[@itzelmartinez6872]

Dustin Penner what are the dimensions?

[@oldmanpottering]

At first I was put off with the CNC but the design was awesome, much nicer than the many similar designs getting around, thanks for sharing 👍

[@papah5193]

I love contrast in the layers of plywood and the hardwood

[@whitewolf8758]

Looks good! Would it have been easier to cut out the baltic birch on the bandsaw rather than tje cnc?

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks! Nothing is easier than the CNC. I needed to cut the hole for the phone anyways and I wanted the cavity to be perfectly symmetrical. While its possible on the band saw, its not easier.

[@TyMoser]

I like the sandwiched plywood but I agree with whitewolf8758. I'm thinking you were looking for an excuse to use your CNC. :)

[@dpmakestuff]

I'm always looking for an excuse to use it, that's no secret. It produces such nice cuts that minimal sanding is needed and I knew the through hole would line up perfectly. Looks like I'll be needing to CNC a jointers mallet too ;)

[@TyMoser]

Dustin Penner I'd like to see that! You could probably get all sorts of fancy.

[@sierradelta95]

love the design and finish and video was enjoyable to watch just need to start watching vids that don't use so many hi tech tools. haven't got half the stuff in this video. Always attempt to build with what I have though. you can imagine how they turn out. Lol!

[@CraigWhiteIllustration]

Amazing work man... love how you mixed the walnut and ply.

[@martinshoosterman]

Your videos are amazing dude keep up the good work! for your next project you should buy something like a speaker and take it apart then build a much higher quality casing for it out of wood.

[@dpmakestuff]

+martinshoosterman I have some PC speakers that I wanted to upgrade, but I'm afraid of ruining the sound. I'm not a sound engineer so it would be a complete shot in the dark as far as improving the sound goes. Thanks for watching!

[@martinshoosterman]

Dustin Penner I don't mean to improve the sound. What I meant was simply to replace the ugly plastic casing with a handmade wooden casing.

[@Realism91]

+Dustin Penner Try making a 4th orders band-pass subwoofer design, they're kickass, Corsair SP2500 speakers have that design and they shake my whole house without distorting the bass. The design reduces bass distortion.

[@michaelbedell6523]

Not having the automated routing system, can start use the design concept using day to day tools. The middle different wood is a great touch!

[@rlowle1228]

Nich. Simplest design ive seen so far. Seems like you could mass produce those very easily.

[@AverageGuyWoodworking]

Great job Dustin, nice warm sound.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks. I hope the sound improvements comes through in the video. It's a lot better.

[@codacreator6162]

Love this design! Great job. Thanks for sharing!

[@rogerthat24]

Awesome work and design. CNC is fancy!

[@lissaannan3250]

Just beautiful!! and great to watch💜

[@Aprendeartesania]

Bonito y práctico, me gusa mucho. Buen trabajo y diseño.

[@astralhexencounter8028]

great idea. looks really slick

[@KennethSievers]

Nice looking design!

[@marcoincheosorio3218]

Falta explicar cómo elaborar el trabajo

[@goose93000]

What are the dimensions?

[@prpaulo1]

hello good night friend, beautiful speaker you made. is it possible to provide the design or template of this box? since already thank you very much and congratulations.

[@Castrowoodworks]

Simple yet very nice!

[@RoyceMeredith]

Great job! I love the contrasting woods.

[@dpmakestuff]

I cant get enough of contrasting wood it seems. Thanks!

[@ThePatriotPath]

Hi. I'm a new woodworker with a question. I see 8 clamps were used around 0:58. Is that necessary for two small pieces of wood? Or are you just using extra clamps to be safe... and because you have them. I ask because I only have four clamps (two 6" and two 12") and I'm wondering if I'm taking a risk by only using four for the same type of glue up.

[@Ideador]

Very good work, congratulations, thanks for sharing, by the way, the blue ribbon is for the glue dripping, i guess?

[@leesmith9467]

You didn't. It was a comment to warn other novices like me that this is for advanced DIYers or pros. Nice project, though.

[@TPYXIDIS]

the small brick stops the speaker from coming all the way down

[@RickMcQuay]

Does in the inside curve have a basis? (logarithmic?)

[@dpmakestuff]

+Rick McQuay None whatsoever.

[@RickMcQuay]

Thanks for the response. Love the design.

[@WoodArt-IvanildoGoncalves]

Wonderfull!!!!

[@barretthageman3350]

That has to be the simplest design I have seen. Great work, and nice sound.

[@dpmakestuff]

I think that's a compliment. Thanks?

[@barretthageman3350]

Very much a compliment. Well done.

[@caixasgames6691]

Show 👏👏👏

[@kileyfamily467]

*good

[@ryanmelvey8764]

i wonder if one could make a mini guitar like this

[@eltripodo6024]

It kinda sounded like it mad it quieter

[@jmpattillo]

Great idea! I've got an x-carve coming and was thinking about making something like this. I cringed at bit at how close your fingers were to the blades on your machines at times.

[@dpmakestuff]

I notice that when editing. My fingers are usually in a good place, it just looks bad. The speed also doesn't help. Sometimes it's sped up to 20x.

[@ecaff9515]

Beautiful Thanks for sharing

[@SilencedShotgun]

Cool design, nice tools, love the way you applied the glue, but in my opinion the sound sounded flatter and almost like it was compressed. Also, i think you may need one more clamp :P

[@dpmakestuff]

+SilencedShotgun Yeah the video doesn't do it justice. It's much clearer and louder in person.

