The main body is laser cut 3.4mm plywood stained dark with a coat of spray matte poly finish.
The speaker grill is some random fabric also laser cut to shape.
The diffuser for the LED is 3D printed in a matte gold PLA.
The 3.2 VDC LED leads are soldered directed to the 2 pin header.
It's all held together and insulated with low temp hot snot glue.
That's it.

A tiny radio that plays music? It had to happen and it just did.
It's NOT pretty on the backside but it works.
Turn it into a functional Bluetooth speaker? Ok... let's flirt with this idea more.
This could work. It works well on the breadboard and sounds decent. Adding a 3D printed sound board for the speaker will help too.
The BT module needs 5 VDC so a dc-dc converter will be needed. The blue board is a step down board as a place holder to see if there is room for all these extra shenanigans.
The amp runs great on 3.3 with that speaker. The amp and BT module while playing music only draws 30ma. The LED draws 20ma. 50ma seems reasonable for an SAO?
