Some of the things to learn from this video:
1 - don't try to dress the full board when you will be cutting it into smaller pieces anyway. Instead, rough cut to length, then re-saw / dress - you'll lose less material / get more from your stock
2 - flatten one side on the jointer before trimming the edges. The stock will be more stable and safer to cut.
3 - use a point fence on the band saw when re-sawing and draw a guide line. blade drift can cause the cut to go off line when using a flat fence
4 - clamp freshly cut or planed stock to keep it from warping too much until the next operation.Even dry wood has varying moisture content, and when yo cut or plane deeper into the stock, the new surfaces have different moisture contents that can make the wood twist, cup or warp.
5 - solid wood expands and contracts with seasonal changes in humidity, so you can't use it in a place where it can do this freely, like the front or back of a speaker box. Instead, cut a piece of veneer and glue that to a plywood substrate. The plywood is dimensionally stable
6 - never trust the saw to make critical cuts accurately - cut a sample from scrap to check before using the good stock
7 - tape is an extremely effective way to clamp miters that are being glued. Use strong tape that won't break or come loose when you close the miter together.
8 - using a slower setting glue takes the stress out of complicated glue ups, giving you plenty of time to correctly position the parts and get the clamps in place
9 - sanding is a pain, but often the difference between what looks like amateur work and professional. Don't forget to finish by hand sanding everything to get rid of the swirls left by the machine.
10 - Cleats can replace rabbet cuts for back panels and are often faster to do.
11 - when cutting a circular hole with a router and circle jib, don't go all the way through. Leave just a sliver of material to hold the center in place then cut through that with a sharp knife.
12 - on figured wood, climb cutting with the router to round over the edge is the best way to prevent chip out. doing it in 2 or 3 passes is also recommended.
13 - seal the inside of solid wood projects to help block moisture absorption.

I have 10 years experience in manufacturing professional sound boxes, I have never had the opportunity to make with solid woods. Congratulations My friend Jonh
Wow.... those sound amazing!
thanks for sharing sir.
What is a good source for the wood?
Very useful and detailed construction. Tips in the description are gold. But...I noticed it only because I was looking for the brand of the polyurethane adhesive. I work/read on PC for a lot of time in the day, I hope you can forgive me if I'm not inclined to read in the moments when I try to rest my eyes and my mind watching some videos. What would be amazing for me would be add those written tips to the video. I like the format of you commenting the main footage, include those tips in the video would be amazing. My two cents. Thanks for sharing.
It’s been a year since this video and u will probably won’t read this, but I really enjoy your work at the moment I don’t have the budget to purchase the equipment necessary for building different project but for the time I’ll keep on watching your videos to learn some tricks that you do with this in detail tutorial.
Those speakers remind me of speakers from the sixties and seventies. When speaker cabinets looked more like fine furniture. Beautiful color to the wood and just lovely to look at.
I really like this format of you narrating the build. And the way you deliver the small tips is perfect. Too many videos waste too much time talking about that sort of stuff, or they don't talk about it at all.
Really blew my muffin
Yeah it's clear that he knows what he's doing and talking about... and isn't rushing out to make a clickbait video for every little thing he's learned.
I really like the voice over style explaining what's happening as oppose to the usual explaining as you're working. I'll watch either way of course but this seemed to be more helpful and enjoyable for some reason. Thanks
Your table saw zero clearance plate is an awesome idea!!! So much cheaper than having a dedicated zero clearance insert and more accurate for variable blade angles. Thank you for this video!
Morning! Good tool+ good hands = good speakers.Respect from Russia!
Excellent! I built a similar set about 25 yrs ago that I still use. The main focus of the plans that I followed was sound quality, selecting the right speakers and getting them located correctly in the box so that vibration complemented the speakers. Johns are much better looking. I'll be looking fwd to the second part.
That roundover tip, to sand to the edge and not use the router was good! I always am afraid when I do something similar but didn't think to do it this. Thanks
Admire the craftsmanship in building the boxes. Also jealous of all the tools. :-)
The electronics is more of my forte.
Wow, the finish you chose really looks amazing on cherry!
Thanks!
Wow - your finish combo made that cherry look like it had 10 years of aging in it. Gorgeous color and grain.
Together with the build article there is so much good tips and info for us to use in any project , and if you follow John you know you can ' like ' the video before you have seen it.👍
They look great. Nice choice of finish.
I'm not interested in building speakers but the process of you building them is very interesting and helpful. They turned out really nice.
Respekt aus Deutschland,Hut ab,du bist eine HAMMER , c Уважением МАСТЕР
Those are one of the best speakers I've ever seen. Thumbs up
Best production on RUclips, hands down.
