upcycling - the idea: a portable boombox made from a rusty old paraffin can
first one side was chiseled off to access inside
next some wood was measured and sawed to carry insides and speakers
trial fit is looking good
in order to have the panel look right, I scanned the tin side, printed it, and
glued it on the wood - still needs a coat of clear but definitely looks the part
goldblaster speakers lookin' awesome - can't wait to hear them thumpin' away
here's the wiring/construction plan (done during grade 11 Geography test)
...
more later when the China-parts will have arrived
...
and here they are: testing the wiring if everything works
making the holes for the amplifier buttons using my cheapo version of a Dremel
gluing in some insulation and testing for space - it only barely fits
took me ages to get the power supply angled away enough to squeeze it all in
but here we are - MP3 player connects to amp
there are bass, treble, and volume controls to adjust the sound, which really
is surprisingly good - not really blasting loud but nice enough to listen
to my favourite tracks wherever I go....
unscrew the lid and recharge - or use USB adapter to charge music player
...
that's my "Musikkanister"
