"Hey Sailor" by Letter Box - Jak na to + styl
One detail that changes everything : he smiles because he's enjoying was he does. Pure gold video
Dad of the year award goes to this guy 🤘
Wow, thanks Alto! I always try to make stuff for the kids when they ask.
You are an awesome dad I hope I get to be like you when my son gets older it’s awesome too see dads who supports there kids on what they like god bless you and your family all the way from the tip of Texas
How can anyone dislike Steve's videos? I have to be honest, this was not the sound I was expecting to hear out of the wholesome looking kids on stage but they have a great sound. Nice job to you and the band!
I love how you happily took the mistaken 21" cut in stride and found a good solution. That's a great building skill! Great build man. I'm inspired to head to my shop and get some live audio equipment organized.
What a great top bloke making a flight case for his son, well done!
Nice build. It is always a blessing watching our children progress, my son is a guitarist so I can relate. Thank you for sharing!
Great build, Steve! And your son's band is absolutely punishing! Thanks for another fun video.
Not a big fan of that style of metal, but it's still cool to see someone seeking their dream of music, and it's amazing to see a father supporting their son as they progress on their music journey.
It is a lot different than the 70s/80s rock and metal that I like. I am impressed by their musicianship and song structures, plus their recordings sound great for being diy. They are in the process of recording their 2nd CD now.
@@SteveCarmichael I'm not dismissing their musicianship, but like you, it's just not much of my style of rock/metal.
I'm personally one of those who likes 80s thrash, 90s grunge, and 00s alternative metal. Stuff like Metallica, nirvana, breaking benjamin, and chevelle.
Awesome cabinet for a rig! Good job as always!
sitting here watching Steve work, you can really see that he enjoys the crap out of woodworking! Very enthusiastic and energetic, guess i have to watch the rest of his content ... ooh well there goes another Saturday night :P Time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted time!
I've had the same tape measure problems too. Great build and video. Always enjoy The Carmichael Workshop.
Thanks Robert! Just can't find a good tape measure that works anymore.
Carmichael has more fun than just about anybody. That's one reason his videos are so enjoyable to watch.
+Tom Nally Thanks, I just enjoy whatever projects and shop time I can fit in after work.
Great job! You've inspired me what to do with my tool box now! Cant believe I didnt think of it before,its already craftsmen red.. RIP Eddie.
I was looking for cabinet ideas for my son’s guitar amps and ended up here. This is a really cool idea. My son isn’t playing out, yet, but I think he’d get a kick out of the look of this one. Plus, ideal storage. Thanks!
Great job Steve. I just did a video on a drill press cart...always interesting to see how others tackle something seemingly simple like a box. Thanks for sharing.
Nice case Steve, looks like he is going to get a lot of great use out of it. And his band sounds great.
the vocals wtf that dude is on FIRE!!! awesome!
I liked the page! your son must be proud of you!
Fix on the fly... great job on the case! Researching ideas to make one, thanks for the inspiration.
I gotta say…. Your son better be damn proud for you listening and supporting ☝️😂!!!!
You sir an awesome dad I wish my father was half as supporting as you are. Your son is lucky to have you in his life & awesome build was looking for ideas for a road case for myself but will pretty much copy yourself adjusting it for my needs though. Thank you
Thank you for the kind comments Josh! Good luck with building your case. After I build something, I always think of ways to make the next one better.
Hey buddy I think I have the same tape measure as you have. Great video man big props to you and your son!!!!
I think the singer needs a hug.
Another great video Steve! It really measured up! I truly believe in function over looks (just look at my shop). Really enjoyed the background music. As for your son's music style, well.... He did well with the drums.
Wow, they wail! Gotta be a proud dad moment to see your kid performing like that.
Good save with the rack mounted component! I could see using that case for many things.
Great build Steve keep em coming
+DIY Builds Thanks
Hi Steve,Loved the case, wrong generation for the band. nice to see you still producing good videos
nice build Steve that turned out really nice for him. I guess I'll meet you at the end of the month.
