Beerbq Swap 2024

For my main project for the beerbq swap this year I made a speaker box. I was gonna make it with a big box joint in each joint but cut the wood and placed it on the saw top like pictured and decided I liked that better. I used some 90 clamps that I 3d printed to hold the joints during glue up. Unfortunately I had the wood slide and it wasn't completely aligned so I had to sand that down. I bought the bluetooth speaker kit from rockler. Before the glue up I cut the holes for the speakers and control module with a spade bit. Then I took a piece of the mahogany used and put it in just above the speaker openings. It didn't fit tight so I used tyvec tape on the bottom of this piece to seal it for the resin pour. I messed this part up. I ordered some polyurethane resin knowing I had to use a pressure pot. Went to do the first pour and my project didn't fit inside my pressure pot. I poured anyways. Found out how to make resin look like lava rock. Then I put 2 bottles on top of the resin with tyvec tape wrapped around it sprayed with release so I can take the bottles out. The idea was to create cup holders. After that pour I realised that wasn't gonna work the best like I had planned. I took the bottles out and finished the pour with some alumilite epoxy. My reciipient used Tony the Tiger as his avatar so I found a 3d print, scaled it down to 40% and put 2 bases in the epoxy. The tigers were the first time I painted 3d prints in bambu studio and they came out good. I also made a bottle opener useing patrosewood that I got from rockler. Last minute I decided to search for can holders. I found a file on my mini factory(I believe it is also on cults3d) for the engine can cooler. It comes with v4-v12 options. I decided to print the v6 option and since my recipient is a ford guy I printed the powered by ford valve covers. The valve covers don't stay on the motor unless there are cans in it. The handle is screwed on. The center red piece is just set there and can be removed so you can add ice to keep the beer cold.
