    What tools to buy

    Well, I didn't realise it was 3 years ago that I started this thread. Anyway, I bought a C4 vertical panel saw and a Metabo PK255 table saw. These have been fine for my needs - and I have not had to replace the blades yet. I also made a routing table out of a sheet of 15mm birch ply and mounted...

    What tools to buy

    The cabs you see there are built to fit readily available chassis. All those amps are ones I have built myself. I intend to make these cabinets available to DIY amp builders as well as my trade contacts. Thanks for the offer of a demo, I recently moved from Upminster, it's a shame I didn't know...

    Hello Escudo I live in Fakenham, my workshop is in Syderstone. I don't have time to attend any shows, I need to start work as soon as possible. I have just about decided on an Axminster C4 panel saw to handle the 8x4 sheets. I'll see how I get on with that and decide on a table saw or combi...

    Thanks for the info on the EZ system. I went to Sawmill Creek and registered in order to contact Dino but my registration was deleted because it didn't meet their membership requirements and I was refered to their terms of service. I can't see what what was wrong.

    What tools to buy

    These are what I am making. Some will have butt joints, some dovetails especially the large cabinets fitted with speakers. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v173/ ... My%20amps/? The EZ and Festool systems look like they should do the job but I have no idea what to buy. I look at the pictures...

    What tools to buy

    I have finally moved to my new home and found suitable workshop premises. I have 700 sq ft of floor space. Now, having spent many hours looking at saw benches and equipment, I still don't know what I should buy. Basically I need to be able to accurately cut 8'x4' sheets of ply lengthways. All I...

    What tools to buy

    Yes, I can see why you couldn't do them at that price. I don't think I would want to do a simple tolexed ply box for that either.

    What tools to buy

    My idea is to make a consistent range of head and combo cabinets to fit readily available amp chassis, nothing special just good quality birch ply. and maybe a cheaper MDF option. The finished article would look the same on the outside. One off specials could be another option and perhaps a...

    What tools to buy

    I know they could be knocked out quickly and cheaply with CNC machines, but no-one actually sells them cheaply, not to the public anyway. I have looked into the market and found at least 3 definite outlets, possibly 4. However I am still not absolutely certain it would be viable as a full time...

    What tools to buy

    Well, I have been using dowelled butt joints which is adequate on small cabinets but dovetailed joints are the traditional method on more expensive ones so I would like to offer that option.

    What tools to buy

    I am initially allowing for about £5-7000 to get set up with everything I need to get started. I could double that if I need to. Obviously a vertical panel saw would eat up the major part of my budget, but do I actually need one, they certainly make it look easy. I don't have a workshop but...

    What tools to buy

    I intend to start a small business making guitar amp and speaker cabinets. I need to buy reliable tools for the purpose. So far I have made a few cabinets having had the wood cut to size at the woodyard. I use butt joints with dowels and round over edges by hand sanding. However this is on a...
