Hand tools like rasps are pretty cool stuff. a surprising few people will ever see one being used for its intended purpose which is tearing the fuck out of wood fibers!
Also many people will mistakenly call this tool a "file" however when you look at the teeth on one of these and a file its clear which is designed with killing in mind.

Rasp:http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/b/0/.....=1258551464000
What I'm doing here in the pic is taking off the sharp 90 o corners on the back of the box to match the bent plywood corners of the Leslie cab that will be going underneath this thing. Eventually the hard angle you see here got gradually more curved as I cut more angles into it.
This whole process took maybe and hour with all the fine tuning I was doing to get the right curve.
IMPORTANT!
When doing this sort of thing on plywood you need to be sure and score the top layer of wood with a utility knife or something a ways back from the cut you are making. Other wise you will see some really unpleasant tear out as the teeth grab and try to tear away just the top layer of wood!

That is really cool that you know how to work with your hands, and I am such a sucker for good cabinets. Your tool looks really interesting, and it is clear that whatever you are putting up is going to be quality stuff. I always liked custom made items as opposed to the store bought items as custom made things give a room a great look!
Hehe, Thanks. Unfortunately there isn't much of a real world market for people like me. I am pretty much reduced to a hobbyist. I look forward to getting dome quality pics up of the finished product. You should check out some of my guitar work sometime in my scraps if your into this stuff :P
I think you are right when it comes to cabinet making being reduced to somewhat of a hobby as the reality is that so much of cabinet making is done in factories nowadays. I think folks like you would find a niche market with folks building custom homes, but with the economy being so bad I am sure that such a market has dried up.
Can you do other type of woodwork besides cabinet making?
It would be neat to see the completed product!
I will check out your scraps as I do recall seeing a bunch of your guitars which looked really nice! What kind of wood do you use for them in general?

I'm actually a trained luthier. I studied in New Mexico under a man named Mike Pavou that made banjos and then went to Roberto Venn school of luthier to get hired on at Rainsong Guitars to quit after 3 years. I used to do a bit of framing (as in building sheds and such) and a bit of general carpentry back in high school though. Lately I have found it hard working on large projects because my recording studio/living room is the only space I have to do anything in. Its really lousy trying to get sawdust and metal shavings out of carpet:(
But yeah, I am kind of a jack of all trades. I need to upload some of my metal work at some point too:/

Oh wow, you really sound like someone who is a master craftsman, and based upon what I have seen thus far you have created some really wonderful things. That is too bad that your time at Rainsong did not work out, but at least you have studied under an expert and clearly are developing your own style.
I have always had a lot of appreciation for woodwork especially seeing what the Amish produce. Woodworking is an art, and one can create some really great things with the right tools and materials.
I know what you mean about getting all of that debris in your carpeting, and especially if you are in an apartment building you are probably really limited in terms of your working hours due to the noise your machinery makes.
That is neat that you can do stuff with metal, and it would be cool to see what you have done with your metal work.
