Members perceive Posted October 1, 2007 Members Share Posted October 1, 2007 I have a rough idea how I want to do this... But I will ask here for advice anyway.. I am looking at building a cabinet for two guitar heads, and a 12 RU unit. What sort of material would you use and how would you do it? (Yes I am aware that there are people in the US who do this sort of thing... but the .au company I found that did never responded to my quote request.. so I will do it myself and have some fun with it!)

Members perceive Posted October 1, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 1, 2007 Sorry, I will clarify! The cabinet I am building, will house the two aleady existing heads and also rack rails.Similiar to the photos you see for some people rigs, this will allow space for my current Hiwatt head, marshall head, and most likely 12 RU.It will need wheels.Aluminium edging would be good.Packing foam will exist between the heads and the actual cabinet.I was thinking actually more along the lines of: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8493578&postcount=152 Hope this makes more sense!

Members scottop1972 Posted October 1, 2007 Members Share Posted October 1, 2007 did you see the rack cab that i put together? you could do something like that, and put some big ass casters on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that - mine would be more like:http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showpost.php?p=9880218&postcount=152 Although I must say I really like the rack drawer in yours, that must be so handy!

Members scottop1972 Posted October 2, 2007 Members Share Posted October 2, 2007 yeah i like the drawer too. I just might have limited myself on space and unfortunately to get the space i lose the drawer. oh well i dont know enough about getting rack gear to work together to worry about losing the space yet. you might be able to make yours out of like fiberglass or something like molded plastic, light weight yet durable, might need some sort of metal skeleton. you would want it to look like the one in the picture but it looked a little weak. IMO. you could do it. anything can be done all it takes is money and time and thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members perceive Posted October 2, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 2, 2007 I agree - there are a million ways to skin this cat - which I guess is why I am posting.. I particularly agree with the metal skeleton - that would be the best way to take the weight.I have a lot of time to complete it as well - so at this stage its mainly thinking it through properly on my behalf....

Members scottop1972 Posted October 3, 2007 Members Share Posted October 3, 2007 can you weld? that would be a great way to get a metal frame with supportive shelves for the heads. then you can screw any fiberboard type of material to the metal skeleton.
