Professional results, John!!! That looks great-and even though I've
got a hardwood cab (click on the Photos) there's no "right" method.
Purists bug me...

It also takes a beating well and looks good in a studio (IMO). The
basic steps are: build the cabinet, paint the wood to seal it for
better adhesive results, cut and apply the Tolex with your favorite
adhesive (I used 3M Spray 77), and attach hardware. Spray 77 works
best when used just like contact cement.
