What is the blue material on top of the table saw? Im new to woodworking

[@ford1546]

when you spend so much time on the box and do such a good job it is strange that others are not of the same quality.

[@marlinmelendez-laboymrs.pr9573]

I loved it!!

[@ronlheureux7623]

@@ford1546 Well, not at Walmart prices. It really depends on which brand you might choose. For years there was a speaker sales, repair and component warehouse near my home. I loved to go there and pick out well-made cabinets and some or all of the speakers, grill cloths and other components. I could take a look and listen to their finished speakers that were build of the same cabinets and available speakers simply to aid my decisions. I wound up giving several speaker pairs to my friend and family. Sadly, like so many American specialty businesses, they folded when I wasn't looking.

[@WoodworkingCraftsman]

Good polish!

[@Legotronics]

Turned out great... great work with the editing of the video as well.

[@markrowland5393]

Lovely job, John. I admire your patience and attention to detail.

[@JohnHeisz]

Thank you!

[@HarryWizard]

I just realised how much camera work and editing goes into these videos, thanks for this amazing video john, you're amazing!

[@nfix09]

blew my mind in one of his videos where he showed that all the POV shots are made using a camera mounted on a mouth grip he made, and he can't see very well while using the rig LOL

[@imortaldeadead]

Watching you build and how you over come some of the mistakes, or problems is always great to watch. I learn so much. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@gizmobowen]

As another who has dabbled in speaker building, seeing you put the round over on the ports is like watching someone peel the protective film off a piece of electronics. Pure ecstasy!

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Rounding over the inside of the ports was a really nice touch!

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks :)

[@viniciusmartin]

This is a beautiful job, my grandfather was a carpenter and I admire people who have this gift.

[@BaconSniffer578]

The routing on the pipe makes it look sick!

[@KipdoesStuff]

Your patience when it comes to sanding and applying finish is t be commended. Great work Mr. Heisz.

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks Kip :)

[@Grumpywhiskers]

Your hand positioning when using the table saw makes my spine tingle.

[@fastecp1]

I was thinking the same thing the whole time

I wasn't thinking the same thing the whole time

[@bencoleman1893]

Another great build John thanks so much for sharing it with us!

[@BRUXXUS]

That painting and finishing looked incredibly satisfying. Also, really, REALLY like the look of the grills you ended up with!

[@johannes.f.r.]

Looks very good. I always enjoy these jack of all trades type videos. I usually only do the woodworking side and don't really feel like getting into metal work or electronics anymore, but admire people that can do it all.

[@zemont]

Damn that ceiling camera setup is crazy!! The mic, the stand, the light! It's awsome

[@JR0405]

He has a couple videos on it

[@victorzhizhiyan785]

Superb job! A man with golden hands!

[@TheGrantAlexander]

That speaker sounds exactly like my cellphone speaker! 😉 Great job👍🍻

[@jacobcooper1642]

Mine had a lot of base with this speaker

[@allencummings7564]

[@StopaskingformynameYouTube]

strange, it sounds just like logitech speakers here! What kind of magic is this?

Wrong, that speakers sounds exactly like MY speakers

Great video ,I love the detractors -you never see their projects .I am a boat builder and I am sure that this project would satisfy 99% of people .

[@NEEVAnurag]

I like the fact that you don't use dado blades as your table saw won't allow it. Here, in India we don't even get dado blades. Also hertening to see that one still makes mistakes after years of woodworking. Thanks for showing them. You could have easily hidden them. Showing them gives more confidence and enthusiasm to those who are starters. I learnt that one can paint over a PU coat.

[@Amit-sp4qm]

So do you do carpentry? Nice to know that!

[@NEEVAnurag]

@@Amit-sp4qm Yes Amit I have been doing carpentry for the last three years.

[@Amit-sp4qm]

@@Amit-sp4qm I am from Jamshedpur. I work professionally for building my own stuff. Hope to sell in future but not in a commercial way, only as a Craftsman who does not want to dilute his standards of craftsmanship.

@@NEEVAnurag nice .. I am from NCR .. would be great to connect ..

[@tenspeedtears]

Excellent build. I appreciate the fact that you made your own templates and hand routed instead of just throwing the piece on a CNC. Thanks, man!

Wow I freaking LOVE your boom mic and camera rig! makes a lot of sense when you shoot so much in one room.

[@balensydney]

Great video, i like how you make mistakes and show them on video...makes this video feel genuine and while i am no where near a craftsman like your self, it gives me confidence to try it my self.

[@cloakofanonymity]

Beautiful work. The meticulous attention to detail is outstanding. Bravo sir. Bravo.

ecellent! you are truly a craftsman, an engineer, and an artist! thanks for this John.

[@Vandel212]

What I find most impressive is he still has all 10 fingers. Might I recommend a push stick? You are clearly capable enough to make one.

[@styloroc2000]

I hate to be the safety police guy but that set up and his feed discipline just give me the heebie jeebies, after witnessing a guy lose four fingers on his hand and a discharge from the army, no riving knife, push stick, wood surface -- no way.

[@spdcrzy]

He DOES have a push stick. IDK why he's not using it here.

[@dazuk1969]

Hey dude...i been keeping an eye out for you since you did the scale pyramid build. You are a proper craftsman and the speaker in vid looks amazing. Most wouldn't realise how much time and work is involved. Really well explained, the editing, sound levels (which most uploaders get badly wrong) and general production is of a high order. Respect, peace.

[@FritsvanDoorn]

Speechless. So beautiful. You are a true master.

[@BucketOfBlueStuff]

yoo the chamfered edge around the inside of the pipes actually looks so nice top quality craftsmanship here 👌

[@thorlo1278]

Awesome build! Loved the speaker grills, they really set the sound bar off.

[@lasermanofphysics4570]

Although very visually pleasing, those types of grills can cause music distortion and damping of the sound. This is caused by solid reflections from the back surface of the grill toward the sound generating speakers.

[@planetelektro2870]

the job is easier with complete tools. You are the best

[@Jammerk40]

Pretty good size soundbar! But I guess it's what you want and the size of the TV! Sounds good! Enjoyed the video!

[@arthurdanielles4784]

Oh and I am currently building an audio rack/cabinet for my 6 hifi separates plus turntable.. Using recycled timber (Old walnut veneered wardrobe from a thrift/charity store) cut to size etc and black glass inserts.. so far so good.. 👍

[@gabrielevalletta7670]

Beautiful job John!

[@akquicksilver]

Excellent build John !

[@jailer23044]

I like the way the grills turned out, much better than the first design. I used to build subwoofer boxes for car audio, we always used 3/4" MDF and caulked the inside with silicone to seal it. The body filler is a great way to patch up MDF if you're painting it.

[@JamesBiggar]

Looks and sounds great!

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks!
