Black tolex maybe a plexi front panel to see the tubes glowing?

 Re: Can anyone build me a head cab?
Yes, some sort of clear front is the correct answer, IMO. Maybe some sort of mesh.

 Re: Can anyone build me a head cab?
Make the front look like a microwave oven, you could see the tubes glow

 Re: Can anyone build me a head cab?
Any amp that has a "Brilliance" knob is a good amp.

 Re: Can anyone build me a head cab?
Nice! Are you going to try to round the edges, or tolex over them as is?

 Re: Can anyone build me a head cab?
I plan on rounding the edges with sand paper until my patience runs out. Still missing the back panel, chassis support for when I'm removing the chassis, handle, and of course the plexiglass! I'm going to buy wheels for my cab and use its rubber feet for the amp

 Re: Can anyone build me a head cab?
If you use sandpaper, make sure you use burly stuff, like 60 grit at least, to take as much wood off as possible. Ideally you might want to see if you can score or borrow one of those wood planes that looks like a cheesegrater. Makes it a lot easier when doing that sort of thing by hand. Like this:

A router is the quick way if you can borrow one.

 Re: Can anyone build me a head cab?
But he would have to be mad careful around the countersunk screws, as they would easily destroy a $40+ roundover bit. Sometimes, i use the handplane/surform just for simplicity, and also for most occasions when i have used screws to hold a joint together(rather than just glue). The router does a much more consistent clean job though, assuming you don't fuck something up and get a pile of tear-out on a corner, or set it too deep and get a bizarre edge as a result(or tag a nail/screw and chip/destroy the bit).
