I'm new to the concept of bluetooth radios so pardon me if this is a dumb question but do all of the designs require that they are plugged in or do some of them have battery power?

Depends on how you do it, but you can do either or both. All mine are battery powered with plug in recharge/continuous play capability.
Okay, and there are volume controls somewhere on them. Yeah, I was asking specifically about yours out of ignorance. All of the premade kits online are sold out and I was showing your designs to my son for 'poolside' use.

Some have separate controls, some you just use the source. Mine, I didn't use the supplemental volume knob, though it could be added. I built mine with simplicity and aesthetics in mind, not to say performance was disbanded.
I'd like a tiny digital add-on FM radio. Any ideas? I just completed my first one, and this is my only gripe.
Hmm, never looked into this wolf, but most likely due to me just using my phone and using the direct fm channels app or a radio app like radio.com or iheart. Something to consider in the future.....
I am still scared of gluing hardwood together (even of the same species or pieces from the same board) together for fear of it splitting due to changes in humidity....!
There's a lot of hardwood furniture in the world that hasn't split. Javad Shadzi and others do a lot of builds with hardwoods. I know there are tricks but I'm sure you could do it.
Hmm... I like hardwood and don't mind the cost, but my build takes such a long time to complete and finish... So far I have only been making hardwood baffles and using screws to fatten them so it has a bit of a give. Time to go full wood and fully sealed inside out...
epoxy unless polished to a high sheen would not look good on hardwood as it turn white and flacky on sanding...
Don't have much experience with Epoxy.... but i did coat a mdf box in epoxy and got epoxy bumps all over... waiting for the weather to be warmer to sand and then try priming and can spray painting.
I am using west system, but I only sanded to 100 before putting on the second coat. How high do you need sand to before it is acceptable as a top coat? Most videos on youtube goes to a couple of thousand grits before polishing.
Hardwood is fine for boxes. Plywood and epoxy are only recent inventions. The trick if you want to call it that is to account for the wood movement and avoid any cross grain connections. You can build a crappy hardwood box that will last 30 years, how long will the drivers last?
JHollander nailed it. Grain orientation and how you assemble are the important parts no matter what climate you live in. I have a pine box that I made in high school 23 years ago that still tight in all of the joints. hardwoods typically move even less than softwood. Search the internet and you can find expansion tables for wood species. A general rule of thumb, Tight grain dense wood moves less than loose grained light wood. Letting the wood acclimate before use is another great way to limit movement issues.