You can see he is really proud of his son
nice job Steve. Diggin the band too "liked"their Facebook page
good build ----great ideas as always
Great build as always Steve. You must have been beaming the night of the show. The kids have talent! Oh, and congrats on them having a logo that you can read. Some bands forget that =)
I didn't expect the 7dust/djent/metal at the end. I liked it for that reason. lololol
Very cool project!!!!👍👍👍👍 sorry Steve I can't do Atlanta this year . Great video always like to see what you are doing! Regards BobLee
I think i may have the same brand tape measure you have. Lol. Gotta be proud of your son, talented like his Dad
Ahhh the "masquerade"! I'm from Long Island but was in a handful of national touring bands and been through atl more then a few times lol. Masquerade was always a cool place to play. Ask your son if he's heard of a band called bayside. I'm not with them anymore but they are still playing. We weren't as heavy so he prolly never heard of them lol. I love music related builds. That's why I started my own custom drum company :)
Thanks for the cool footage.
That dang tape measure...so mischievous!
Jason Enz You mean like THE bayside? The one signed to Hopeless records?
Nice video as always!
Thanks!
Your son is a fine drummer :) Good vid
Our nearest box store must be getting metric plywood. They had 7/16 and 11/16, but no 1/2 or 3/4 inch plywood for a similar project. What did you go about the heat given off by the electronics.?
awesome - so awesome
Thanks Jimi!
This guy is Superdad! Kudos!
Cool video Steve
The case was the best sounding thing on stage.
Ha! I think my Tama drums sounded pretty good. Birch is nice and punchy.
Nice case Steve. I built a case a few years ago and I used "crackle" paint to get it to match the amps. Well, kind of matched. :)
Nice to see your son playing drums like his old man.
Thanks! That sounds like a good paint to use for that. Tolex covering would be cool, but probably overkill for this box.
Case is great! But the band is even better! I went and followed them on spotify. \m/
Thanks Joshua! Agreed! They have a new bass player to round out the band now...sounded great last week at their Atlanta show.
Great video! You seem like a great dad!
Thank you very much James! I try!
I'm in the process of creating a 40" x 22" x 30" (h) case for 2 PA speakers. I'm using 3/8" thick 5 ply plywood. Do you think I'd need a 2x4 frame on the bottom?
I do think you would need some sort of frame to screw the plywood to. 2x2 or 1x3 would work as well and reduce cost. 3/8" plywood alone is not thick enough for screws to hold. They would tear out easily.
Nice save with the short cut. Always have changes in the design but they don't seem to care about the details as we do. He must take after his mother musically- haha.
This video came up in a google image search and I just had to say that I miss your face Steve, hope you're doing well!
Hey Paul! Good to hear from you. All is well here. I'm working on starting back up with the videos again. I miss it. I enjoyed your hockey video. Hope you are doing fine too!
That is a great project. I like that you focus on the function instead of making it flawless.
It is also great that you and your son feed each other's habits.
I hope they do well with their band, but I am too old (years and attitude) to appreciate their music.
+B Templeton Thanks, yeah they needed it fast so not much time to plan it out. I'm old too but like seeing them do their thing.
Steve, my memory is not what it used to be, but I think I remember you saying you are working at a poultry outside Atlanta. Many moons ago, I worked at a poultry plant in beautiful Cherokee county.
I understand the frustration with those darn tape measures Steve. Maybe Paul Akers (my Guru) over at FastCap can come up with a solution for that! Nice touch - giving your son and his band a little exposure here on CZcams. Not exactly the type of music I'm into (there's probably a good reason why friends call me "Doowop"), but we all follow our own paths. Thanks for another cool video! I always enjoy your productions.
Do you then plug to power bar into an extension cord? Is that safe?
Yes, if you use a proper extension cord. This is all low amp stuff.
GOOD INFO, THANKS.
Hey thanks! I made this while he was away at school. The latch and case have survived, but of course they haven't played many gigs in a couple of years. If it breaks, I'll just fix it or make another one or buy one if they become more active.
Great info.
Digging the music too!!!
Very cool bro
Looks solid! How heavy is this case?
