firs pics of my rig build

Ive just sold my old rig and was planning on making 8 1850's like yourself, how much has this project cost you in terms of ply?? how many sheets is it taking you per bin??

thanks

My friend and I made the template for the xtros yesterday, the 10mm scrap ply I used wasn't exactly ideal but a bit of glue worked into the edges on the corners and any weak spots to harden it seems to have sorted it out. We will be using it for making the cab sides on our next workday.

As for the amount of ply needed for the 1850's, I think it worked out to less than 6 or 7 sheets for 8 cabs, it's a while since I bought it and I cant remember for sure, with some creative cutting it may even be managed with 5-6 sheets. I bought marine ply as beech was not available locally.

I already have the tops,bottoms,backs & sides for the xtros but still need to get the internal horn sections cut to size now I have the correct measurements to fit my plan, 25 seperate sections is gonna be a lot of plane work

Template and tools used.

And my work bench

You can also see some of the 1850 template behind.

Not a great job but it worked and I learned a lot making it so the xtro template was a lot easier.

I'll add some more pics next week, hopefully..

I would be very grateful if those of you who have mentioned having an xtro/1850 rig would post your delay settings for me so I have a somewhere to start without having to tax my own brain too much working it out. I have the settings for a xtro/punisher rig but they wont help much as the punisher horn looks much longer than the 1850.

will the B&C tbx100 work ok in these cabinets?

Nice build. I am building 4 1850s. I am assembling the 4th some time this week.

	Yes we used Tee-Nuts and M8 pan head screws, it's worth buying Allen key bolts if you can find some long enough as getting to them when fitting can be a struggle, you need a minimum of 40mm long, I found 45mm the best size. Work has been progressing on my xtros and I shall add some more pictures very soon, I almost have everything ready to start assembling the 1st pair.
