Building a Very Unique Coffee Table (quiet audio)

[@sneakydemon1198]

Your build reminds me of the plans for a desk with a PC built into it that I drafted.

[@noahbwoodworks]

DIY perks did a build like that it’s awesome

[@sneakydemon1198]

@@noahbwoodworks He did and it was also great. My design is able to have two 20x24 house air filters to reduce system cleaning while accommodating either water cooling for up to three 480mm rads or even the largest of air coolers for minimum maintenance.

Might be an idea to isolate the mid from the woofer inside the enclosure, bass from the woofer will disturb the mids at higher volumes. Nice work though looks great!

[@noahbwoodworks]

Now I'm wishing that I had thought to do that lol. Awesome feedback thank you.

[@philgreen8101]

I was also thinking a distinct reverb box at the back for the woofers (and facing out at the sides) as the inevitable piling up of stuff on the bottom shelf will block the output.

[@noahbwoodworks]

@ the first designs for this had the tweeter/midranges pointed out from the sides. The people I made this for wanted it more directional because it would be at one end of the room. Lower frequencies tend not to see as many boundaries as higher ones.

That’s a brilliant idea for a coffee table…really enjoyed the build, thanks for sharing 👍

[@noahbwoodworks]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@DuricCustomWoodwork]

Great piece. I was just wondering why you glued the table top to the frame? I know it's quortersawn lumber, but you didn't give any room for the seasonal movement by gluing it.

[@noahbwoodworks]

Thanks man. I had an idea to do a hinge of some sort for the top, would make servicing the piece a whole lot easier but ultimately I wanted the piece to be as sturdy as possible. Time will tell, I was also worried for the structural integrity of the miters as I started glueing this up in the middle of winter when temperatures were well below titebonds recommended. That’s why the first few joints you see are chalky in color/texture. You’re totally right though it’ll be interesting this summer when the whole thing swells 2-5%.

[@rednecksareeveryware]

I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully it doesn't split to bad because of seasonal movement. I was also wondering if my coffee would be moving from the sound vibrations. Nice looking table.

[@noahbwoodworks]

Thanks me too. The walls of the enclosure are 3/4 inch. This thing weighs an absolute ton lol. Idk if you’d be able to drive the speakers hard enough with the little amp to shake it. Maybe a power amp but that’s overkill

[@sylvaind.6786]

What would have been an alternative of gluing the top?

[@thegoldenturtle3354]

Really cool vid!

[@noahbwoodworks]

Thanks brotha man

[@michaelbeedy372]

Beautiful work! You should create plans for this build! You could easily sell them to other woodworkers!!!

[@noahbwoodworks]

Thanks so much. Maybe in the future :)

[@ernestoquinonezramirez8925]

👏👏👏

[@icup2957]

This is so cool 👌🏻 I was wondering if you had plans for this coffee table?

[@icup2957]

Dimensions and a guide

[@noahbwoodworks]

No plans just a sketchup file and spreadsheet of speaker components. Email [e-mail] and I’ll send some useful info your way

[@icup2957]

@ thank you very much

[@philwatson24]

That is a nice idea very nicely executed. Was this for a customer or a personal project (I’m new to the channel). I reckon you could sell a few of those.

[@noahbwoodworks]

This was for a customer but I drastically underbid the project lol. Took way longer than I thought, but I liked the project so much that I wanted to secure it. Made for a nice portfolio piece. Thanks so much for the kind words.

[@ArminOsäure]

Nice piece. Two things I would de worried about: accidentally hitting the membrane specially the tweeter. Not nice to look, but some sort of grill would be mandatory for me And the all annoying wood movement. As you crossed grain direktion side apron and top/bottom board, cracking of the glue joint is not unlikely.

[@noahbwoodworks]

In my future designs I’ll be including removable grills. The people I made this table for weren’t worried about hurting the drivers. I didn’t film this but I glued bracing along every internal corner to help solidify the glue joints and hopefully help stabilize the mitered joints. Time will tell.

[@ArminOsäure]

@@noahbwoodworks if the customer want it that way - than be it. And with the bracing - let's hope the customer only comes back for a nother contract.

[@NorahsDaddyBuilds]

Great idea dude. The shots look good. What camera did you use for this video?

[@noahbwoodworks]

Thanks man, I’m using a canon m50 mk2 with a canon EF 50mm f/1.4 lens. I use a viltrox speed booster/adapter to get the EF lens down to the m50 EOS mount. Tbh if I could do it over I’d get the nicest action cam on the market and roll with that. GoPro and/or DJI with good accessories will get you anywhere you wanna go.

[@oliver299d]

you're glue turned white, it , means it was too cold, you're going to have adhesion issues. If you are working in a cold shop you want to use Wilson art glue it is the only one that won't turn white.

[@noahbwoodworks]

It sure did, I got an education on titebond during this project :D I realized that the glue joints were probably compromised after the first big glue up and used a space heater to heat the shop during the rest of them. Off camera I ended up gluing bracing into each corner of the compromised joints to sure it up and hopefully give it added strength. Time will tell on how well that worked. Thanks the recommendation on Wilson I'll give that a go soon. I've been battling the cold temperatures for a while now, makes it so hard to glue things up.

[@Стамескин-н2ы]

а если предохранитель выйдет из строя?

[@noahbwoodworks]

The power switch has a replaceable fuse that will blow before it hits the power supply.

[@Стамескин-н2ы]

@@noahbwoodworks I'm generally talking about the serviceability of the amp and all the circuitry

[@noahbwoodworks]

@@Стамескин-н2ы ah yes, the serviceability is not the most convenient. But to get to the amp is easy, you just unscrew the wooden plate with the knobs and the whole thing pops out. Then if you want to service the speakers or get inside the case that's a little more tricky. You'd flip the whole thing upside down and remove the 8 inch woofers on the bottom, then you'd have two large holes to work with.

"Very unique" is like "a little bit pregnant". It's either unique (a one-off) or it isn't.
