Anyone sporting a woodie?

Short for Clampowski, IIRC.
This used to be my main amp for more than 12 years:
A total joy to play (and to look at!).

That's an impressive array of clamps! I need to step up my game.Thanks @LivingMyDream !
That said, I am very well tooled for electronics... For woodworking, it's a much different story : a router, a jigsaw, a sander, a battery-powered screwdriver/drill, a handful of files, two manual planes... That's all !
Aw, of course : add also a bunch of presses and clamps for the glued assemblies !
A+!
That's the Big Clampowski to you!Short for Clampowski, IIRC.

I’d check out that show, just not too close to the stage.

It sticks thru the case.
Does it fold down to fit? Wave of the future.

Back then, I built a Heathkit amp and put it in a box with a 6” speaker from Lafayette Electronics. Mine was pretty crude, made from 1x10 pine screwed and glued with 1x1 inside corners and a half open back. I sanded and stained it. The speaker grille was burlap from a coffee bag stapled to the baffle. The staples were hidden by pine molding from the lumber yard. It was a learning experience for sure but not much of an amp. My first real amp was an Ampeg Reverberocket. I’m 73 and retired now. I have a great amp but woodies are a little harder to come by.

Oh great. Now we’re relicing amps.

Have a few. A 35 watt Kendrick Lion 7 in black walnut V-front with half blind dovetails.
A '57 Twin in Bloodwood with half blind dovetails.
A '52 5C3 Deluxe in mahogany with through dovetails. I love this little screamer.

I do speakers as well, but just used furniture grade plywood for them. Scan Speak Revelator mid-woofers with Hiquphon OW1 tweeters. 1-1/2" thick cabinets all around. A 2" dia. port 7" long tunes the enclosure to 42 Hz with an F3 of 39 Hz. Not bad for two-ways.

That, son, is a 67-year-old amplifier that has been a professional tool all its life.
It has worked hard and bears the scars of having done so.
It's neither been babied nor thrashed unnecessarily.
