I like my music playing when I'm working in the shed. I've had my stereo sitting on a shelf in the storage area. I quickly wired it up and threw it in there ages ago so I at least had some music. One thing that was always a problem was I couldn't hear it when running the Lathe or Mill since it was behind the wall.

I was machining up a new mount for the Cobra handbrake lever on the weekend (It's coming along nicely) and decided to do something about the lack of music when machining.

I fabbed up some swivel mounts for the speakers and hung them up on the wall out of the way. The cabling runs inside the wall. Having them on a swivel means I can point them where I'm working.





For the amp and I-Pod dock I made up a shelf and attached it to the wall. The speaker cables come through the wall behind it. The shelf also gives me a handy spot to keep the rechargeable work light and charger for the battery drill.



With decent tunes in place I had a very enjoyable afternoons machining.

Cheers
