Wow, thank you! I greatly appreciate the kind words and you following along 🙏😃

[@80211Denver]

Really enjoy everything about all your videos. The cats to the tools are cherry but what really gets me is you're one of the few who do more than just shop process/ improvement projects. Actual furniture and fixings for the home that I want to build, not just prepare to build one day. It's all those shop trick videos with an actual "thing" at the end.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Thank you so much for your comment and feedback! I genuinely appreciate it. 🙏🏻👊🏻

I’ve been looking forward to this video for a while now, Keith; since you mentioned it on the podcast. And, It looks incredible and far exceeds my expectations. I really thought that it would “just” be made from walnut and have a few details, but you’ve blown it out of the park my good man! Time and again, you show us how far you’re willing to go for details and a willingness to push yourself and learn. This is a testament to you and should also prove to yourself that you do indeed have what it takes to make something unique and beautiful. I tip my hat to you.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Thank you so much, Chris!! This was definitely an exercise in creative growth for me, as well as technique and execution. There are a lot of things I would do different next time, but we all know I’ll never build another of these 😜😂

[@chm1701]

@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking. No problem, Keith. I found this fascinating and at the end of the day, when don’t we make a mistake when making something; it’s what makes it unique. The main thing, is that it’s sorted and the end result looks amazing. Keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ll do next; even if it’s not another tambour cabinet 😂

This was also a master class on the most diverse range of fasteners and adhesives. We just needed a cabineo and some hot hide glue to cover everything!

This is fantastic woodworking. From an audio perspective, I noticed you said the speaker was lacking bass. Small speakers like this typically rely on a ported or passive radiator design to extend bass response. From what I can tell, the drivers are not enclosed in any specific way. Sealing up the enclosure could help, but knowing exactly how to do that requires a bunch of calculations, but Dayton audio does provide the driver parameters you would need. There is also software available to help you figure out how the size of the enclosure, size of port, and speaker all figure into the final sound.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Hey thanks, Michael! I greatly appreciate the comment and the insight into the audio issues. Maybe on the next version I will do some more research. Thanks again!

[@dirtfpv]

Awesome project!! So many cool techniques here. Smoke while soldering is normal. It's the flux burning up. Also... aside from putting maybe a dab of solder on the iron before you start soldering, the iron goes on what you're soldering, and you shouldn't really have to touch the solder itself to the iron. Solder is attracted to heat, so if you get the connector hot, then touch the solder to the connector, it should get pulled in. If you touch the iron with the solder, sometimes you end up with more solder on the iron than on what you're soldering. You'll notice that your first solder blob is sitting on top of the connector itself, rather than looking more like it's part of that connector. That just means the connector itself didn't get hot enough.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Thanks for all the great tips! I don’t see a lot of soldering in my future, but I definitely need some more practice getting the technique dialed in a little bit more. Your tips will definitely help. Thanks again! 👍🏻

[@dirtfpv]

When it comes to scalpels, an 11 blade (which is what your xacto knife is effectively) is designed for stabbing or push puncturing whatever membrane you’re cutting into. The 10 blade however is curved along the edge and is designed for slicing through whatever membrane you’re cutting into. So for doing the longer slices through the copper leaf that was on the tambour door, you’d have more control with a 10 blade.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Great tip! I’ll check it out. Thank you!! 👍🏻
