How do you fasten your miters? I use the Festool Domino

Nice work.

When I set my Mk III on a 1x12 cabinet with a handle the reverb tank hits so I have 2) 3/4 x 3 inch maple boards sprayed black to set on so my amp isn't resting on an angle.
Or I take the handle off the cab![]()
My idea is 45 the corners like yours and then from the side do 3 domino joints then sand and finish. I think it will have a cool look and take the weight of the Mk III.
I have been using Tite Bond III glue and sometimes the clear gorilla glue. I moisten the ends that I am glueing and get really strong joints. Sometimes on a job I find I use my tongue if I can't get a damp ragBob Savage":171cxpkt said:jlbaxe":171cxpkt said:I have been thinking of doing this for my Mesa Mk III but spec it an inch or 2 higher for the reverb tank.

Sounds like a good plan to me! Miters, even though considered an end grain joint, are pretty darned strong. The domino of course adds an extra measure of confidence.

Do u leave the space on top for heat dissipation or purely for size closer to traditional heads?
Oh... And I'm gonna relic the heck out of my Savage cutting board!
