Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Saw the Bamboo Pole
Begin by cutting your bamboo pole to the desired length, typically between 20-30 cm. Precision in sizing will affect the sound performance, with larger diameters enhancing lower pitches.
2. Carve the Slot for Your Smartphone
Measure the width and thickness of your smartphone, including its cover. Carve a slot on the bamboo cylinder’s center using a gouge or chisel, ensuring a snug fit for optimal sound amplification.
3. Drill Holes for the Pods
Mark four equidistant points around the opposite side of the slot. Drill 6 mm diameter holes to insert the bamboo dowels, providing stability and enhancing sound projection.
4. Sand the Cylinder
Smooth the bamboo surface with sandpaper, removing any rough edges or imperfections. This step is optional but recommended for a clean finish.
5. Make and Insert the Pods
Craft your pods from bamboo slats, splitting them to match the drill holes. Insert the pods firmly into the drilled holes, ensuring they are secure and level.
6. Adjust and Finalize
Ensure your speaker is stable and that the smartphone fits securely. Make any necessary adjustments using sandpaper or cutting tools to perfect the alignment.
