Ive been pondering on the charging mechanism of a soundbar i want to make, and this video is my final destination on how to wire it so it charges alright! awesome woodworking skills as well. many thanks!
I love your work, your devotion to each project and how you edit your videos. You are one of the valuable channels on you tube and set to obtain a lot of subscribers. Keep it up! I'll help by spreading the word.
I wil save this video for the (hopefully) near future as I start my woodworking journey, this is really great. You have earned a new subscriber and fan!
Your aesthetic skills surely resulted in a graceful looking piece. What if you would have added an AUX input on rear panel enabling it to be connected with PC or any other device?
Kiaora from an ex-pat in Oz. Good to see a Kiwi here, great work on the speaker! I’d better go watch the rest of your vids, keep them coming, and don’t be shy to voiceover them too.
Kia ora, and thanks! Good to hear from another ex-pat, I've heard from a few in the comments on this channel and other social media. I did try with voice over videos but it was my "no talking" videos that have been much more successful and received positive comments about the video format. So figured I would keep going with that format, since they seemed to be better received by a general audience.
Wow 😮 great looking speaker, the natural wood finish looks 👌great. Would love to try a wood bending project soon, can you go much thicker and still bend okay?
Thanks! Glad you like it. You can kerf bend wood at any thickness, the main consideration is how deep the slots are cut. In this build, there was about 1.5mm material left below each slot which worked out ok.
Thanks! I can only compare to a UE Boom 3, and to my ear, this speaker sounds better. I'm no audiophile, but I would describe the sound as richer and warmer. More than enough volume too. It would also be easy to upgrade to more expensive electronics and speakers. I kept the electronics basic to make it easy for anyone without electronics experience to complete the build.

It means the perfboard can easily be removed from the back panel and flipped over for servicing if required. Or to be replaced by another circuit if ever required. Also, I intentionally made all of the electronics modular in case I ever wanted to upgrade to higher power audio. But yes, if you were keeping costs to a minimum, you could solder the power switch wires directly into the perfboard.
The bass is OK, actually quite good for cost effective electronics and speakers. At some stage I will upgrade the electronics and try to add more bass then. But for now I'm happy with the sound quality and use the speaker almost daily. Thanks for your comment!
Thank you 🙂 It's Beech which has been thermally modified (steam treated) to bring out the dark color. It's a cheaper alternative to using more expensive dark wood such as Walnut.
Аккуратно и красиво. Одно не понятно - на кой ты во внутрь павербанк запихал??? еще и не закрепленным. Ну сделал бы на холдерах - прикрутил холдеры к корпусу, плата заряда на скотч или клей. И вуаля - ничего не гремит!
Thank you for your comment. My original plan was to mount the power bank, but since the USB cable was quite rigid it held the power bank in place. But I do agree, securing the power bank would be a good upgrade!
It was trial and error but I got reasonably close on the first attempt. I tried 120 ohms to start with which didn't work, then tried 82 ohms which did work. 100 ohms didn't work either so settled on 82 ohms. I suspect 82 ohms will work with most USB power banks. The additional current draw isn't an issue since the power bank has such a high capacity at 10000mAh. Another option would be to replace the resistor with a small circuit to drive a power LED mounted on the back panel. The current draw would still need to be about 60mA however to match the current draw of the 82 ohm resistor, i.e. I = V/R = 5/82 = 61mA.

