Making Shoe Shaped Speakers

[@strube8]

"Pine is not very delicious" Would love to see a video of you ranking your top 5 woods by deliciousness.

[@maeve615]

Funny enough, for most pine trees the soft white layer just under the bark is edible ..and doesn't taste bad really.

[@leop9021]

I talked to my doctor about your videos. I told her that your videos are no less then ten times more effective than my anti-depressants. When ever I have trouble getting out of bed I simply watch one of your videos. After the video is finished I feel able to leave the bed. If it is a weekday then I head off to work and try to apply as much passion to my engineering as you do to your art work. If it is a weekend morning I force myself to go into my workshop and there I try and be as creative as I can be, even when the task is as mundane as fixing my wife's blender. Perhaps someday I will try somthing more artistic. So, in closing, thank you very much for making and sharing your videos. I don't imagine that you set out to make them in an effort to battle depression half a world away. Nevertheless they do, and for that me and my family thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Sincerely, Leo

"Don't think it should be too complicated." This is what you say when making a square box to put speakers into.

[@shitmonkey]

yep

[@sdwa8742]

I think everyone has weird, cool ideas that they will just never follow through with. Thank you for always following through with yours.

[@alanmuddypaws3865]

Brilliant! I can imagine Elvis singing 🎵 "but don't you, step on my Bluetooth shoes"🎵

[@StrangeDuck]

this comment deserves way more upvotes

[@NicholasTamachaski]

What makes you look at a speaker and think "that should be a shoe?". I love all of your videos

[@narcoleptic8982]

Or vice versa

[@urituchmanpigeon]

Honestly, I just wanted to make speakers and my shoes where laying around and I thought, "yeah, that could work"

[@NicholasTamachaski]

@@urituchmanpigeon, well your ideas keep working because I come back every time to watch your amazing videos. Keep up the good work my friend and I'll keep watching.

[@squibblez2517]

I love how, though 90% of your work is done by hand, you aren't afraid to use power tools in the rare instances where it's necessary.

[@neilredelinghuys3263]

Tip: after masking, you may hit the workpiece with some clear coat and let it dry. Then paint second colour. This helps with bleeding/wicking under the tape. They look supe cool!

[@TheScaryName]

This is (as usual) very cool. The one tip I would give you is: after masking, give it another coat of white to seal the mask, then paint the black...this will stop the "bleeding" of color under the mask.

[@cuttwice3905]

"Four more of these baba ganoushes and we can make an omelet." Sounds delicious.

[@MuscarV2]

I loved that! Gonna start saying "one more of these baba ganoushs"

[@adelheidsnel5171]

Epic. Just epic😂

[@nssheepster]

Yet another build where my response is a mixture of "What did he just-?", "Why would you even-?", and "That's really freaking cool."

[@neuralprobe]

perfect for soul music!

[@thomasarussellsr]

Gotta be swing music from wing tips, right?

[@paint4pain]

Read "Shoe Shaped Sneakers" I thought that made sense.

[@maherzad]

Nothing ever makes sense in the Uri Tuchman world

[@rodricbr]

@@maherzad true

[@edwardchester1]

Glad it wasn't just me. Was quite looking foward to seeing how he modified some sneakers to look like that.

[@bhkgraphics7471]

same lol

[@anonthe-third2367]

Speaker shaped sneakers

[@SensualWhirl]

Some don’t suffer from madness, they enjoy it.

[@MrCurstesy]

When I watch Uri, I get this overwhelming sense that if we were friends in real life, I would be endlessly fascinated by him and he would be completely bored by me.

[@denegillespie5767]

Now you mention it, I feel the same

[@requited2568]

I think you have a few loose screws but they seem to be the right screws to have loose. Great Project.

[@mohamedaly4606]

Your chisels are always so sharp its a pleasure just to watch them cut

[@SwitchAndLever]

- Oh yeah, big deal, just shoving a pair of speakers into some shoes isn't a big deal. - (actually sculpts two wooden shoes) 😱 Great work man!

