Thanks! I am from the UK and our project is a passive speaker! This is awesome! A really helpful video 😊

7:00 the Milwaukie Hole Dozer General Purpose Bi-Metal Hole Saw Set is what I use. I wish I'd bought these decades ago.

[@boydstongrove]

Thanks for the suggestion! I looked them up and added them to my Amazon list. Milwaukee sure is proud of those things !🤣

[@thumbwiz]

Great video. And congrats on the significant increase in subscribers!

[@boydstongrove]

Thanks! Yes we’re super excited! Just monetized and became Amazon Affiliates. Getting closer and closer to making this a full time thing. Thanks for stickin with us!

Nice build, thanks for the video.

[@boydstongrove]

Thank you!

What size are your blanks you started with to make this speaker?

[@boydstongrove]

AUGH! Can’t believe I forgot to put that in there! 🤣 5”x5”x1/2” I based it off my phone size and what I thought might look good. If you have a bigger phone, you might want it bigger.

What brand forstner bits do you use? I know most of them are recommended for a drill press I'm looking for ones that would work great in my drill looks like you have a good set

I bought the larger Irwin set because it’s one of the few that includes sizes over 2” and it has multiples of the more common sizes. I think I featured the exact set on my “Woodworking gifts under $100” video, should be a link in the description there. Thanks for watching!

[@bethupson2492]

Awesome thank you. I'll look into them. I started doing wood working and crafts to make extra money for my rescue animals.

[@boydstongrove]

@@bethupson2492 oh awesome! What do you rescue?

[@bethupson2492]

I rescue unwanted and injured farm birds.

[@boydstongrove]

@@bethupson2492 Huh, that's a very interesting and specific group of animals. I hope it goes great with making products to raise money!

[@Douglas-hw8is]

Awsome! Thanks 👍

[@boydstongrove]

Thanks for watching!

How long did it take you realistically to make this?

[@boydstongrove]

That's hard to say, because my plans changed mid build, so I was kind of making it up as I went along. But, ultimately, it's just a stack of wooden squares with the centers cut out and another stack with circles cut out of the center. Now that I've made one, I could probably knock them out pretty quick. I did leave it overnight to dry though.

our design work is to do a passive speaker, that's really help me a lot actually.

[@boydstongrove]

That's awesome! I would love to see how it turns out.
