Amp Cabinet Builders?

I have a Blackstar HT-20 Studio that I'm giving serious consideration to converting to a head/cab system. I have some CAD skills, so I'm going to draft a box (etc.) for it. The chassis of the HT-20 Studio is really small, so I want to design something that "just fits" around the chassis. In other words, I want this head to have a small footprint. My problem is that I don't have any woodworking skills (nor the tools or space), so I need to find a custom builder.

Can anyone recommend a custom cab builder?

Thanks!!!

I wouldn't necessarily create the smallest possible package...especially for the speaker cabinet. For the head, think about ventilation.

I own two cabs from StageCraft. I highly recommend contacting Anthony. Incredibly well-built and great looking cabs that don't break the bank.
