This Speaker cube was a snap to make using the Rockler Wireless Speaker Kit. The kit includes all the electronics you’ll need to create a speaker cube. The speaker includes a battery that lasts approx. 6 hours, and connects via Bluetooth. The kit also includes a USB charger cable. I chose a simple cube design, but so many options are open to this design. To attach the back control panel with the front panel there is a 6″ speaker wire.
If you make one of these be sure to post a picture of it over on the WoodLogger Facebook Page. I’d love to see how yours turns out.
Material List
(1) 2″ x 4″ x 4′ (I used pine for mine, but any material type would work well)
Cut List
(2) 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ x 2 3/4″
Milling & Assembly
| To get started on making my speaker cube. I used a piece of scrap 2×4 pine and cut it in to 2 equal lengths. I cut the lengths to a manageable length for now. Later I will cut that these down so that I have a perfect cube that is 2-3/4″ all around. | |
| Next up I glued the two boards together giving me a desirable thickness. | |
| Next, I cut my boards to have an equal length on all sides of 2-3/4″ in length. | |
| Next I drilled a hole through the center of the boards with a 1 7/8″ Forstner Bit. A spade bit would have worked well too. | |
| To finish my cube; I sanded it using three grits 60, 100, and 220. I then decided to stain mine using a red mahogany. | |
| The last step was to attach the speaker components front and back. These are held in place by simply using pressure. However, you could use epoxy to attach it permanently. |
