Build a custom Bluetooth speaker from wood in this hands-on class. No experience needed — take home a working speaker you made yourself!
Make a Wireless Speaker
What happens when woodworking meets technology? You build a Bluetooth speaker that sounds great and looks like nothing you can buy in a store.
In this hands-on class, you'll build a custom wooden speaker enclosure using a unique dowel-based design and install the Rockler Wireless Speaker Kit — a complete Bluetooth audio system with playback controls, volume adjustment, and a rechargeable battery. When you're done, you'll walk out with a fully functional wireless speaker that pairs with your phone, tablet, or any Bluetooth device.
What Makes This Project Cool:
This isn't just a woodworking class — it's woodworking with a purpose. The finished speaker actually works, and it works well. The Rockler speaker kit handles all the electronics (no soldering required), while you handle the craftsmanship. The result is a handmade speaker that looks beautiful on a desk, shelf, or nightstand and makes an incredible gift.
What You'll Learn:
- Building a dowel speaker enclosure — You'll construct the speaker cabinet using a clever dowel design that gives the box a distinctive, eye-catching look
- Precision drilling — Using a Forstner bit or hole saw to cut clean, accurate holes for the speaker and control pod, which mount via friction fit
- Assembly and glue-up — Putting the enclosure together with tight, clean joints
- Installing the electronics — Wiring the Rockler Wireless Speaker Kit into the enclosure using simple color-coded quick-connect fittings (no soldering, no electrical experience needed)
- Finishing — Sanding and finishing your speaker so it looks as good as it sounds
What's Inside the Speaker Kit:
The Rockler Wireless Speaker Kit includes a full-range speaker with grille, a control pod with on/off, play/pause, forward, back, and volume controls, a USB rechargeable battery, and a 3.5mm auxiliary input for wired connections. Everything connects with simple plug-in wiring.
What You'll Take Home:
A finished, working Bluetooth speaker in a handmade wooden enclosure — ready to pair with your phone and start playing music.
No woodworking or electronics experience needed. Our instructors will guide you through every step.