[@ludwigbarnes3058]

Thanks Dustin, now I have some ideas for some reclaimed cedar I have laying around! - Any probs with your rigid table saw and blade alignment? I have the same saw. I'm sure you use more frequently than I..

[@dpmakestuff]

It needed some adjustment. The manual goes over how to square it up, it just takes a bit of time but its worth it.

[@barbaramuniz8276]

Oh God! Did you used an CNC to make this incredible desing? I'm from Brazil and we NEED more channels as yours! Congrats, your work is really awesome!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thank you very much! I'll keep pumping out content, you keep watching!

[@Bubblegoose]

I made one of these about half way last year, however, the top and bottom lamination's have shrunk compared to the play. Did you have this issue with your's?

[@dpmakestuff]

+ollie young no troubles like that so far. Maybe your wood wasn't fully acclimatized when you built it?

[@CharlesLi1]

I like how you embraced the plywood edge. Looks great! I've been seeing more and more wax/oil finishes. How long can you go before having to reapply on a piece like that? Does it last longer than a year?

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks! On a cutting board I would say it lasts a month. On this piece, maybe once a year... if that.

[@dickiebrown3110]

I'm calling that awesome.

[@elliottj4746]

Now i want a cnc router thats bad ass

[@BookofIsaiah]

Really nice idea and design! What is the finish that you used with the heat gun? Great looking build!!!

[@dpmakestuff]

+BookofIsaiah (Matt B) Thank! Additional info is in the description, but it's beeswax and mineral oil.

[@TonyDiSarro]

Super Slick. I liked it alot.

[@jc2fly]

Great idea. I made one today and my wife loved it!

[@nithinr8962]

Hey can you give a guide to make the central piece design....dimension....can we get a template of that shape..

[@mikemigliara4538]

Nice job. What was that you used for the finish?

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks! Everyone is always curious about my finish. I'll do a video on how to make it tomorrow. I'm almost out. It's beeswax and mineral oil. Food safe.

[@leesmith9467]

Not for novices. I doubt many of us have CNC capabilities.

[@dpmakestuff]

Lee Smith where did I say it was?

[@mulekickhandmadeguitars8465]

You can easily build this with common hand tools.

[@basuramanya]

Very nice look. Was the clamp removal an ode to Frank Howarth? I was think of making some the like this for a gift. Do you think cheaper woods would work the same?

[@dpmakestuff]

I did the stop motion and i didn't like it. I quickly watched one if franks videos and realized he ads sound effects. That makes all the difference. I don't think wood quality would effect audio quality. Thanks!

[@AguapaTerra]

+Dan aka Basuraman i dont think it would make much of a difference, but hard vs soft wood does reflect sound differently(personal experience).

[@nithinr8962]

can you make a template of the model..can you tell the dimension for cutting the middle part...

[@dpmakestuff]

This was over two years ago. I couldn't tell you anything for certain about this project! Sorry.

[@nithinr8962]

its alright..

[@556suppressor]

What are the dimensions of the cell phone slot?

[@dpmakestuff]

iPhone 6 sized

[@waelalabrouni2669]

this is nice and simple

[@orion1712]

What stain did he use?

[@able2tell118]

Empty toilet tissue rolls do the same thing .

[@rudolphbondefangerer5513]

+Able2tell Yes, and if you roll some used toiletpaper back on them... so what?

[@rodrigocordero4225]

What are the measures Tks

[@edtimper2032]

Very nice.

[@deovanka9532]

What wooden do you use for this dude?

[@dpmakestuff]

Look no further than the description of the video...

[@VisinskiRadoviBeograd]

Nice.

[@charlesholland6851]

i think i will try building this

[@dpmakestuff]

+Charles Holland Cool! send me pictures if you do!

[@steadyrm]

Or you could just use a bowl

[@dpmakestuff]

Eddy Priest or you can have some pride in the things you do. Totally your call though.

[@dpmakestuff]

nah.

[@chrisstewart8259]

@@dpmakestuff one day, mate, one day,,,,,' I pushed my luck just like you and lost the end of my finger. It's not necessarily the blade that catches you when you're steady, it's when you move your feet or stumble and grab out steady yourself - and you grab the blade without knowing how your hands got there. One day, mate, one day. Good vid besides that. Well done.

[@dpmakestuff]

[@thatguythatdoesstuff7448]

Is the bass boost button on the underside?

[@dpmakestuff]

There is no button. It's made of wood and has no electronics.

[@thatguythatdoesstuff7448]

Dustin Penner My attempt at humor fails again! I was being facetious, but I liked and subscribed if that's any consolation.

[@dpmakestuff]

+Theball Player I got the attempt at humour. The audio in the video doesn't do it justice. It does sound much fuller in person. Thanks for the sub.

[@kengo8311]

what is the blue tape at 1:55 for?

[@dpmakestuff]

+pingu 16 to keep the glue from getting on the inside edges.

[@kengo8311]

+Dustin Penner Thanks for the answer. I was thinking of making this as a personal project. Where is the small block at 2:37 supposed to be?

[@dBro4769]

+pingu 16 The middle, I'm sure. The point being for it to prop the speaker up off the bottom.

[@moisesluna3624]

[@tutorialinater]

Hi Dustin , I was wondering what finish you were using and why you heated it up with a heat gun?

[@dpmakestuff]

tutorialinater Here is the finish kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5LFpaqpoJiHbLM I use the heat gun to liquify the wax and make it spred around easier and absorb faster.

[@tutorialinater]

Makes sense now, I've been thinking of making some beeswax and mineral oil finish

[@ZombieNazis]

What exactly is that you're using for a finish?
