Hi there I am big fan of your work:) thanks for all useful info on your channel;) I came across this video and I am very excited. Could you have look and maybe in the future you could do video about something like that. kzhead.info/sun/gbifnJunbKqYrIE/bejne.html
Love your projects Matt..Keep up the good work
I might make this for my plants(hmm, maybe I could use UVA bulbs?) but I don't see the point other than if you love "steampunk things".
DIY Perks I just built the ultimate diy projector you taught on another video. It’s amazing and fun.
Heey Matt/DiyPerks, Recently I have started work on your project: speaker with a glass on the top of it and led filiments inside. I hope you know witch one i'm talking about. At this moment i have finisched the electronics, but i have a very big problem... the ampifier boards you use keep destroing themselfes in my speaker, so far i watched 2 board go up in flames and i'm very afraid of placing in a new one because the delievery times are realllllyy long for me. I would like to know if you know how this happens and if this has happend to you. When i'm done with the electrics everything works and the sound is great but when i turn it of, wait a few minutes and try it on for a second time. The board shoots flames and i can start over again.... I would really like your help. Components: Dayton audio speakers nd65-8 2-1/2 Amp: OEP30W (the stereo type like your concrete speaker) Power: 19V old laptop power supply Potentiometer 50kohm dualgang with switch. Do you have any idea why my boards work the first time but the second or thirt time they go up in flames... I really look forward to your reaction, My project is at a stop now if I can't figger this out my project ends here. Thank you so much, Kind regards, Roy de Kock Ps. I'm really sorry for spelling mistakes english isn't my first languege. Love your video's.
You're like the Bob Ross of electronics ;-)

@@NorthernKitty good one!
@@NorthernKitty This sounds like something he would say if he was a tech guy
"oops it looks like these bird's have died, well I'll show you how to repurpose them"
I was just thinking that
I swear to god every aspect of every project you do is so amazingly executed.
Nobody has ever said "i'll be giving it an acetone vapour bath" so energetically. Hats off sir.
Anyone notice the tiny bug on the speaker at 4:27 ?
Was totally triggering my OCD.

OMG i had to stop watching
@@watchthesefools Why Gerry, Why!? - - - It cannot harm you, you know.
Lol I hate you... once you see it you can never unsee it
Here’s what I love about your channel: Your projects are technically impressive and *tastefully* impressive!
Apart from your amazing inventions, you've got a really good taste for colour grading and visuals, I love your work! ;)
"This is how you make this stunning Bluetooth speaker, first you'll need a 3D printer..." Well, looks like I'm not making this project then... 😅
Not to hard to get your hands on if you have time to spend
@@alexanderharaldh4831 $$$ tho
Guarantee the design could be molded.
He said there were services to apply a model and get the product
Check your local public library. Mine has 3d printers and the cost to print with them is just the cost of material, which isn't much.
I too love to read a book by the light of a dim bulb with a compass half closed sitting on the desk next to it!

Dude, you've come a long way with your speakers. I truly appreciate how you are displaying the audio quality. Hope to see further progress on that.
This man is truly an artist. Every little detail is handled so beautifully.
This is brilliant. I love what you do. Thanks for getting on Patreon so I can stop sponging off your free videos! ;)
Love your videos, the way you explain stuff just makes sense. Great project by the way
Amazing video as always but i think "filament" could be slightly twisted into double helix shape making it far more interesting to look at.
Sounds cool, dude, do it!
Wow, if you hadn't told me otherwise, I would never have guessed that was a drinking glass. Thank you for your time and sharing. This just might be my speakers for my XM radio. I just got the siriusxm tour receiver and that thing is freaking awesome!
dear Matt. your projects not only work very well but always look fantastic. beautiful design that fits in every home. good job.
nice to come home from work and get to see a new DIY Perks video :)
Really really nice, it's a really cool project, great job man!
really nice project
Bit of a tip with sketchup, you can drastically increase the number of sides of circle/arc if you scale up the model and scale it back down when you're done. This way you can make a circle with up to a 1000 sides rather than whatever arbitrary limit it uses when you're making smaller models. Also certain functions like 'intersect faces' work more reliably when the model is scaled up. I usually scale my more detailed models up up by 10x.
This dude's smile is contagious af and his happiness and smile is literally just so genuine and pure 😂
Your creativity and imagination strike me each time I watch your new video! This looks amazing
It's a copy of the Sony lspx-s1
More attractive than that sterile piece of ....@@uco527
Looks amazing, for bonus points make the leds flicker ever so slightly based on the sound, like an old tube amplifier.
Tubes don't flicker due to what they are amplifying... Just saying.
You'd have to put some component monitoring the power draw of the amp to adjust the voltage of the LEDs between the amp an,d the LEDs. Any ideas? Maybe a bit much for some flicker. Maybe it's easier to put a component with microphone that modifies voltage according to the level it picks up. Someone suggest an (easy, sensible) solution.
Your eyes might object.
Tubes with high plate voltages will flicker when they are driven hard
You really do build the most wonderful things, thank you for sharing them!
"This is very cheap and easy to make" *gets excited* "This is going to be 3D printed" F....
So follow the instructions and find a service to make it for you at an affordable price...

