Hi,
Summer is almost here in the UK, and that means being outside is seen as a good thing by the significant other half.. cab building time 😉
I have a longer term project - a mini JCM800 tube guitar amp (still in design) that will need a small sit on cab. I'm thinking small like the old 1980s Marshall Lead12 practice amp where you can sit on whilst practicing but with a single 10" cream back and an EF80 based 2W mini JCM800 tube amp instead of the transistor based practice amp I had back in the day. Unfortunately I can't remember what happened to my old amp and so I have no references.
I have enough 12mm 9-ply baltic birch in the garage to make more than one of these, even if I doubled up the boards for thickness or used bracing internally.
The fastest way would be to base on existing plans (ie open back) I could use for dimensions - does anyone have one or two plans I could use as a base?

The fastest way may be to go to the e-guitar shop and ask if you can shop the unwanted trade-ins in the back room. Most music stores are forced to take old junk to sell new junk. I know you love the smell of baltic birch sawdust but maybe the SOH needs a linen cabinet or ?? You don't want amp and probably not speaker. It will come with feet and speaker hole.
