarkably similar to these ...was this the inspiration .? or is the Reynolds a copy of something else?

Thanks for all the kind words all .As far as I know Peter Renolds cabs are his own design and he builds them himself .These cabs are copies and with good reason . I think I'd like to keep the client anonymous

Cheers Mark

this is making me think of making a timber head shell for a build im doing. might just use timber for the front and rear, and use black vinyl for the rest. very nice cab.

have any idea what is going into it?

Thanks Black labb , the owner has a Reynolds 501 to go in there
Cheers Mark

Been doing a ~100w amp (amps are fun because there is less time from start to getting to be able to use them properly).

the amp has 2 6bl8 tubes in the preamp, a marshall style tone stack with a mid shift pot which varies the mid band frequency from ~250hz to 1000hz. the preamp is simple otherwise, as i plan to use it for bass or for guitar with pedals. the output will run 4 el34's or 6l6's. here are some pics.







the preamp is wired, with some stray wires that need to be connected to other sections of the amp (which arent in yet). should be testing it tomorrow.

will post more info when im not in a rush.