My library has homeless people....
That's the kind of content I love, keep it going :)
YOU, my dear, continue to BLOW MY MIND!!! I sent the link of your "survaliance camera hacks" using old computer cameras, and my Son in law LOVED IT! Since it's 3:31am, I have to wait to send this one! Almost forgot ABOUT the workbench led lighting creation! I got to send that too! My word, you sre a clever boy! And SUPER CUTE!! I LOVE YOUR HAIR!! ✌😁
That wiring is so genius Matt. Will try this, thank you!
I really loved this project. It looks amazing. I was wondering if a similar project would work refurbishong an old oil lamp... I mean... keeping the looks but acting as a speaker.
The exact reason why i subscribed. Keep up the good work!
I love how you add elegance to your builds than most.
This is hands down one of your most creative and good-looking project!!
0:30 - you waiting for some toilet paper?! hahah! Great little project, and a brilliant idea!
Always cool creations. :-)
very cool video
i just love vintage effects so calm and cosy ambient
You are a very creative individual. Using the simplest of items to deliver ultimate pleasure and recycling. Love all your ideas and vids.
you could add a potentiometer on the outside to have adjustable brightness (by adjusting the voltage of the dc converter)
Matt, you are a genius! I love your projects. Did you ever consider letting some of your products into production?
I love these videos. Your concrete speaker inspired me to do a wooden speaker of my own, and now I have inspiration for my next project!
your work is so neat and clean love to see your work for an hour without blinking my eyes.
I really like how you grasp the idea of Home DIY, high tech Computers, and Art all into one. Really cool!
Great job! The only missing thing is a switch to turn it on and off

www.aliexpress.com/item/LIXF-DC-Motor-Speed-Control-Driver-Board-3V-35V-5A-PWM-Controller-Stepless-DC-3V-6V/32844914858.html there is an option to use a 3v to 15v range, and I would rip off the switch and 3d print a new one that matches the design.
i found your dimmer
you need to wire it inline (series) with the LEDs not replace any components of the current circuit.
Master volume?
This video is amazing. But whats even better is mr. Perk's voice, being that it is nice and calm, relaxed, methodical and therapeutic. He isnt rushing to get anywhere, just going at a gentle pace for you understand. Highest quality videos from this guy.
So many things learned from this short video! Love your inspiration and attention to detail you give! Well done
If there is ever a nuclear apocalypse and I find myself wandering around a Fallout-esque wasteland, I'm coming to find you.
Also, when drilling abs, pla, etc, use a stepper bit for a cleaner hole.

This was honestly amazing. The aesthetics were on point and I guess this product has a lot of market potential !
Love the gnat crawling on the speaker.
You invent stuff for the year 2045 but your hair is stuck in 1982. Great vid though!
The video and the 82' hair are great. Keep going :)
its the MacGyver look. quite apropriate.
He's looking more and more like Garfield's owner, Jon.
hey , i only liked the vid because of the hair , don't be mocking that hairstyle

Well done Matt, great build as always. I can't wait to see how many "makers" copy this one in the next few months :)
Unfortunately, Sony already copied him... in 2016. It is a very nice build though, I may copy it at some point too... www.consumerreports.org/wireless-speakers/where-the-sony-glass-sound-speaker-goes-wrong/
What a BEAUTIFUL build! You’re videos are the gold standard for DIY projects. Outstanding, clear and detailed instructions with fantastic production value! Keep up the amazing work! 👍🏼You have a new subscriber!👍🏼
Probably the best diy channel on youtube- very original, excellent idea, amazing quality video as well. Props to you!
this guy not only looks like McGyver, he is ! :-)
If one hooked a mosfet from the speaker side and used it to like the leds. The way the leds would flicker with the sound
As always man, awesome projects you are making. You are a real DIY person. We love watching your projects keep it coming. Have an awesome day.
Who knew Theon Greyjoy was such a smart cookie! This channel is amazing, and done so well!
"What do you think this is?" Jokes on you, I read the title.
and for the next project, make the light flicker in time with the beat of the song 🤔😎👍
Then you have a annoying noisy fuckn bedside lamp that pisses you off
Just don't listen to music with your epileptic friends.....lol
and make it RGB lights while you're at it too lmfaooo
This is the coolest video ever. Those LED tubes are amazing.
This is not only informative, but extremely relaxing as well. You’ve got that Blue Peter voice.
0:30 OMFG!!! wait, no nevermind... thought you were doing something else sitting there.
Did anyone else spot the tiny little insect on the speaker?? Although Nice Idea!!!!
Yes.
Where?
Rohan Tolani 4:25 left side... Tinyyyyy
That's called "Bug Music"! :)
Google "The Wayouts"... Flintstones reference
So thank you for this. Adding a rechargeable power source makes this the perfect camp light.
Awesome job, love both technologies combined sight and sound.
Perks: This is so easy to do! Me: Yeah, after I take a class on electronic engineering! AND have a 3-printer!
When i saw you hair i directly jump to the description to check the uploading date
Everything you make is beautiful. Love it!
I feel such sympathy for you and your projects! Keep on building, its so awesome!!
#hype :)
DIY Perks As I live in the UK too, is there any chance you could tell me which shop the glass came from? Great video though it looks amazing!

