About the order of these posts....
When I originally started this blog, the order of the posts were reversed. This made it easier to follow my progress from day 1 to present. Now the posts are in typical blogger fashion with the most recent post by date listed first. Go back to the archives to follow the posts in order, or search the blog for specific topics, issues or keywords.

Any sheet metal shop can bend up a "Tweed" style chassis quickly and inexpensively if you give them the dims or if you use an aluminum extrusion of box or C section, a cut off can be pretty cheap.
Alternatively you can build a sheet metal brake or buy a used one cheaply.
A Marshall style flat chassis is a little more work but still can be done cheaply. Most challenging is a Fender slope front, black/ brown/ silver face chassis.
The book lacks those dims which is a disappointment, but worse there is no good schematic, only a mutt half schematic, half pictorial that is tough for the novice to follow or build from.
Has Dave ever seen any of the excellent kid's DIY books by Alfred P Morgan or Harry Zarchy?? Those show how it's done pretty well.