[@Guru_1092]

Oh my god he didn't just make one shoe speaker. He made a pair. The madman.

[@LordBarrington]

would be pretty cool to make the "laces" out of audio cables, with the aglets being the 3.5mm audio jacks

[@johnkennedyswenja]

Your craftsmanship is over the top, Fred Astaire would love to own these shoes.

[@funnydawg25]

"And here we have an artifact from the year 2020...some say the ancients used footwear as sources of musical playback, others assert that the creator of this pair was insane. The jury is still out."

[@NHope-md8ds]

Everything you touch turns to gold. You are incredibly and absurdly creative, talented, and intelligent. I envy your knowledgeability and skill!

[@harmlesscreationsofthegree1248]

It is indeed a joy to watch and listen to somebody using properly sharpened tools, I thank you

[@jimmydiresta]

So good !!

[@MrTapanes]

Your craftsmanship, skill and ingenuity, really are inspirational.

[@supermegazeldaland]

My brain: wow that's a lot of craftsmanship and skill that looks really hard to do I'd be so nervous.... Video:contiues* Me: HE MADE 2 OF THEM?

[@tylerblayne4918]

My thought exactly. Lol all I could think was wtf did this second come in at! I was very surprised

[@wollaminfaetter]

You need a pair don't you?

[@manuelamendes5766]

Yeah I had the same thought

[@thomasarussellsr]

@@manuelamendes5766 yup, a left and a right. Two feet, and two ears. The thing you'll be keft wondering later is... Was God planning on these speakers when He gave us both two feet AND two ears? And, was He expecting Uri to build them for us?

[@hamedzahedmanesh368]

Uri's projects are simultaneously driven by the forces of ridiculousness and brilliance.

[@TheBorderRyker]

Man. I just love everything you do! One of my absolute favourite channels on the KZbin thingy. 👌🏻

[@TheOwlman]

Whilst not huge, the presence of a heatsink on the amp does imply something of a heat dissipation problem in the enclosed sole of your shoe... best not drive them too hard :D

[@urituchmanpigeon]

You're probably right. these are for casual shop music so hopefully it'll be fine.

[@TheOwlman]

@@urituchmanpigeon Fingers crossed! Nice job on the shoes though...

[@Galt4570]

Uri Tuchman, I was going to say the same thing about heat. Could you hollow the shoe out more to give it more air? And maybe a passage opening up under the laces? They look magnificent, BTW. ;-)

[@urituchmanpigeon]

@@Galt4570 yeah, I can open a vent hole all the way to the speaker it self, it well still be covered but maybe it's something.

[@RadRidesByCru]

Relax, these are casual shoes... if he wanted maximum performance he'd of carved a set of drivers shoes.

[@aplavins]

Brilliant! I love the idea of making something look a certain way but behave like something completely different. Excellent attention to detail.

[@james1214]

I adore the perfection and absolute absurd surrealism of the final result.

[@tommypetraglia4688]

Who doesn't love this guy? I was smiling the whole way thru.

[@joewalsh1054]

I wish I had that level of creativity and skill.

[@ThePeanuts1000]

Great work :) If I may give a tip for masking and painting, first do a ground color, white in this case, then mask, and then do another coat of the ground color, that way the next color doesn't bleed under the masking tape :)

[@singJJBplay]

Traditional Dutch People: We make wooden shoes. Uri Tuchman: Hold my hand-made mechanical pencil...

[@MrMoonjo]

@Josh Brown uri is from germany so why would you call this dutch? please get youre facts straight before opening youre mouth @ uri why didnt you use a smaller bluetooth?

[@isaiahcampbell488]

@@MrMoonjo here in America when a lot of German settlers came the Europeans already here had trouble pronouncing Deutsche and instead called them "Pennsylvania Dutch" and later just simply "Dutch". Unfortunately the name stuck and with all the anti-German sentiment in the first half of the 1900's nobody was in a hurry to correct the name. Where I live in America there are still large populations of people who speak German in their homes as a first language and celebrate many German holidays and some of which include a "wooden dutch shoe march" where everybody gets together and walk down Main Street, playing music, and wearing old clothes (1600's style) and wooden shoes of a German design that are incorrectly labeled "Dutch shoes".

