Marking out and drilling the holes for the PCB board needing good precision. At this time it would be an idea to have a pedestal drill.

Celestion Greenback 12 inch speaker.I got a lot of help from Paul regarding building the cabinet at Modulus in Scotland.
I found it was very necessary to use an adhesive spray glue to keep the fabric from looking baggy.
Adding the piping. It was important to soften it first with a hairdryer as it was being stapled
to the baffle board.
All done and sounding very good. just a few finishing touches, the tremolo connection needs wiring and I am going to stain and varnish the wooden casing.

The little niggling problems that always arise after you think you have finished the job.
Okay, I admit it there were a couple of things that need to be remedied, which I will fix when I take the grill and amp off the cabinet for wood staining.
1) I ended the piping in the wrong place, it shold have been somewhere more discreet, ie the bottom of the cabinet.
3) The metal corners don't fit flush. The bevel all around the cabinet must be increased.
All done now and I'm really pleased with the result. It sounds fantastic nice and loud.
I used a red stain and finishing oil, that I had left over from finishing a guitar,
