I made one..

Had a lot of problems during the build with my tools (and being broke), that's why it didn't turn out perfect.
Don't have any recording since I don't have all my gear here, but I still wanted to share. :)

It's got a Celestion G12 K-100 8 Ohm, and I've got plugs for the ports, so I can have either one or two ports open or none.
The front is held in place by magnets.
The cab is covered in real leather (because of a fuck up), which is nice..

I took pictures during the process and thought I'd make a video explaining what I did, parts used, etc. but since the process was crappy, meeeeeh I don't know..
 
Snyggt job. I like the way the red looks with it. Function over form though so if it sounds good don't worry too much, you can always do another if you're not satisfied. Did you do a tuned port or duplicate another's dimensions?

BTW, where do you find decent tools? Jula/Biltema isn't cutting it for me.
 
Tack! I did copy a Engl cab (not ported), I do have enough material to make another one, I might do one for a smaller speaker I have that I thought I'd use for solos.
I have a electric screwdriver that I got from ClaesOhlson, it's not that bad, and a handheld sander from Biltema, it's not great, but it did the job.
I also got a cheap multitool from Classe as well, and broke down pretty fast.

Didn't have a drill or an electric saw, that is something that is really needed.
