Hi everybody.
 
This weekend I started to build my soundsystem. We did 4 hog scoops over the weekend. Just wanted to share some pics from the build.
 
Next up we´re going to build a modified version of the MT122. I´ll add pics from that build as well.

Is this a rethorical question?
 
Nevertheless, that's some quality carpentry going on there!
Wouldn't want to be the one to move those around though...

Thanks! I´m fortunate to have friends that are carpenters and have access to both tools and a woodshop.
 
They´re pretty heavy but not as heavy as anticipated. We´ve put som wheels on them so they´re easier to move around.

I haven´t put them on a scale yet but I guess they´re about 130-140 kg unloaded. When loaded they probably weigh around 150-160 kg.

22 mm mdf weigh about 18 kg/m2. One sheet weigh 52 kg and we´ve used about 10-11 sheets for all 4 cabs.
 
They´re stable as hell though...

 Loads of layers of paint and they should be fine. Also if they get scratched during transit to the bare wood make sure it dont get wet and repair the scratch straight away. Quality build and Im sure you wore a mask whilst cutting and sanding!!!!