It's about the weight of a 12" combo amp. He puts one rack mount unit and a Line6 HD500 pedal board in it, so it's pretty easy to move in and out of a car.
What sounds where they playing via laptop?
They didn't have a bass player at the time, so it was a bass track, rhythm guitar and some sound effects like dramatic intros and bass drops.
Great project Steve, as always! It is fantastic to have your son involved in music! I know you play, and to pass it on is all a father can ask for. Does he create his own backing tracks or buy them and what are the backing tracks, bass or more? Thankz
+Audio Tech Labs Thanks, he's a music major and composes and programs it all himself. They don't have a bass player so the guitarist records the bass track and addl rhythm guitar tracks. They add intros and percussion parts for extra flavor, like 808 bass drops.
Does it matter if you cut plywood with the grain or across the grain?? Which do you prefer?
The plies are glued together with alternating grain direction, so the strength is the same. The outer plies may tear out a little more across the grain depending on the blade. I usually pay attention to the grain direction of plywood just for cosmetics.
@@SteveCarmichael that's a good point. I recently built a road case and noticed the splintering on the outer layer when cutting with a jigsaw. The cuts were much cleaner going with the grain. But I guess, if you're cutting square/rectangular pieces, you will always be cutting at least 2 sides against the grain. ;)
Thanks for hitting me back!
A jigsaw blade with more teeth per inch would make a smoother cut.
Nice build and video, Steve. I've always wondered how long someone can keep their voice with that style of singing. :>)
+Steve Collins Thanks Steve, me too. I don't see how they can scream like that.
as sure as it feels like animals are eating my insides (although that could be the fish I had for dinner) that was a cool vid from beginning to end. drummers really love gear don't they?
Thanks Mark! Yep we do love our gear. The band names sure have changed since the 80s.
You're not kidding mate! Mean and moody never goes out of style but I hope the guys find find their inner Mirth sometime soon! What the blue heck is deathcore anyway!!!??
I would have installed rack rails, because it allows you to add another rack devices.
That Red White & Blue Hee Haw gtr made me wanna play guitar. I just knew I wanted one.
Me too! Used to watch Hee Haw when I was a kid.
Meus parabéns amigo ficou top parabéns tamos aí marcando presença abraços e boa semana.....
Will you be at the ATL Woodworking show?
+Tony Costello Yes I will be there. You coming Tony?
I am going to try. This will be my first wood working show and really hope to make it.
And sometimes just repeating the number over and over works too...sometimes...
22 inches 22 inches 22 inches set the table to 20 inches...oh crap!
Always a pleasure Steve!
Thanks!
Great video Steve!!! Looks as though I'll be absent from the Atlanta show this year tpp :( But I'll probably end up going to that same wood place near you in April. We should collaborate on a project for our channels! Got a new camera and mic for x-mas! Let me know!
Hey Keith! Sorry you won't make it to the show. Let me know about April.
Hey Steve, I build custom road cases, mostly local bands out of STl. but have done some for Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton and Aerosmith. I'll put a couple pics on your facebook page. Nice job, I'm sure it will serve him well.
Wow, that's cool Mike! I've never made one before. Yes, please share some pics, I'd love to see them.
🤘
Dad of the year
As a bass player... Where's the bass player? :p Nice video :D
+Felipus Rex She is in the laptop. Lol, ah the search for the elusive bass player continues.
Well, it a nice solution while then find one. Plus it's always on time, LOL! JK, I would add some kind of power conditioner to that case.
Hope your boy appreciates his old man
Make the cabinet the right size next time and use rack rails so you can mount the 19” rack gear correctly.
Nice work - but rack rails make life with that kind of gear much easier.
6:36 "changing guitar sound without stepping on guitar pedalboard" how to do that...somebody pls help me. I want to know
They use a Line6 HD500 pedalboard and connect it to a laptop with a midi cable and control it via midi I believe. I can ask my son.
@@SteveCarmichael thnks sir
cool case and I will be nice about the music out of respect. its cool your son is into drumming too.
