The components and speaker should be arriving in the course of February. Living in South Africa we are at the wrong end of expensive shipping pipelines.
As this project is intended to provide the basis for learning and experimentation with tube amps the cabinet has a definite separation of the speaker and amplifier compartments.
Initially the amp will be 5watt single ended and the speaker 10 inch. The amp compartment allows easy access to the amplifier and the speaker compartment will accept a 12 inch speaker.
The cabinet is made of 20mm South African pine. This is a pretty soft wood and probably not the best wood for a cabinet. It is cheap and easy to work quickly with. As the amp develops and I feel I have a decent cabinet design I will then get higher quality wood and work it more carefully and accurately.
More posts as the project progresses.
