In this video I make an incredible wooden Bluetooth Speaker. It's powered with simple electronics and a 10000mAh USB power bank. This gives the speaker 4x the battery life of a UE Boom!

The supplies and parts list is available here: https://www.kiwiworkshop.com/plans/wo...

As many parts of the speaker are made from wood as possible, including the speaker grills and volume knob. See the links above for the full supplies list and build plans.

Note that you will probably also need to wire up the USB D+ and D- lines for USB charging to work. The data lines are used by modern USB chargers (including fast chargers) to query the USB power bank about what type of charging it supports. I initially tested charging with an old USB charger for which just the 5V and GND wires were enough to make it work. After the video was released, I tried charging with newer USB chargers and discovered charging wasn't working. Easily resolved by wiring up the data wires too!

I also wrote a full blog post for this build which you can read here: https://www.kiwiworkshop.com/blog/how...
