Intro-Amp Builders of the World!

In an odd coincidence, two of the musician blogs I follow are both reporting first time guitar amp building. Chris Randall has got an old metal heater he's turning into what will no doubt be a rattling resonating tiny monster, and Rob Hampton is building a copy of the short lived tone classic Marshall 18Watt.

Also they're both from the Pacific Northwest, but there the similarities in amps and artists stop.
