Finishing the Cabs

After sanding the cabs down to bare wood, and rounding off the edges and corners of the new pieces, we cut the holes for the side handles on the bottom cab.

We then applied three coats of glossy Polyurethane to the two cabs.

Finishing the cabs with Polyurethane

After adding two side strips, we were able to use the original back panels. We left the original tolex on these, as they are just thin plywood. Here we see the bottom panel and the handles mounted, as well as the original corner protectors on the bottom.

We are now ready to reassemble the amp components (next section).
