One thing I love about your channel is that you never do the same thing twice, or if you do, you never do it the same way. Also you show me just enough detail to understand what you're doing, so if I wanted to try it myself, I absolutely could. Great video and fun project! Thanks for sharing!

[@justinbanks2380]

"I'm going to make it my style. ... I don't really know what my style is, but it usually involves walnut." 😂

[@BestLittleStudio]

With the "Walnut" on the grill cloth I immediately think mid mid-century modern take on a Fender amp. I love it and would absolutely have it in a prominent place in my home.

[@ddutton0]

The walnut label is a chefs kiss on top!

[@CJRoe]

The walnut badge on the front of the amp cloth is the icing on the cake. Very nice work.

[@michaelsteele3922]

I really enjoy watching your videos! Your shop is wicked clean! I draw inspiration from many of your videos. I have been been a woodworker for 45 years and I learn something from your videos almost everything! I just wanted to thank you. Keep up the awesome work

[@GongaDuck]

The entire video I kept hearing, "We're having fun here! Can't we have fun here?" The project turned out great!

[@chapmanry]

"I'm not exactly sure what my style IS -" Me: Walnut. "- but it usually involves walnut." Me: Respect the walnut!

[@boydstongrove]

This video has a different vibe and I like it! Reminds me of your older videos. The housing is beautiful by the way.

[@markgoodrichart]

Looks awesome. I love the fact you can see straight through the bottom hole. The whole time I thought it would sit on the hump of the w and love that it doesn’t.

[@steveferguson1232]

I really like these videos you do. You take such a generic looking box and you elevate it to an unheard of level. And match this with your trying to personally push yourself to try new methods and technique. Thanks for bringing us along with this journey.

[@chrisbrannan3784]

That turned out awesome

[@TotalBoat]

Such a great build!! Beautifully done!

[@saggioculo5386]

I love these kind of videos. Take something ordinary and make it awesome. Really great job.

[@LukeKroeker]

This turned out great! Really neat style, cheers!

[@BradRussellisAwesome]

I love your music. But, this had a very calm and increasingly rare vibe on the tubes these days. It was more intimate. I felt way more drawn into the project and process as a result. Whatever your vibe is today or tomorrow, we're here for it.

[@makermark67]

Love it. Great piece, Dave.

[@Twinhemlocks]

I love it!! Great job

[@JoshBCamp]

Love the finished product. I liked the different pace of this video too. Little more relaxed.

[@jpalarchio]

Looks great!

[@robmills4709]

Brilliant result David

[@kellypeterson2690]

beautiful workshop!

[@philcrannick7383]

That is supper cool. Really enjoy watching as you work through the project

[@TheMontwoodMakerCompany]

Loving the new sliding doors! The added trim piece to cover the gaps is chef's kiss!

[@foos.998]

I like how you utilized so many different tools. Nice to see them in action.

[@holzapfela]

Love the casual planch on your vacuum machine

[@donaldpowell7762]

I love this video and the build! It’s like the Goodwill builds, only more expensive.

[@williamsfamilycrafts5227]

Love this! Great form. Looks amazing.

[@quincekreb6798]

Wow, such creativity and craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing.

[@49cfr]

Ever since your flip click video I’ve been wanting to do this to something around my house. I’ve got to try this with something. Always inspiring.

[@TheMarbo74]

Love it. You can alway count on David for adventure and creativity. Not afraid to take risks. Great build!

[@ChrisChartrand]

The walnut badge and the clip from Making It were the awesome. Love your style.

[@seanbrennan3675]

Thank you sir, you have once again inspired me

[@maxhallowell]

I love seeing you use all your tools. I have a a pretty cool shop but I dont have all the high tech tools you have but you inspire me and give me confidence to tackle projects out of my comfort sone

[@shreck2259]

That thing is beautiful!!

[@mikededmon]

Wow, I love this. Beautiful work.

[@sapelesteve]

Terrific project David and I am so glad that Walnut defines your style! 👍👍🔨🔨

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

One of my favorite projects you have made! Love the design, can definitely tell its a picciuto peice

[@sparrowhawk3422]

I really like making stuff up as I go like you have with this.

[@robshamel3210]

Love it! Great video and project .

[@pitsnipe5559]

Now that is really cool! Always thought it would be cool to make a walnut “case” for a laptop computer.

[@bradleverton3233]

You are one creative dude!

[@tommylein8000]

Very creative! I like it!

[@stuartsimmons956]

Frigging love this

[@PR-WoodWorkingCreations]

*The Speaker looks Awesome with the Walnut Label on it it's just Perfect!!* 🌟👍🏻 *And the Background Wood Panels looks so much Better, loved it!* 👍🏻

[@billdiehl156]

Love watching how your brain works! Another great project! Keep them coming!

[@Bubs1524]

Really cool project well done and very elegant design! Thanks for posting.

[@jimrosson6702]

What a great video I dig these videos like this where you just creat and design on the go. Just like your goodwill builds. Keep up the great work.

[@dan.w.hoover2556]

Very cool!

[@brentwalter9601]

That’s one of my favorite things you’ve made. I’ve been trying to practice rule 4.

