How To Build A Cajon // Making A Box Drum

January 13, 2026

I’ve been wanting to build my own Cajon or box drum for quite some time. This instrument is great to have around the house, especially if you’re a musician. I ended up making two Cajons, one of which I made a little bigger, and it’s amazing what a difference in the sound a few inches made. I like the sound of both. Hope this video helps you out and inspires you in making your own Cajon. Thanks for watching!
