I thought I would post some pictures of my latest amp build. This my 3rd tweed cover using hide glue. I am not a pro, but I am happy with the results!

Use a low gram strength hide glue for extra open time. Also use a hair dryer to heat up the wood a bit for extra time. I use an old coffee pot warmer for glue. Have a bucket of water and a sponge for cleaning hands and tools. A veneer roller, some good small scissors and razor blades are also needed.

This has to all be done at once. Heat everything up with a blow dryer so the hide glue has a little extra set up time.
