As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzfaq.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

Hello, I just ripped 2 by 4s down with a table saw. Then, cut them to different lengths on the miter saw.

Great job. I used this as a guideline but bought my screen material on Amazon. Although I have the tools, Lowes or Home Depot will cut the 1x4’s for all the folks without saws.

top tip: use a sheet of 3mm plywood for the screen front, it will strengthen everything and ensure a perfect flat screen when you fit the cloth. top tip number 2: buy a dark grey roller blind thats made to measure, top tip number 3, build a black screen, you wont need black trim around the edges and the contrast will be massively improved.

Hi Chad, I have to admit, you have a really nice videos and projects. I've seen your DIY Wood Strip Wall Art and decided to go this way in my living room. But now I saw the wood strips wall next to the projector screen. I love it!!! Could you give me some hints how to achieve such great result? Thanks Vaclav
@chaddiy3512
@chaddiy3512 6 жыл бұрын
Hi Vaclav! I made the wood strip wall next to the projector screen like this: I starting be running 2 by 4 pine lumber through my table saw. I kept adjusting the fence on the saw so I would get different thickness strips of wood. Then I cut all those strips on the miter saw into different lengths. This gave me a ton of little wooden blocks that were both different lengths and widths. Then I just glued them up randomly on the wall to get the look I wanted. If you have anymore questions let me know!

What a bunch of odd comments about his tools... Obviously the guy already had tools and does woodworking of sorts. What's the big deal? You don't need a band saw. And as someone who does woodworking, anyone with any sense of having the ability to reason, can do this with very low end tools. Borrow a friend's chop saw. Round the edges with just a sander. You don't need the expensive kreg pocket hole jig. Just take a minute and figure it out instead of dumping on the guy for having tools to show how he did this. So many entitled people...

The light reflected back at you will not be as good as even a $50 projector screen. Do yourself a favor if you’re thinking of doing this go buy the projector paint tape off your wall and just paint the reflective paint and if you want you can do a black border as well.

Had a quick question about the measurements. In the video you said you were cutting boards to 89 and 52. But in three comments I saw 89 and 45 which ones should I use? I'm building a 100 inch screen as well.
@chaddiy3512
@chaddiy3512 7 жыл бұрын
Hi Steve!, Sorry for the confusion. I believe you would cut the smaller boards at 45 inches. These 3 boards go in between the 89 inch boards. The 1 by 4 boards are actually 3 1/2 inches wide so you add 45 inches plus two 3 and a half inch boards and that gives you the 52 inches that I refer to in the video. Hope that makes sense!

Well it would give you a little less because the boarder blocks a a little bit of the 7'5'' original screen. Screen size is usually measured diagonally so I ended with about a 100" screen after the boarder was installed.

Hello - can I asked what type of wood did you use? I've read that poplar is one of the best to use. Thanks!
@chaddiy3512
@chaddiy3512 4 жыл бұрын
I used pine, but poplar would be better. It is a harder wood and doesn't warp as easily.

I know this video is two plus years, but do you have the UPC on the cloth you used? And since then, how has this held up?
@chaddiy3512

Sorry, I don't have the UPC on the cloth and I have since moved from this house so I am not sure how it is holding up. All I know is it worked great for the year I used it!

good job how did you make the cabinet under the screen
@chaddiy3512
@chaddiy3512 7 жыл бұрын
Hi Andrew! I made the cabinet out of 3/4 oak plywood and then used real oak wood strips on the front edge. I actually recessed it into the wall when I was framing my basement so that is how it just "floats" like that and is strong enough to hold all my equipment.

Does having the blackout cloth hide the middle support for your frame to where it is not seen when the image is projected on the screen?

Hi Victor, Yep...I never have noticed the middle support. The cloth completely blocked it out!

How many lbs would you say the finished product weighs? I plan to use command strips to mount it since I can't drill holes into the wall.
@chaddiy3512
@chaddiy3512 4 жыл бұрын
It doesn't weigh that much...I think if you did a total of 3 command strips you should be good to go! Good luck with the build.

The only problem with this is the staples, the material will almost certainly stretch over time leaving ripples in the surface which are really distracting. This is why commercial screens use springs to hold the material taut, as it stretches, the springs take up the slack. Otherwise this looks great.
