@@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.
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
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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!
Nice... Great to see some real craftsmanship still at work. Dave and his crew deserve a lot of credit. thank you Matt for the tour. PS. Enjoy your vacation!! Carl....PA
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.
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.. 👍
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.
Great video I like these types as they show even the top people/trade/craft make mistakes as well which gives us mere mortals a look at the pitfalls which we fall into, thank you
Although not strictly relevant to speaker cabinet building, I would enjoy a video on spraying finish. My experience was years ago and I found it wasn’t worth the trouble. Recently I’ve seen you spraying in several videos and wonder if it’s worth my taking a second look. I the past, decades ago, paints and clear finishes were a pain to clean up and they were high in voc’s making them very hazardous to breathe.... I enjoy your videos, thank you.
One has mentioned it in a prior video of yours you really do have some fantastic skills going on when working in wood . The speakers that you made from cherrywood I think easily stand up to my Italian made chario speakers . I would purchase speaker boxes made by you in a heartbeat
I quite liked the grilles. I especially appreciate that you assembled them from lumber. The material was beautiful and I might have left them natural with a semi poly urethane finish for that silky look in contrast to the strong “studio monitor” case.....but that’s just me. Very nice!
They sound good. Well as good as it can be on my laptop computer. Nice job.

What is the blue material on top of the table saw? Im new to woodworking
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.
I loved it!!

Nice work. Love the paint job!
A favorite creator commenting on a favorite creator.
Thanks!
@@JohnHeisz What type of paint did you use?
Good polish!
Turned out great... great work with the editing of the video as well.
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 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Lovely job, John. I admire your patience and attention to detail.
Thank you!
That painting and finishing looked incredibly satisfying.
Also, really, REALLY like the look of the grills you ended up with!
I just realised how much camera work and editing goes into these videos, thanks for this amazing video john, you're amazing!
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
Your hand positioning when using the table saw makes my spine tingle.
I was thinking the same thing the whole time
I wasn't thinking the same thing the whole time
The routing on the pipe makes it look sick!
Your patience when it comes to sanding and applying finish is t be commended. Great work Mr. Heisz.
Thanks Kip :)
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.
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.
He DOES have a push stick. IDK why he's not using it here.
@@spdcrzy Because he has 10 fingers
Another great build John thanks so much for sharing it with us!
Damn that ceiling camera setup is crazy!! The mic, the stand, the light! It's awsome
He has a couple videos on it
This is a beautiful job, my grandfather was a carpenter and I admire people who have this gift.
Rounding over the inside of the ports was a really nice touch!
Thanks :)

So do you do carpentry? Nice to know that!

Very Nice, Excellent work with all that patience. Great craftsmen skills.
Great job! Everything was Very well Done!👏👏
That speaker sounds exactly like my cellphone speaker! 😉 Great job👍🍻
Mine had a lot of base with this speaker
lol
strange, it sounds just like logitech speakers here!
What kind of magic is this?
Wrong, that speakers sounds exactly like MY speakers

Wow I freaking LOVE your boom mic and camera rig! makes a lot of sense when you shoot so much in one room.
wow unbelievable! You have a gift. And you make everything look so easy!

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 .
I really enjoy your videos! You are so knowledgeable and talented. Thank You for sharing.
Excellent job and video , i loved the fact that you kept the natural tool sounds. Greetings from Greece.
Speechless. So beautiful. You are a true master.
ecellent! you are truly a craftsman, an engineer, and an artist!
thanks for this John.

yoo the chamfered edge around the inside of the pipes actually looks so nice
top quality craftsmanship here 👌
the job is easier with complete tools.
You are the best
That's some really good woodworking my friend
Love the way you routed the port holes. So clean!
Awesome build! Loved the speaker grills, they really set the sound bar off.
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.
Beautiful job John!
Sir you are a very good narrator and offcourse builder too
Great video and it's good to show how things don't always go to plan.
A true craftsman.
My good sir, watching you works is mesmerizing.
Excellent build John !
What beautiful piece of work. Wow!
Pretty good size soundbar! But I guess it's what you want and the size of the TV! Sounds good! Enjoyed the video!
One of the best video projects on I build it.
Great video I like these types as they show even the top people/trade/craft make mistakes as well which gives us mere mortals a look at the pitfalls which we fall into, thank you

The difference between a new and a skilled woodworker, is how well you can fix your mistakes. 😎

Nice video and it is nice to see some mistakes that are done and how you fix them
Nice speaker. + "Aria", my favourite song.
Great video John! It’s so nice to see and hear the “tweaking” you had to do. There not mistakes... there moments of learning. Thanks for sharing !

One again a stunning video. Also leafing the errors in makes it more authentic! Love the design. Keep up the superb work.
Congrats on making the Hackaday blog today! They like to give Mathis love from time to time...so it was nice to see you get some there too.
