Building a BEAUTIFUL Guitar Amp Speaker Cabinet// Kumiko & Kerf Bending

In this video, I put to use the Kumiko panel I made in my last video to create my ultimate guitar amplifier. I also explore kerf bending and make one mistake which is a major setback.

Also I've been getting a lot of comments saying that I should gone with a tube amp or gotten nicer parts, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on this project, and the amp I used for parts suited my needs before so that's why I used it. I use it quite frequently and it works great!

Youtube is always great when you want to watch a master work a craft that you never gave a shit about until 19 minutes ago

Super clean work dude. You've become quite the craftsman, nice editing too

[agility]

I am impressed by the attention to detail you have presented in every aspect of this piece of work, from the kumiko grill, to the kerf bent corners to the turned knobs with contrasting veneer insert, to the screen printing on the control panel face-- not to mention the quality video editing. I wonder how many different workers would be needed in the factory that originally manufactured this amp to do the work you have done? Your skills are apparent, but I am truly amazed by the focus, persistence and patience you demonstrate in all of the projects that you have made for this channel. Most excellent guitar amp..

I'm glad to make Japanese traditional kumiko art. You did job! Comment from Japan.

Great job....we need young people who can work with their hands. I just retired after 40 years in my trade and believe few young people are entering the trades theses days.

Miles, I think you did a great job with this amp. It does my heart good to see a young man like yourself taking on challenging builds like this and make them turn out so well. The amp will work very nicely with your kumiko "Strat" that I also watched you build. Very nicely done

[MichaelAlm]

Nicely done Miles! Love that you screen printed the graphic

[SimonMac]

Wow, Miles - not only are your making skills incredibly impressive, but your video editing/production is through the roof. Your videos are so mesmerizing! Great job - thanks for the entertainment and inspiration; keep it up!

Miles! Your artist's eye for beauty and design is such a gift and I love that you take the time to develop this and explore this and learn from others. Your process reminds me of a mountaineer climbing a mountain: never mind how long it takes, never mind that things don't always go as planned, just keep moving upwards towards your goal. Thank you for sharing!

You may want to put some metal foil contact glued on the inside top so that the metal box makes a contact when it's fitted. The foil and the metal amp chassis box will then create a shield for radio frequencies/interference. Alot of old tube amps used that to shield, an easy fit! Nice work.

I am truly blown away on the amp transformation! The attention to detail is impeccable! You have an exceptional skillset for someone your age! You have a bright future, young man! The only thing stopping you is you! But I don't see that happening! Liked and subbed!

[jimbb]

This is amazing!! I was already impressed after the kumiko and the veneer but then you just kept going with the screen printing and the knobs. You should be really proud of yourself!

[rufusTfirefly]

This was really well executed. I am impressed with the variety of skills you utilized to bring it to life. Well done!

This channel is criminally underrated. Such a lovely build! 🤩

[genekloszewski]

Super job! Nice to see talented people carrying on a tradition of craftsmanship! ( retired cabinetmaker 50 yrs. )

[alexalexiadis]

I’m so happy to see young people doing this beautiful work of art with their own hands!!!🎉So much talent!!

[ferdinandmaximilian_I.]

I have never seen a better looking Amp!

[UliTroyo]

What a gorgeous build! I'm glad YouTube finally got its act together recommending your channel.
