That looks impressive!

I would agree with the comment above.  Adding trim might not look the best.  It looks great without it.

That looks the bollocks, it really does. Convinced me not to bin an old broken down combo but strip it down for parts. I see a cab build in my future.

Well if you need a load of TurboBlue Tuffcab paint, then fleabag's your man!!

[fleabag]

Do it Stew. PITA here because of the space, but someone  with a proper man shed will have a much easier time

Grinding to a halt now till i can fit edge trim, so made a badge. 

 

I thought you were going to paint the ports, but it looks really cool now it’s all done. Classy looking.

I had that intention PT, but changed my mind. Thanks !

Some of the edge protection fitted, and if i hadn't miss-cut a few while i had a fuzzy head full of cold, i'd be finished. So, waiting for more strip to arrive.

meanwhile - pics of partial edge fittings - cab is a bit dusty. Needs a vacuum

I think the edge strip looks really smart, actually.

Mammoth hair covering would have been unique , eh  !

[RichardH]

It's certainly been a mammoth build thread...

[fleabag]

No one spotted i put the handles on upside down ?

[stevie]

The handles were the right way up - it's the cabinet that was upside down.

[fleabag]

Someone's on the ball 

[stevie]

Don't keep us in suspense. What does it sound like?

[fleabag]

I can only post about that when its finished

[stevie]

[fleabag]

Wont be long Stevie -  it'll be done tonight - honest guv 

[fleabag]

Right - brace yourselves - we are done. At last

I got feet - 4 of 'em

Soldering driver

Fitting driver

 

 

[fleabag]

Money shots - oi , stop dribbling at the back

Some side action

Some rear action , matron. Yes i stuck another badge on the rear. Had some perspex i didnt know what to do with

Some front action

And a close up ( sounding like a porn movie ? ) of the flash SS cups under the grill screws. Oh yes. Come to daddy

 

[SpondonBassed]

Wont those handles fit both ways then?

[fleabag]

Yeah they do.  But if they were the other way round, its slightly more cramped to get a grip. I checked this before.

You find that you need the most space below the handle for your knuckles

My mistake.  I took the comment about them being upside down the wrong way.  You had it sussed from the outset then.
