Guitar Amp(s) Project

Years ago this started out as a simple attempt at building a wood guitar amp enclosure for a vintage Fender 5F1 Tweed Champ amp... they are usually made from finger jointed pine... after cutting the top, bottom and 2 side pieces of Baltic birch I then using my 40yrs old Craftsman table saw for the finger joints... total disaster... very inaccurate and too sloppy... so I started over and doweled, glued and cleat screwed them and was pretty happy with the result... (2) 5F1 enclosures and a 5E3 enclosure were made...after that I decided to continue by the building the amplifiers too... two years later they were completed...
