Re: The stack is finally finished!!!!

I can not get it to work either. I did a few test replies (preview) with other pics useing [image] [/image] tags and they work fine. I just can not get your picture to work. [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Perhaps it has something to do with the bmp extension. I am having computer problems right now, and I cant convert images to jpg format for some reason. Perhaps one of you fart smellers could do that for me. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

No kidding. Both my computers went down within hours of each other. They both gave disk error messages. I couldn't even reformat them myself. My father in-law reformatted both drives for me, and I finally got the one working, but it has Win 98 first edition on it, and the paint program won't let me convert to Jpeg. How geigh is that? I still don't have the other system running yet. It has a recovery disk, but even that won't work. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] Okay, I'm done hijacking my own thread now.

Looks like a great job, zeegler! But that pic of yours looks like one brown pixel on my screen.

Did you refinish the cab too? Isn't it tough work to get that tolex glued on flat and nice? What glue did you use? Did you strip the cab of old tolex first? Talk to me...

Sorry about the crappy pic. I'll try to get some better ones on Sunday. The cab is down at my rehearsal space so I won't see it until then.

No I didn't have to strip the old tolex from the cabinet, because there wasn't any. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]I built it from scratch. I used contact cement to glue on the tolex. It went pretty smoothly, but it takes a great deal of patience. You have to apply it to both the wood, and the tolex, and then let it dry completely before adhering it. I might try spray adhesive next time.

Re: The stack is finally finished!!!!

Ok! I have a stripped Marshall 4x12" - that's why i'm interested. Where's the best place to get tolex, cheap?

How many pieces of tolex did go on that cab? (i'm wondering how many seams there is).

[zeegler]

Re: The stack is finally finished!!!!

There is only one seam, one the bottom of the cabinet running from underneath the front corner guard to the back corner guard. You cut the tolex and leave an extra 1/16". Then when you glue it down, it will be a super tight, almost invisible joint.

Re: The stack is finally finished!!!!

Looks great. Did you buy from a local dealer, or online?
