http://web.me.com/pwpmixer/pwpmixer/sound_cart.html Here is the construction process of my new sound cart, built by Brett Grant-Grierson. He has built carts for Richard Lightstone, Joe Foglia, David Chornow, many for himself, and others. It’s a (heavily) reinforced structure based on a Magliner vertical frame. I’ll post more pictures as I mount the gear and get it ready for work...