[@isaiahcampbell488]

Josh Brown, I'm so very glad that the first comment I read was about those old wooden shoes! I actually inherited a pair of traditional ones as a kid!

[@MrMoonjo]

@@isaiahcampbell488 i know this but thats isnt a reason to call this wooden shoes from the dutch real dutch wooden shoes are way different

[@narcoleptic8982]

@@MrMoonjo That's not what he was saying at all. You're misinterpreting his intention, and being quite rude about it. The joke is not that these are "real" dutch wooden shoes, but that Uri has made an improvement upon wooden shoes. Don't be such a jerk.

[@billhalt8811]

That was incredible. Now all you need is a pair of DM's for the sub woofers.

[@harpoonlobotomy]

I just finished the tool tour video, and now this - what a lovely afternoon.

[@Seelenschmiede]

In Uri's head: "I don't know what it's good for or if it even have a purpose, but I will build it anyway. Speakers in shoes? Here we go!" Btw: if you take "The sound of his steps make me shiver in fear" way to literally :P

[@philedgerton7892]

Your projects make me very happy. I smile for a long time. Thank you very much, Uri.

[@Piratecapt8383]

Uri you are truly a mad scientist for good. Awesome!

[@glm1987]

[@norsebavarian1941]

Fantastic project! A classic pair of wing tips are always in style!

Sir... that's awesomeness with laces an Bluetooth. Amazing skill and perciverance

[@AlexanderBroy]

Wie immer eine fantastische Idee, großartig umgesetzt!!!!

[@gk6993]

You continually amaze me. Your inventiveness, inspiration, and perspective. Next level.

[@joeo6378]

I kind of want the laces to dance around. Kind of like a “wacky wire” carnival game. Make them look like they are dancing a bit. I really like what you have created here. Lots of fun.

[@michaelrosenlof1084]

Very fun-A breath of fresh air-Thank You Very Much!

[@Runescope]

Anyone else would have taken shoes and made them speakers. I love that you carved shoes and made them speakers!

[@Kaardoron]

My breath catches everytime you take a knife and like really dig it in because I keep forgetting they're not actually leather shoes. I so love your work Uri!

[@grannyvapes4154]

I think the shoes are realistic enough. Wonderful work!

[@streetDAOC]

Omg the connecting cable makes the rest of the show lace ❤️

[@TheCptnOfFail]

This entire video I could not stop thinking that these are what it would look like if the dutch made counterfeit shoes. I am quite impressed by them.

[@Jayneflakes]

Fabulously quirky, I love your videos and your beautifully made projects. Thanks for sharing them with us.

[@klausnielsen1537]

What a wonderful execution of that idea! I love that they are not "photorealistic" shoes but have that look about them that they are a prop. And when you know what they are, it makes perfect sense. Great hand work at carving them out. I was soo nervous when you carved close to the edges that just got thinner and thinner and.... Uhh. My nails.

[@DavidChadwell]

Amazing work Uri. You have a rare and unique combination of creativity and talent.

[@BrianDaleNeeley]

I would love to see more tool builds, but I think you've done them all. Hammer? Check (at least a couple) Saw? Check (a hand {shake} saw, and some others) Plane? Check (doubly so), Chisels (and even chisel holders)? Check Lathe? Check Scroll saw? Check Knives, gouges, gravers? Check and check and check Brushes? Check Bar clamp? Check Test indicator? (A most holy) Check Marking gauge? Check Safety glasses? Check I suppose you could build a vise, and I am amazed that you don't have (or at least haven't built) a power graver. You could make a file or a rasp. I almost fear to see you build all of these, because if you did, there wouldn't be any tools LEFT for you to build.