Saw the short and came here for the full video. Awesome work, you earned a subscriber!
Thank you and welcome to my channel! 👍
Exactly how I found it. Thank you
Came here to say this!
@@kiwiworkshopmaybe you could save time by stacking the two pieces of wood for the grills and then drilling the holes.
The result looks really high-quality and like a designer piece.
An amazing build, thanks for the video. Makes me wish I had but an ounce of woodworking skill to my name!
Thanks, appreciate your comment. If you ever decide to get into woodworking, I'm sure you won't regret it!
Your one of the best wood workers ever!!!!!
Exquisite design and professional execution
Really appreciate your comment - thanks
Eh! O a caixa de som ficou.
Incrível mente Incrível. Parabéns,
Thank you
Using a router table and jig to cut the volume knob into a circle is a great idea.
Thanks, glad you like it. I have a full video on the router table circle jig here ruclips.net/video/q1PN_nl_SFU/видео.html
good work, happy creativity👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I really appreciate your comment and thank you so much! This was really encouraging to read. I'm thinking about the next project already 🙂
Oh, that circle jig is brilliant.
Glad you like it. If you are interested, I have a full video on the circle jig here: ruclips.net/video/q1PN_nl_SFU/видео.html
BEST VINTAGE,...
Sounds ok
I wil save this video for the (hopefully) near future as I start my woodworking journey, this is really great. You have earned a new subscriber and fan!
Awesome, thank you!
Excellent idea also Good work. I m from Pakistan Karachi
Thanks! Hello from New Zealand
Beautyfull work !! 😍😍
Thank you!
Looks and sounds awesome. I enjoy these videos. Sadly I lack the patience to follow through making something. Keep up the videos.
Glad you enjoy my videos, there are plenty more to come! Thanks

@@kiwiworkshop Fair enough, go with whatever works! Good luck with the channel, I look forward to more videos.
@@MrShaunBenza thanks. I have plenty more videos planned, but as usual, finding the time is the hard part!

Geweldig..je bent erg handig !! Als je dit op de markt Brengt, dan kun je goed verdienen, verkoop zal groot zijn !
Thank you! I would love to sell them, but would need to commit to high volumes to make it worthwhile.
Nice job, well done 😊
Confiança no que ta fazendo.
The on off rocker look like a DC motor speed control,in first look!
Szczerze! nawet nie zaczoł bym rąk brudzić, żeby zrobić 5 watowy głośnik
Very nice build as always 👍
Thanks, appreciate it 🙂
Excelente!
Thanks!
Nice build mate and looks great
Thanks, I really enjoyed this project
No ground loop noise?
Correct - no ground loop noise. All conductors are of suitable size and there is only one power source.
very nice look and build! but does it sound, compared to, for example, jbl flip?
Thanks! I can only compare to a UE Boom 3, and to my ear, this speaker sounds better. I'm no audiophile, but I would describe the sound as richer and warmer. More than enough volume too. It would also be easy to upgrade to more expensive electronics and speakers. I kept the electronics basic to make it easy for anyone without electronics experience to complete the build.
What 's the amplifier board?
PAM8403 2 x 3W with potentiometer
👍
,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you……
Thanks for the feedback! More content like this to come...
@@kiwiworkshop Thank you very mutch... have a nice Weekend.... see you….

10:19 What was the point of the blue terminal block? Wouldn't it have been just as easy to solder the switch wires to the perfboard?
It means the perfboard can easily be removed from the back panel and flipped over for servicing if required. Or to be replaced by another circuit if ever required. Also, I intentionally made all of the electronics modular in case I ever wanted to upgrade to higher power audio. But yes, if you were keeping costs to a minimum, you could solder the power switch wires directly into the perfboard.
Great man hows the bass sound.if you could add a woofer or something for the extra bass punch.but over all it looks great man
The bass is OK, actually quite good for cost effective electronics and speakers. At some stage I will upgrade the electronics and try to add more bass then. But for now I'm happy with the sound quality and use the speaker almost daily. Thanks for your comment!
@@kiwiworkshop do upload the video when you upgrade your thing👍just love the look of it.
For sure, probably won't be any time soon but I won't forget! Thanks 🙂
Stupendo, bravissimo 🤩
Che legno è quello scuro usato per incastri e manopole?
Thank you 🙂 It's Beech which has been thermally modified (steam treated) to bring out the dark color. It's a cheaper alternative to using more expensive dark wood such as Walnut.
In 3:07 looks like a chocolate cookie
Haha, yes it does, but won't taste very good!

How much u have invested for this
Not much at all really, about $40 for the electronics and I had the wood already. Lets say $10 for the wood.
Gak cun
you're just showing off all your tools and making it even harder for someone to learn and build something. that's not good, do you even realize that.
