Okay. Normally, when I work on any DIY / arts and crafts / restoration project, I take a ton of photos, document everything on my blog, post the blog, and then work on the next project.
This time around … I tried a new tactic.
As I began work on another drive-in speaker restoration project, I decided … let’s film the whole thing. And by “film,” I mean use my camera phone and chronicle as much as possible in terms of repair and restoration. I mean, it’s not like I have the kind of money to hire a crew for this. You do know what the initials “DIY” stand for, don’t you? 😀
But this time, I decided … let’s not only make the video clip fest, let’s upload it to YouTube and add it to the pantheon of DIY restoration projects out there, shall we?
You know we shall.
So shall we do, so shall we must.
Look, it ain’t perfect … I’m working with a temperamental director (me) and a clumsy craftsman (also me), and the editor (me) needs some lessons. But for a rudimentary effort, it’s not half bad. And it’ll only get better as I move forward.
And I do plan on moving forward.
Oh, and if you want to purchase the drive-in speaker I just fixed up, you can now go to my fully restored Etsy site (ChuckMillerCreatives.etsy.com) to either purchase this speaker, or any of the other drive-in speakers (or some of my photographic artworks). I mean, it’s not like I can get a big company to drop some advertising cash on me, so I gotta work with what I have. Besides, if I’m self-sustaining and self-sponsoring, then I’ll eventually be self-supportive, right? Isn’t that how it works?
Yeah, I can have fun wit hthis.
For sure.

That was really well done, and not just for a first time video. I particularly like the part where I wasn’t doing the work. 😀
