Agreed, but since it will be made by mom, dad and I, we will go with just the "A"You need to have a plastic RVA name badge made for your new Custom Cabs.

Why not go with the entire family name?
Or a variation that incorporates elements of the name and the word family?
You can superimpose an A and an F and get interesting things from them.
Do we have a graphic designer in here any more?
If not, I am very close friends (extended family close) with a really good one.

How about a sticker over your own shaped baseplate?

Nice! You did an awesome job covering that amp.I love your mom! Paisley is my Favorite!!! You should cover the thing in Paisley...
Show her my custom cover job...not paisley, but the best I could find at the garage
sales in a real heavy fabric...
In this case, the paisley will be the grill cloth. I hope it is not too heavy. How thick is too thick for a grill?

So we figured that the best way for me to really learn is to work on my own equipment, so under strict instructions, the dust saw started flying today.
I found some good hardwood in the garage that used to be old shelves. It is 9.75" wide, which was nice.
I made the initial box cuts - top and bottom @ 27" and sides @ 14". Here it is unsecured, and placed on top of each other just for a visual
Some parts came in too:
I would like to thank Chili for many safety tips and suggested devices (awesome push stick, featherboard, and outfeed table) that allowed me to have much more confidence for these cuts. I was much more satisfied with my accuracy as a result.

I only understood the park about watching your free hand. What is a "double bevel miter saw" and "radial arm saw"?!
