Sup Fam! Long time no speak... After spending the last 10 years or so as an "office w**ker" I've come to the realization that I'm bloody bored and miss building cabs and getting out to play with them. So naturally I've started pricing up timber etc. only to be astounded by the retail cost of a sheet of MDF or Birch ply these days! Both having roughly doubled in cost - no doubt due to the spiraling inflation we're seeing at the moment . Which leads me to my question - are there still contract cab builders or flat pack suppliers active on this forum? Has the market adapted to paying higher prices for cabs or are you getting squeezed? Cheers Mikey

Tmal and South west cnc both closed some years ago. Bee (ben ) from elements audio is still around periodically but not really a regular contributor any more.
Think most of the guys who are cab builders full time are on facebook rather than here, sadly.