Hey Brian! Thanks man! Yeah, he's much better than me. Hope y'all are doing ok. Tell Beth hello and happy belated birthday!
love the Van Halen striped tool chest
Thanks! I knew I couldn't get my dad's old tool chest back to a factory finish, so I just went with an approach that had a relic element to it. Huge VH fan here. I might be making a Frankenstein copy soon.
Nice
Well that was some brutal music. A case will stand many years of abuse :)
Thanks! Yeah, it's a really interesting genre, so heavy and very technical.
I think shop gremlins are responsible for the tape measure problem. Shop gremlins are a real threat. I think measures should be taken.... ;)
I hate when the tape measure fails in the dimensions. They don't make 'em like they used to
Oh I know, mine must skip a number below 22.
Thumbs up for case, but music def not my type. Good luck to them tho.
👌 👍 👌 👍 👌 👍 👌 👍 👌 👍
Solid case, your son is a luck guy.
Nice rack Steve. The band plays well but it would be nice to have subtitle for the lyrics. Just kidding I understood every word. thumbs up.
OG Timbercraft Hey Orely I saw your comment just wanted to say hi 👋 Regards BobLee
The amount of times I’ve measured something and cut it too short 😂 👍
you need a new tape measure! haha! nice build!
Yeah, I think so. It skips a number somewhere.
Cool case, nice work, but for the cost of labour and materials you could have just bought one that'd have shock mounts, mounting hardware and proper latches
Thanks! But then I wouldn't have been able to enjoy making it for my son. It's been working fine for their occasional local gigs.
I need to make sure i dont get one of those defective tape's cause i have enough to get wrong already....lol
Plot twist: his son is the singer
Ha! They have a different singer now, but haven't been active due to the pandemic thing. The case is still in use though!
Didn't expect death metal😂
nice song lml
1- I'm going to have to stop commenting seeing in your starving condition you've started cutting stuff too short. Guilty by association.
2- I like the case and my younguns are glad I'm diesel powered and don't specialize in thumb flattning.
3- The outdoor shop ought to be getting geared up and
4- They're Mirthless, all right!
No blade guard. No riving knife.
1994 Craftsman blade guards suck. I have it stored under the saw, but it should be in the trash bin. I installed a MicroJig MJ Splitter Steel Pro for ripping. I don't think they even had riving knives back then, at least not on the Craftsman contractor saw. btw, I think you might like one of these - amzn.to/2XMQFBm
wont last long without the aluminium on the corners....and im a professional in the entertainment industry of 15years
He still uses it. It depends on how often you gig with it I guess. They do a gig every 2 months or so.
as a black metal and heavy metal fan the bands got talent but in my OPINION i feel there was too much use of the symbols and the lead singer audio could be amplified but besides that i feel that if they stay together they could have a major record dead in the future.
I really enjoy watching them play. A lot different music than back in my day. I like hitting the cymbals a lot too, so he must get that from me. lol
Ryan rohr I'm the guitar player for the band in this video and a huge fan of black metal as well. In my defense, the cymbals were just picked up very loudly in the recording, which is normal in video recordings of live performances. Also, the volumes of vocals, guitars, and drums were all under the sound guy's control, not ours. Watching a video recording of our live set definitely doesn't accurately reflect how it sounds... That's not to say that Steve did a bad job capturing it; he did a great job. But yeah. Your critique isn't of our actual music. Just sayin'.
Thanks so much for building this for us, Steve. It's super useful and convenient for us. Awesome vid, too.
I'm not insulting the band, u guys are great. It may of just been the camera audio, I wasn't trying to offend anyone, I apologize if I upset you.
You're good. Wasn't offended. I'm a little overly defensive. Thank you!
Is there even such a thing as a "major record deal" in 2017? And why would you want one? New acts don't need record labels to have a career if they can develop a big enough social media following. That said for every one act that "makes it" there are 100,000 who will never see the outside of bar gigs playing covers.

Hi Rob! Thanks for watching!
liked the build, quick and to the point
Liked the project, but sorry to say I loathed the music. I’m over 50, so maybe I just don’t get it.
That's ok. No one likes all music. I'm an 80's hair band guy, so I like rock with guitar gods and great singers.