Morrisons! Though I've seen them all over the place to be honest.
Why do you need to print them in 3 pieces when the first thing you do is glue the pieces together?
Hi , the link for the 3d parts isnt working 😭
Another masterpiece, Matt! Thank you!
Excellent project Matt! Just useful and it looks great! Keep up the good work! - Danny
Gud build .... Please consider making a video for indoor 5.1 surround sound system which is wireless. Only power input for the satellite speakers.
Actually, yeah! I'd love to see that.
If anyone needs a 3D printer hit up your local community college, mine has one and you can use it for free
Cool! I didn't know that. Thanks
Bummer Wuhan virus has us on lockdown. We go to college online now. Perfect
Rey Sun I believe there are some companies online you can pay them and they’ll ship it to you
I live in central Europe men, we don't even have a toilet paper in colleges.
@@bladyops9900 They're quite expensive though. Even for just the smallest pieces you have to pay $30 or more.
Awesome Project Matt - One of the best so far. Thanks for sharing this this great little design.
That is beautiful! Thanks for the ideas Matt!
What about syncing the LEDs with the music 🎶
Yeah, a different project though, and with multiple colour changing RGB LEDS. This could be an idea for another portable boombox, this time maybe a 2.1 speaker system so it has a decent sub.
Don't get too far, or the big companies will turn it into a gaming product because of the RGB
Yeah, some gentle effect, like a breath
Thought about this, it would probably be possible to isolate the sound output with a few components and affect the voltage regulator for the LEDs a bit. Add a small capacitor to the LEDs and it would probably flicker smoothly to the bass of the sound.
@@josasp that would require more components that would take up more space, affecting the general feel of this one. Maybe a more modern design would allow for all of the things you need without ruining the apeal
Seguramente nunca lo construiré, pero me encanta ver tus proyectos xD
You look like a teacher so much . Teaching stuff to people fit you very well .
I love the idea of making a sounding speaker with a nice vintage touched. make more of this category. love it from Philippines.
That bug on the speaker tho
I saw that too lol
When i saw that i was thinking the speaker came with free bugs
Had to scroll way too far for this :D
After saying "3D Print" I stopped believing it's cheap to make. 😂
My local public library has a 3d printer and the cost to print is just the cost of material, which isn't much.
@@RagPunker This is good info, I never would have though to go to a library for this.
@ im sorry it made sense until you somehow turned it into classism
@@user-rs2gv4vk1g If I ever get a 3D printer, I'll print a comeback ;) until then thank you for your positive attitude and positive suggestion.
The sound is amazing.
This is really impressive. I hope to find someone knowledgeable to assist me in making this project since I'm a non-techie person.
Fusion 360. Just a tip.
Honestly they're both shit.
What do you use?
I use sketchup.
So you use shit ?
Use SOLIDWORKS
Instead of 3D printed plastic, is wood a viable option for this?
@David Hanson Thank you for the response
Well, you keep on amusing me with your DIY ingenuity. I didn't actually need a BT speaker, but now I might build one just for shits and giggles. What I do need is some filament lightning though. I wasn't aware of these things now come as LED so you just gave me an idea for my project. Keep the good stuff coming...I subscribed already.
Wow, now that is a real piece of art. Not just a speaker!
Doc Brown in his Prime?
Zaber Ansary i wonder how to make this wig..
USD 300 speaker paired with US2.35 amplifier. Am I reading the ebay listing correctly??? Why did you select such an expensive speaker?
About Me It says in the description that the speaker is out of stock so the price is unusually high right now.
brickman409 That was not in the description in the beginning. I suspected it was edited and added later due to my comment.
Speaker goes for about 20USD - www.aliexpress.com/item/For-D-M-PSS-2-inch-8Ohm-10W-Bass-Speaker-Stereo-Subwoofer-Loudspeaker-Midrange/32713995040.html. The bulbs 0.50, but maybe you electricity supplier is giving them away encased in a regular light bulb package.
Thank you for this comment was really worried because of the price it was showing
Creative minds like yours are beautiful. Keep up the good work!
Awesome build! I love your videos. Thank you for another great build idea.
The ebay listing for the speaker is $300 now.
Andrew DeHoog was looking for this!
Your hair is getting a little 80's
Not just a bit lol
I wasn't around in the 80s so I actually didn't notice lol
A bit 2080's indeed, but that's what we like ;)
DIY Perks no? I’m surprised. I was thinking the same thing, haha.
My hair is getting a bit...bald. I wish I had his hair.
I'm imagining this encased in a faux lantern with a wider base to prevent tip-over. Nice, simple build. I love it.
I love the design of this speaker!
"Easy" 🤣🤣
It's probably a youtube thing, but the speaker doesn't sound specially good to me. It sounds tiny and lacks low end.
Deses Also it lacks high end.
It also lacks stereo.
Also lacks strawberries.
It also lacks size.....
mmm tacos
simple but nice, keep them coming man, love your projects.
Your a good bloke, there are far too few gentlemen these days that have your intellegence and vigor. Keep it up.
