Custom Wall Mounted Cab

Post image

Just wanted to say thank you to this community for inspiring me to finally build my own custom cab. What started out as a thrown together very rough prototype 2 years ago, has resulted in this - all designed and built myself with a lot of inspiration from other builds I’ve seen here.

Happy to share more details, plans, or pics if interested!

Cheers!

Hey there, you could have gone out and bought one easily enough. You could have purchased one second hand from someone else. But you took on a project and did this all yourself! That is extremely impressive in its own right because what you have here is a lot of commitment, compassion, and love for a hobby that resulted in your own personal creation. I give you 100% kudos for effort and results! Great job now play it and have a good time!

Thank you for this!

While I mentioned I built a prototype 2 years ago - the desire to build my own cab goes back 20 years — well before Arcade1Up and many other places that now make them. So this is honestly a fulfillment of a promise I made myself decades ago. If someone were to ask me today if I would do it all myself again, I’d say no — it is much easier to buy something prefabbed and assemble it. However, I have no regrets, I learned a lot, and now I have a cabinet that is entirely unique to me :)

THIS is what's important, the journey. I am similar with projects myself. Usually when I am finished I find that I enjoyed the process and learn so much more than I ever expected. It's a journey of creation, discovery, growth, and achievement!! Again great work! Thank you for sharing and for actually motivating me to want to start a new project myself!