Nice miter joints glue up. Rich finish.
WOW! I wish I had a quarter of the skill you have. I work with mechanical and electronic things. My dad was a master wood worker. You sir are a Monster (in a good sense) master worker. Beautiful results.
Good stereo, speakers, and music are essential in the home. Great project John.
I learned a lot about woodworking by watching John build these speakers.
I am happy to see you still have all of your fingers.
Great convergence of 2 of my interests. I love the flush banana jacks on the back. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the project.
John, I had been surfing RUclips videos for speaker cab building and not finding any I liked. Then along came your great video with beautiful cabs looking forward to cross over build as well, thank you. Mark
You've converted me to poly construction adhesive John. Keep it on hand all the time and really see how useful it is. Thanks!
Very nice job. I've always liked cherry. Flame maple is number 1 for me. I like how you made your own tools in this video. A true craftsman
Very nice! It feels good to see someone doing things so precisely. When I'm doing something, I'm extremely accurate. It just minimalizes the chance to make a mistake. So the outcome will be perfect. Good job! Keep going like that!
Killer looking speakers John. I made some last year and I found that you need some holes in the box to allow air to be pushed around. The speakers are a pump and you will get a fuller sound with better base if you allow for air movement in and out of the speaker box. Just drill about a 3/4 inch hole in the backs and they will sound much better.
The diameter of the hole and the length of cylinder feeding it from the box interior is dependent on interior volume and desired bass character. Not a detail to be taken lightly. This article does a fair job of describing the process: audiojudgement.com/bass-reflex-speaker-design/
Nice speakers, I've built a few speaker boxes but I've always been afraid to use plywood in the case of delamination of any of the plys would cause an unpleasant vibration at specific frequencies. Thanks for all the videos I'm sure it's a lot of work
Good morning sir..these speakers you built are amazing. i remember building my first set of speakers when i was 17. i only had a hammer some nails and a hand saw and when i was finished they were the wonkiest things iv ever seen but i was so proud of them.
You my friend have inspired me now to attemp at making some new speakers. now im 36 with a few years woodworking under my belt and many powertoolz to help me do it right.
I enjoyed the video. Closed the video. Remembered I didn't click the like button. Returned to the video. Clicked like... because that's the least I can do for all your effort and quality content.
Just now getting into diy speakers. I have a lot to learn, especially the crossover part. But I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
You do great work.
Great craftsmanship.
Great job, fine carpenter, good finished .
John, I'm more of a head phones kinda guy, but I still respect you as a person.
Great little video. I have a friend who’s wanting me to build him a few speaker boxes for his custom built tube amps. There are a few tips in here that will help for sure.
Simply beautiful John. That "nails in the workbench for finish" technique works great for mountains as well... ;)
I had to go watch the video (sorry, falling behind with my viewings) - great minds think alike !
But I'm surprised that no one has accused me of ripping off your idea, yet :)
incredible work, very good instructional video and simple, master
John I have been dying for you to do a speaker build! Finally a true woodworker that builds speaker cabinets. Have you noticed if the cherry colors the sound? I know mdf and bb are preferred materials for enclosures. These are gorgeous! Thanks for the awesome video!
Nice, speakers are on my bucket list of builds
very cool,i have a some cherry i scored from the 1980s,its been in storage and its some really nice cherry,i cant wait to build some cabs out of it,so far ive just made stave drums out of it but now i have another goal,thanks for the inspiration
Excellent table saw skills.
I'm more impressed with the homemade jointer, table saw, and band saw. Wow
Unbelievable John, totally unbelievable. Perhaps you may think I am lying, but the synchrony continues. For the past few days me and my wife have been planning to purchase a blue tooth speaker. (Bose ones) which cost a fancy, here in India. Your video comes just at the right time. While yours may not be Bluetooth ones, your video has certainly inspired me to build one for myself. Hope you come up specifically with a build for Bluetooth speakers. Thanks friend.
This video couldn't have come at a better time!
Anyone else impressed by the amount of self-made or modified tools John showed in this video?
Nice work Sir. Nice work indeed.
Also, I spy a sheet of HDPE in the background.
When might you be showing of the next bit on the EPIC Table Saw build?
Very neatly job Mr.!!!Well done! 👍
Absolutely beautiful job John. Very impressed......
You make them look so easy to make, a professional in action. My guess a pair of this box will at least take you more than 10-20hrs to make from start to finish. Such a piece of good looking and professional work you should really use high-quality speaker drivers to make the project worthwhile. And even better the speakers will last you for many years to come.
I have built speakers boxes before, not even half as good as yours. Even then the results great sounding speakers. I build for fun and test for different types of sounding speakers using different drivers, configurations and topologies.
