Cabinet builder in New England area?
« on: 16 Sep 2008, 12:36 am »
I searched and found others posing the same question for builder in other areas.  Does anyone know of any cabinet builders in New England?

Has anyone had someone else build a cabinet for them?  If so, what was your experience like?

Are you looking for speaker cabinets or equipment type cabinets?  If your looking for equipment furnishings, Timber Nation  is located in Pennsylvania and advertises here from time to time.

Daygloworange is a Toronto area cabinetmaker who's been building speaker cabs for both RAW and GR Research for some time now... his gallery is here and his site is here

Christof is another AC cabinet builder that does beautiful work, though I don't know if he's currently taking commissions. He's located in the mid-west, Indiana iirc.

I a few years back was looking to have speaker box's made for a North Creek Music Systems Manifest kit. I hunted around to find a cabinet maker and found a local wood worker /cabinet maker. I went to a few cabinet makers and showed the planes to them and talked to them until I found one that had never built a speaker cabinet but did very high end cabinets and also teaches wood working and cabinet making at a local college . He took a interest in the project looked over the planes and said He would like to do it they came out much better than I could of ever hoped for . The speakers are large 10 inch width 12 inch depth and 54 inch tall with a waterfall Bubinga veneer and a rose wood edge round over, beautiful.I would look around for a local guy save on shipping and you can watch the build as he goes talk to a few wood workers till you find one you like every town should have a few look for a craft's man to do the work .  Marc

Thanks Gordy.  You are correct, I am not taking any commission work until further notice.  Standard speaker cabs are not much different than high-end kitchen cabs, I'm sure you will find someone local, good luck with your hunt, tf121682
