    This channel has helped me realize that my projects don’t always have to look perfect and that imperfection is the stamp of handmade. The story of the object is more important. And I love it. Keep up the great work Evan!

    I tried this once with some sad looking plastic cans. Didn't sound that great - however a client has offered me free speakers, so W.

      Nice! These old car speakers surprised me with how good they sound- I guess they work a lot better in a quiet studio than in a stripped out car where they have to fight a ton of road noise haha

    Came here because William Shouted you out. Watched the video of you making the Excavator handles, and then I just sat here for like 3 hours and watched all your videos from the beginning. So glad I did. I hope this channel serves you just the way you want it to.

    Cool project. I've just found your channel and I've really been enjoying it. I was extremely supprised by the emotional range, and that's kept me watching each one of them. Thank you for making them.
    Unrelatedly, you have 3 speakers. Have you considered setting them up in a Hafler circuit? You set up the left and right speakers normally then put the third speaker behind you. The rear speaker is connected to both positive terminals of the amp. You get a kind of surround sound effect from it. I've never done it myself... nowhere to put the third speaker.

      oh and, if you buy the anniversary edition, don't read the introduction! they changed something in the book to improve understanding (for the better) but to explain it they had to spoil some parts of the story. ;-)
      And your videos are really inspiring to just do stuff, I love it that you just screwed the mouse on your desk, basically for a joke... maybe I'll leave some more comments over time. ;-)

    i have some old speakers i bought from a junkyard a while ago, but they need a new wood case (dont know how they call it in English), and i would need an amp, so im scrapping the project for later.
    from the little knowledge i have on this topic, they would sound even better if you filled the inside with cotton or some fabric