Wow, just awesome sound that I'm pretending to hear coming out... ;-) ;-)
Got some really nice grain wrapping around those edges, John!
Super cool. Speakers look awesome.
Great Video. You really knows your stuff and you explain it well. Thank you.
Speakers look awesome. Going to go check out your website for tech info on the speakers. Speakers are definitely on my list of things to build someday. I’m still currently listening to my Paradigm 7se’s that I bought in 1988. They are a fine product of Canada!
Mesmo não entendendo muito de inglês, nota-se pelas imagens que o trabalho foi muito digno de nota! Parabéns!
Even though I don't understand english very much, is it clear from the images that the work was very noteworthy! Congratulations!
Thanks John. Another stellar project.
Look very nice! I just started doing the miter cut glue up a few months ago myself, so much better than doing butt joints and clamps, in fact I'm building a contraption so I can do it more quickly with much more accuracy and consistency as I build quite a few speakers.
I love this new format of your video.
Simply beautiful
The speakers came out fantastic!
Thank you :)
gorgeous build.
Great video and showcasing very good or excellent woodworking skills. I enjoyed this very much and learned a thing or five. Thanks for posting.
nice speaker box,nice wood too
Sweet heaven above, that is one hell of a finish. Looks so good you can sell it on Amazon or some local retailer.
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. And I love the voice over. Thank you!
I like the format.
Great build.
Closed Systems! Very rare! I love it.
I really like this new video format. I feel like I learned a lot in a short amount of time. Thanks.
Stunning looking speakers 🔊
Cool build! This may sound silly but I am really intrigued with the stain /finish mixture to accentuate the grain. This one is new for me but I’m curious to see how this can work on different species. Cheers!
Wow. Homemade shop tools. I like. And of course the project. Thanks for posting. Subscribed.
And this is just one of the many reasons I follow your channels! Thank you for sharing!
Speakers are awesome John, thanks for all of the info too! 👍🏻👊🏻
Very nice John and I really like you narrating the video ! :-)
Elegant work! Hello from Moscow!
nice looking boxes!
I have a couple boxes i want to build, so this video came at the right time. you gave me some Ideas.
Thanks John.

Great video/concept to demystify the process from start to finish!
Lovely finish.
Thanks Kevin :)
Counting on them darkening up over time and pushing some brown into the reddish / orange.
Wow , nice finish
Nice work! These speakers look beautiful. I'd love to make a pair for my record player. Too many damn projects already on the go though -.- so I guess I'll just add these to the list haha. When rounding the front edges with the router, you should clamp or stick a scrap piece to the ends so you can run the router off without rounding the corner. It'll also prevent any blowout.
they look amazing !!! great Job done as always John
Cool build and beautiful finish, I will definitely use the linseed oil on my next cherry project. But I knew I would learn something from John regardless of what he builds!
At last! A RUclips video of someone building speakers from someone that knows how to build speakers! Haha. Great construction and details. Awesome.
They look pretty much perfect, and this is very timely as I've decided to build new cabinets for my old (but still wonderful) KEF Cadenzas. Looking forward to the next video. Many thanks!
Beautiful and elegant!
Actually the sounds coming through my Sennheiser HD202 headphones, but if those speakers don't produce a warm bass tone with a clean tight top end, I'll eat my Sennheisers! I have a pair of CASTLE 'clyde' 2way speakers [solid wood with bass reflex] about the same size, and they are by far the most pleasant sound makers I've listened to, across the whole price range of the 'HiFi' mythos. Beautiful boxes, John.
Very nice. I may have to attempt this at some point. I have some high end speakers and would like to put them in some custom boxes.
Beautiful speakers, John. Thanks for the video and all the info on how you made them.
I made a note of the thing with the nails for the next time I paint, but when you asked us to imagine the sound... That's when I headed for the like-button ;D
John they are beautiful!
Beautiful project and great precision. I applaud your work!
Beautiful work!
Excelente amigo quedaron genial esas cajas para los parlante gracias por compartir saludos desde colombia 😁👍🇨🇴
Can't appreciate enough..
Look at that work😍😍 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Beautiful work, as ever. Inspiring stuff. My dad used to build speakers and amps. Watching you do it makes me want to have a go.
Enjoyed this one, nice style of narrating as well. Thumbs up!
Thank Christ you've done this video and article John, I thought I was going to have to wade through hours of internet bullshit. Was very happy when you came up in the search...
Love you John. You're the man! Always appreciate you sharing you knowledge, skills, and expertise.
Great, neat and planned work. But if I was there I would apply good acoustic foam on the insides before gluing last panel. Anyway looks gorgeous۔
