In this video, I build a walnut tambour cabinet with copper leaf inlay and an integrated bluetooth speaker kit. The Shaper Origin CNC was instrumental in bringing my design idea of tambour inlay to life. I’ve never tried tambour before, so I wanted to try it on a smaller scale, but also push my design limits further than I’ve done before. The Shaper Origin CNC allowed me to make design decisions that would have been nearly impossible with traditional woodworking tools. I had a basic idea in my head for this tambour cabinet, but most design decisions were made “on the fly” which definitely slowed the build process down. The bluetooth radio was merely to add function to the form. I hope you enjoy the build!

  1. Wow Keith very impressive work as always. Watching you make that looked very painful. The detailed work you do is always awesome! Have a great day! I love walnut too!

  2. Keith- fantastic build, fantastic video. Entertaining and informative. Your builds are always above my skill but I have learned so much from the process details you always provide in your videos. You a GD treasure.

  3. Hands down one of my favorite YouTubers. Skill, humor and I learn something. I’m working on a record player cabinet and I think I’ll steal this copper inlay idea using my CNC.

  4. Hi from the One Handed Maker Australia.
    Nice design, great work and fantastic video.
    I love combining woodwork and tech and will get to a bluetooth speaker one of these days. This video may just be the inspiration.
    FYI Lola and Jerry work as hard as I do in my shop some days!
    Regards James

  5. Keith, massive respect for that pencil find. And thanks for including the link in the description!

  6. Wow😳 nice work Keith. Sorry for my English I am from Germany. You make great Clips/Videos, how long build you on this Box/Radio Thing? Can't wait for the next video, good luck for the future.

  7. Hola! 🖐Super nice project, it looks really really nice.🤩 Veteran move/recovery with adding a KEY to the panel, I'm sure that Nick really enjoyed that.🗝 Looking forward to your next project. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊

  8. This is fantastic woodworking. From an audio perspective, I noticed you said the speaker was lacking bass. Small speakers like this typically rely on a ported or passive radiator design to extend bass response. From what I can tell, the drivers are not enclosed in any specific way. Sealing up the enclosure could help, but knowing exactly how to do that requires a bunch of calculations, but Dayton audio does provide the driver parameters you would need. There is also software available to help you figure out how the size of the enclosure, size of port, and speaker all figure into the final sound.

  9. I believe this is my favorite video of yours yet! Very cool design! Love the copper and walnut combo!
