- www.tuneyoursound.com has visited Matamp in the UK. Jeff Lewis himself builds a vintage Matamp cabinet and shows all the skills accumulated since the '60 in building high end music amplification devices. More to come!

Yes it's Jeff in his Huddersfield's workshop. In 3 hours he did the finish on the prepared wood cabinet. No waste as he has pushed his craftsmanship to perfection!
Wish you guys would’ve showed making the baffle
There's Experience for you. Respect ! Should have him refurb my old " Voice of the World " logo cab from ? 1970 / 71. Those vintage cabs look good. But the oldies had nuts holding the speakers on. Screwing straight in save time now I guess.Great Great Cabs !!!
Great Orange Amps ad!
Amazing!!
So i think i'll go with the thin walnut veneered MDF...
thank you very much for your help
the speaker cabinet is already built so it is really how covering it with vinyl !!!!!!! by the way....very good job......
Done some cabinets myself it's increadibly physical work. You still have to think of your health. Use mask when doing sanding job and painting stuff. Wood dust and paint are not good for your lungs. Earprotection is a must with a tablesaw.
Amazing
why would you call this how to build a cabinet, it's putting on the vinil and screwin in the speakers
ευχαριστω
Thank you for your reply. I'm thinking to build a 2x12 cab for myself as a hobby. Would you recommend me the same thickness for walnut wood?
Great video!!! and awesome song!!! which band is this???
Is there a document with the specs used for the woodwork construction and material selection ?
do you know what type/brand of contact cement he uses on the tolex? also is the cabinet butt jointed, box joint/dovetail joint, or something else?
Bump for previous comment - What kind of glue is this? how long did it sit before applying vinyl to cab?
Well, thanks for the comments on the background music. Note that Jeff Lewis didn't want to be heard speaking, I had to convince him to accept that this video material was made public. Not an easy task.
As for the music, it has already been changed once, now it has some music from the free library of CZcams. You are welcome to send me music (or make suggestions) to put as background to the video, with the necessary copy rights and I will gladly give you satisfaction to change it!

Walnut has a higher density then ply, but in any case solid wood is not recommended. Use MDF veneered or particle boards. Solid wood has an inherent resonance that will wreck the flat frequency response of any traditional cone-type speaker, and therefore should not be used.
Geez. If I had that workshop and all those tools, I could built a robot that would build me a speaker cab. I wanna see somebody build one with a rock and some duct tape!
can anyone please tell me what kind of router bit is used to make that glue joint! i am in dire need!
It is a shame that the cabinet construction is missing, it would be perfect.
anyway thanks for the contribution (:
Great job!?!)==!)==!!!
Did you guys film him building the actual box?! That would be the shit!
nice video on tolexing. what a shame to go through all of that tolex covering only to lop off the corners with a knife because the black plastic corners go on though.
Can you tell the thickness of the wood? Thanks
i turned off the suicide music by muting the video. After that I could enjoy watching a true craftsman at work!
3,5 cm is the thickness of the wood. Luc
Well, the woodwork was unfortunately done before we had the chance to film it!

what names is the song ? please
The group is Thor and the name of the song Transit
What's the name of the orange stuff?
tolex
Demew REXINE
Orange speaker cover type stuff
I fucking wonder...he even put the label on it as he showed it
Theodore Moore
I know. Wipe-my-bum syndrome.
Mute works thats better
that would be over 1 1/3". looks like 3/4" or 19mm to me
He's a good craftsman, but he scares the sh** out of me on the table saw! I'm a cabinetmaker/carpenter who sustained a fairly serious injury (almost cut my hand off at the wrist). Mine was a freak accident.....but I can see his day coming up soon. You're never too experienced to re-learn safety.
RudeCommentsAreFun Absolutely right. New woodworkers take notice: the saw blade should never be that much higher than the thickness of the stock being cut, and you should NEVER finish a rip by pulling the board from behind the blade. (If the board binds, it will pull your hand into the blade.). Perfect example of how not to do it
Wow! This video covered everything.....except HOW THEY BUILD A FRIGGIN CAB! 😤
Great talent but no speaker cabinets were "built" in this video!!
No wounder they cost so much 1 old man builds them with tools from 1970.
This is great, but it's more like "how to finish a speaker cabinet."
Looks really interesting, but the music is so awful and intrusive that I cannot bear to sit through it. Shame, coz I love watching this sort of thing.
Make it wooden with the help of the Stodoys instructions.
Should be titled, "Watch me build a cabinet with equipment only a shop has, with no spec's or explanation." I can't see the benefit of watching this as an informative video..
This guy really doesn't seem to know the meaning of PPE (personal protective equipment). This guy is a workplace-related disability claim waiting to happen..
i would much rather hear him talking over this terrible music.
