So I hope this is ok to post here, I feel kind of self conscious about spamming myself like this and I know there are already some super-talented cab builders represented here like SLK and B custom cabs, but you guys have always seemed welcoming toward new builders so here goes!
Since finding myself with a glut of spare time lately (being fired from my day job) a few weeks ago, I have decided to launch headfirst into cabinet building! I present to you Dominion Custom Cabs! I've got a "real" website in the works but in the meantime you can find me on Facebook at
http://www.facebook.com/dominioncustomcabs and etsy at
http://www.etsy.com/shop/DominionCustomCabs. Here's some pics of a few completed builds. Thanks for looking and maybe you'll keep me in mind if you're looking for a new cab!
No cab too big or small!
4x12" loaded with Celestion G12t-75s
1x15" loaded with a Peavey Blue Marvel
Lowery Organ Leslie Rotary Speaker Rehouse (with OG organ grillecloth)
And a group shot for fun

Welcome to ILF.
How are you constructing the cabs? Internal bracing of a sort? Didn't see any type of finger/dado/dovetail joints on these bad dads. Not that it makes them awful or anything.
Any good deals on unloaded stuff?

The cabs are braced with 3/4" strips that are fastened to the inside of the corners with both glue and brads. Don't know if that really makes sense, I will try to post some build photos soon so you can see what I mean. But I assure you they are rock solid! The 4x12" shown here also has solid 3/4" oak strips along each corner which adds a little expense and build time but looks very nice as there is no exposed plywood edge.

That's Minwax "Cherry Blossom", probably my favorite stain color I've ever used. I hope to build a clone of my Kustom 3x15" in that color soon!

Yo the price on that 1x15 is so good. Someone should definitely get that. If I didn't have two cabs already, I would.

Sorry I missed this part the first time! The cabs I have available now are available loaded or unloaded. The prices both ways are on the Facebook page. And of course unloaded custom builds are more than welcome!

Sounds good dude! You know where to find me!

Yeah, I'm REALLY trying to talk myself out of driving down and meeting you for that 1x15 unloaded....
