Hi Ed,
Your box looks good. I will probably try an inlay in the future.

Good to hear from you Ed. I have been looking at metal amp stands at the local music store but your project gave me another option. I also have a need to store all my books, strings, tuners, recorders etc. I have a Marshall acoustic amp and will look at making one a little wider and at a height so that the controls are close to me while sitting on a stool. I have made a simple desk and shelf system in the past though I did not post the pix due to my poor tech skills. I think I can adapt those plans to a stand with shelves. Thanks again and speedy recovery! Dan Lynch Long Island NY.

Ed, I think my amp is wide and a little heavy. I will probably try to make a stand fairly wide and lower to the ground. Your measurements would be a nice start, thanks. Hear on Long Island we usually get a good snowstorm or two each year. We just got pounded with 10 to 30 inches a few days ago. I was lucky to be on the 10 inch side. At least the snowblower got a workout. We have at least 4 more weeks until we start to see some bulbs break ground. I don't rush the seasons. I like snow and heat, but not together!