[@TheBillPayingHobbyists]

Love it. In fact, I loved this one so much I watched and commented from two different accounts. Just because you deserve the credit. Thanks for the video.

[@masontejera506]

Love the new video style and backdrop David!

[@gregmize01]

this is badass David!

[@renaissancewoodworking]

Always envious of your access to lumber. ❤

[@acerjuglans383]

I quite like this!

[@JaredShue]

That is dope looking!! Love it!

[@CTRLALTMAKE]

This totally had a Drunken Woodworker retro vibe to it and I loved it!

[@madroot]

I love it.

[@michaeloverholt8924]

Very cool. I love it. Thanks for sharing the great idea, as always.

[@daifeichu]

I had no idea what you were going for at the beginning but dang! That came out real nice. I like that bt speaker a lot.

[@vtxrider11]

Loved this one ❤❤❤

[@dian3145]

Your videos always make you think, and adapt as necessary. Well done! Not my style, but SO beautiful 🩵

[@MichaelSciacca]

That's absolutely amazing!!!!!!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Crazy cool piece 😎

[@Matt-je5hn]

That looks awesome! Sometimes you just gotta stand on stuff!

[@joh05058]

I love it! 😃

[@joshcrawford4076]

Brass buttons would look beautiful on that piece of art!

[@pitsnipe5559]

Oh! Walnut and brass! Better than beer and chips.

[@bjsmithart]

Love it!

[@joshualloyd2915]

Dude, I love this! Reminds me of a better time when things were built to be beautiful and unique.

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Looks great I actually got the sagen w7 because of the look and size. They actually use real hardwoods on there cases you can feel it.

[@MCsCreations]

Stunning speaker, Dave! Truly amazing work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@yellowhammerwoodcrafts]

That’s cool!

[@officerockstar]

I love it

[@WexWerxScott]

Oh the amount of time I've spent in that exact area of Kencraft... Now I know why I can't find the walnut I'm looking for! 😂 Speaker looks awesome man!

[@chipplex]

I like it. 100%

[@squidskunk]

I like it.

[@robertbusek30]

I don’t really have the resources to do the vacuum lamination that you did here, but that overall shape is going to haunt me until I do something like it. Thanks!

[@emblablem]

Nice background wood panels!! Much better... 😊

[@MakeSomething]

thanks, yeah, I like it so much better!

[@schinbone0]

Woodworking is just making practical art. Great video.

[@Zarlax]

Just getting into the video. I dig the voiced over part and dood - you look slimmer. Nice work!

[@MakeSomething]

❤️❤️

[@bigpuppytools4295]

Love IT👍

[@RenewRestorations]

I have to say you are my absolute favorite Maker out there. I strive to keep up with your talent. It must be a Toledo thing, I grew up right by Kencraft!

[@MakeSomething]

❤️❤️

[@gigaphonicon]

That is definitely the most unusual shape I've ever seen ran over a joiner bravo, sir. Awesome project.

[@MakeSomething]

it was very uncomfortable running it through the first time but it worked great.

[@brendano7282]

I like it, I like it! Very interesting and attractive result. Looks much better than the original black rectangular speaker. Also like you background video stream. Cheers.

[@LaBizounerie]

Great build once again! And just as Leonardo Da Vinci used to say : "Never trust the Internet!" 😉

[@JTBaker865]

Loved that you were watching my favorite movie. "Can I have your watch when you are dead?" Also, nice job on the radio.

[@gizmobowen]

FYI, watched a different video where the person needed to glue together polystyrene. He used 3M 78 as a contact cement because it's formulated to not dissolve polystyrene. Worked really well, so you might try that next time.

[@ST-0311]

Nice.

[@christophrothert4340]

That looks awesome. I really like the form of the case. But... It would have been nicer, if you had disassembled the whole speaker and build a whole new case, not a case for the case, if you know what I mean.

[@MichaelSchlecht91]

"I love vacuum-pressed bent laminations." ☝🏻something I never thought I'd understand / wholly agree with 3 years ago when just starting out in my woodworking hobby.

[@dougc78]

Wow!

[@minuteman4199]

I like it!! How well do the control buttons work?

[@j.justin1511]

Dude, this is a really cool piece. I totally dig the non-Euclidian geometry that sparks a "WTF is that?" conversation. Well done. Cam out.

[@MakeSomething]

cam out!

[@sportflyer]

Scroll saw? Wow. I saw a video of someone using a scroll saw 😁

[@nodevit9950]

Really cool. Your skills are just always improving. For some time now I prefer your videos over Bob and Jimmy. Keep up the good work

[@bigsabertoothbunny5986]

These guys are comedy genius

[@sarinhighwind]

there is a specific spray adhesive for foam. ... I just learned this one the other day too. ... uhh,.... GOnna look that one up. 3m 78. I've avoided spray adhesive for years cause of its annoyance and mess. but also it liked to ruin whatever I was working on.

[@c.a.g.1977]

Looks awesome, David! Do the knobs work OK?

[@UncleKrusty68]

FYI - They make spray adhesives for foam

[@dyllinbernard6720]

Kinda missing the music in this one, but fantastic build as always. Never realized I liked the music that much until it wasn’t there, but still a great video and great to change things up sometimes!!!
