DIY iPhone Boombox looks pretty good

If you’d rather not waste money buying an iPhone speaker dock, and you would rather spend your time creating something with your own two hands, then this iPhone Boombox might be a project worth undertaking, assuming that you have both the time and patience to see it through to the end.

This was originally designed by Instructables user, MTriest who is currently a student at the University of Oregon studying industrial design and was made for one of his classes. It features MDF wood along with a clear layer of acrylic that has been sandwiched between the wooden pieces and was created with a ShopBot CNC router and a laser cutter.

The end result is a pretty minimalistic design, and the good news is that MTriest was kind enough to post his instructions online. So if you’d like to undertake a new project, head on over to his Instructables page for the instructions, additional information and for the list of materials required.
