You did wonderful on the amp.  Bicycle chain guard!   

For lessons, go to page top, hover mouse over 'Resources' and click on 'How to play.'   Lots of lessons.  My fave is knotlenny's CBG 101.

Wes Carl, who commented below, and Maddog are two builders with some interesting and excellent amps.   You can find them and view their photos.

Uncle John, The guts are a auxiliary mains powered stereo computer speakers. I ditched one of the little speakers and housed the base and the other one in a plywood box that I made to fit the Old French bicycle chain guard. sounds pretty good! I have only made one guitar so far so this is just for testing them out ..........can't play a note by the way! I'll post up a few more piccies of the build.

Paul, that thing is absolutely beautiful.   I assume it is a time machine.   Is that correct?   Okay, I know it is an amp and one of the prettiest I've seen.  Please, when you post, give us some description and story.   What are those pieces?  How does it sound?  What are the guts of the amp?
