    That came out pretty nice, only thing I would have done different is to glue the little strips of walnut vertical at varying lengths to look like an EQ.

    Also for cracks that appear I've found that if you rub dry cement into the cracks and fill them, then just wet your finger and rub the Crack and smooth it out the water will suck up into the cracks and fill them. It's mostly cosmetic and not structural

    Take a jig saw or reciprocating saw and remove the blade then place the base against the form and pull the trigger. This will give you better vibration for working the air bubbles up.

    • @DIYCreators

    You have a shop - why vibrate the mold by hand?
    Place a jigsaw or reciprocating saw, without blade, up against the mold, and turn it on. A variable speed jigsaw is better, as you can spin the speed up and down while moving it across the sides of the mold.

    If you're using a fast setting cement add a little sugar a d it slows down how quickly the cement sets. Also use ice water instead of just cold water. Both will help lengthen set times

    Could have added some foam or sponge to the inside of the speaker holes to help dampen reverb from having an industrial sound effect.
    Also, yeah, adding Qi wireless to the wood paneling would have definitely been a nice addition. Overall, nice job 👍🏻

    Nice! When I was in the music industry, the studio where I worked redesigned my editing suite. They poured cement speaker stands that acoustically isolated the speakers from the building/floor. The difference in the sound of the same speakers before and after was amazing! So, your design will be acoustically isolated too, no matter what you set it on. If you have crappy speakers, they will "speak" in all their crappy glory! :-) However, good speakers benefit from this sort of design.
    Too bad about the crack, but an amazing design.
