This page is dedicated to stuff that I built
but didn't really take pictures along the way.
This
bass tube was my first car audio project when I was 16 and just got my
license. My friend Dans'(not mail man dan) dad owns his own drilling
company so I went to Dans' house and we got some 8" pvc pipe that was flared
on one side. The port is made out of 4" pvc. We used a hole saw to cut
through the 8" pipe. After gluing the pieces together we painted it red.
The back was clear plexi-glass. On the inside of that we put a picture
of Hulk Hogan. I wish I had a picture of that, it was histarical. Then
we caulked speaker in there. It was an Urban sub, straight from Caldor.
Sure it's lame but we didn't know anything about anything. We just did
it.
This
sub was made for Mail Man Dan before he was a mail man. Back then we called
him Male Man cause he's gay. I'm joking, he's straight. Anyhow, the cabinet
is made of doubled up 3/4" particle board so that all the sides are 1.5"
thick. This box was a tank. That's a JL 12" W0 sub and Walmart brand automotive
carpet. This thing pounded in Dans' VW Golf. He gave it to me when I built
his new system. Then I traded it to this kid Dave for 2 Rockford 10's(one
was blown) in a box, 4 15" spoked rims, and a hundred dollars. It was pretty
dumb on his part.
I
made this SG style guitar in shop class my senior year of high school.
The wood is maple. The neck came off of an old Memphis LP guitar. I stripped
down the neck and stained it the same color as the body. The pick guard
was cut out of 1/8" clear plexi-glass. After it was shaped, drilled and
countersunk I painted the back black so it was real shinny(like on R/C
car bodies). The electronics and hardware are from Carvin.
This box was made for
my friend Dave's Mercury Tracer. It has a tan interior so we got carpet
to match. Two Optimus 12's, 5" mid's and some tweeters.
I
bought a case at a flea market for 10 buck for this flying V that I refinished.
I didn't realize it at the time but it smelled funny. Also the tolex covering
was kinda beat up. I tried to Fabreeze the inside but it only made
the fabric crusty. So I got some soft blue fabric and went to town reupolstering
it. I covered the outside with a black and gray tweed. When I got the V
it was painted black and had no electronics or hardware. I stripped it
down and stained it purpleish red. All the hardware is Carvin and so are
the pickups and controls.
Here is a cymbal bag that I made for my friend Mike from Ledyard CT. Its got old backpack straps and a handy pouch on the front. You don't get much cooler than this high quality job.
