Wow, thanks Alto! I always try to make stuff for the kids when they ask.

You are an awesome dad I hope I get to be like you when my son gets older it’s awesome too see dads who supports there kids on what they like god bless you and your family all the way from the tip of Texas

How can anyone dislike Steve's videos? I have to be honest, this was not the sound I was expecting to hear out of the wholesome looking kids on stage but they have a great sound. Nice job to you and the band!

I gotta say…. Your son better be damn proud for you listening and supporting ☝️😂!!!!

Awesome cabinet for a rig! Good job as always!

What a great top bloke making a flight case for his son, well done!

I love how you happily took the mistaken 21" cut in stride and found a good solution. That's a great building skill! Great build man. I'm inspired to head to my shop and get some live audio equipment organized.

Nice build. It is always a blessing watching our children progress, my son is a guitarist so I can relate. Thank you for sharing!

Great build, Steve! And your son's band is absolutely punishing! Thanks for another fun video.

@@SteveCarmichael I'm not dismissing their musicianship, but like you, it's just not much of my style of rock/metal. I'm personally one of those who likes 80s thrash, 90s grunge, and 00s alternative metal. Stuff like Metallica, nirvana, breaking benjamin, and chevelle.

I was looking for cabinet ideas for my son’s guitar amps and ended up here. This is a really cool idea. My son isn’t playing out, yet, but I think he’d get a kick out of the look of this one. Plus, ideal storage. Thanks!

Great job Steve. I just did a video on a drill press cart...always interesting to see how others tackle something seemingly simple like a box. Thanks for sharing.

Great job! You've inspired me what to do with my tool box now! Cant believe I didnt think of it before,its already craftsmen red.. RIP Eddie.

Nice case Steve, looks like he is going to get a lot of great use out of it. And his band sounds great.

Fix on the fly... great job on the case! Researching ideas to make one, thanks for the inspiration.

You can see he is really proud of his son

I'm in the process of creating a 40" x 22" x 30" (h) case for 2 PA speakers. I'm using 3/8" thick 5 ply plywood. Do you think I'd need a 2x4 frame on the bottom?

@SteveCarmichael

Жыл бұрын

I do think you would need some sort of frame to screw the plywood to. 2x2 or 1x3 would work as well and reduce cost. 3/8" plywood alone is not thick enough for screws to hold. They would tear out easily.

That is a great project. I like that you focus on the function instead of making it flawless. It is also great that you and your son feed each other's habits. I hope they do well with their band, but I am too old (years and attitude) to appreciate their music.

Does it matter if you cut plywood with the grain or across the grain?? Which do you prefer?

@SteveCarmichael

5 жыл бұрын

The plies are glued together with alternating grain direction, so the strength is the same. The outer plies may tear out a little more across the grain depending on the blade. I usually pay attention to the grain direction of plywood just for cosmetics.

@@SteveCarmichael that's a good point. I recently built a road case and noticed the splintering on the outer layer when cutting with a jigsaw. The cuts were much cleaner going with the grain.

A jigsaw blade with more teeth per inch would make a smoother cut.

Make the cabinet the right size next time and use rack rails so you can mount the 19” rack gear correctly. Nice work - but rack rails make life with that kind of gear much easier.

Also, the volumes of vocals, guitars, and drums were all under the sound guy's control, not ours. Watching a video recording of our live set definitely doesn't accurately reflect how it sounds...

That said for every one act that "makes it" there are 100,000 who will never see the outside of bar gigs playing covers.
