Using scraps of pallet wood and some tiny speaker components I managed to piece together this little prototype – it uses a 2x 3w amplifier and is good for about 2 weeks of use on 4AA batteries.
Possibly due to the nature of the softwood used for pallets it actually sounds a bit bigger than it is – its no bass monster obviously but its not tinny either, and 3w is more than enough for such a small speaker.

Since 2008 I’ve been working on various handmade speaker designs, from monstrous surround sound setups, to mixing monitors, to battery powered portables and as many in between as I could think of.
With a Masters Degree in Product Design Engineering from the Glasgow School of Art and The University of Glasgow, I had a good foundation in design and engineering. Along the way I built up my woodworking skills, moving back home to Dorset and learning traditional woodworking skills at The Boat Building Academy in Lyme Regis.

My aim is to bring the pasts high quality hand joinery to present day items. The art is not lost quite yet and I believe there is still a place for hand made objects made to be used and made to last. Now more than ever with sustainability becoming more important.
