This is what I do with offshoot lumber. For any project I have, the bins fill up after a while and that bbc pattern listed at 12 gives 18'' for stacked 1.5'' + 12 count. .. Plus the 1.5'' frame. I appreciate the video; I was nearing my stock/off shoot and found it because I wanted to brush up on detail.
If you use a table saw with a sled you don’t need to sand anything because a table saw spins faster than a chop saw and it doesn’t leave any splinters leaving out the extra work of sanding
Another tip/possibility for anyone else that this might help: If you use a Zero-Clearance fence & miter insert, it prevents the back side of the cut from splintering and creates a very clean cut. You can usually buy inserts for cheap and make a sacrificial backing fence out scrap MDF.
Very Nice. Looks like a piece of Modern Art. Only because I'm totally ignorant about the science of audio & sound acoustics, is it large enough to blunt sound? And If so, why?
While standard acoustic panels are designed to absorb sound energy within a frequency range, diffusers are designed to scatter the sound without reducing the sound energy within the room. This allows the sound to reflect in many directions instead of in straight lines off of a flat reflective surface. This reduces flutter echo and reverberation without attenuating certain frequencies. There’s a ton of great resources about diffusion all over RUclips and elsewhere if you’re interested in diving deeper. Thanks for watching!
I've been wanting to try this! I believe it would still work but the diffusion effect would be on a larger scale. I've seen some larger control rooms use 4x4 in their designs as well, def something cool to consider. Thanks for watching
Amazing video thank you! If you aren’t doing a 12x12grid as per the BBC design, how do you decide what pattern to use? For instance, I can only do several smaller 9x9 grids, will this matter?
I just repeated the design after 12 blocks, I suppose for a 9x9 grid you would just do the first 9 in each row. Could be something cool to experiment with! Thanks for watching
How do you prevent this thing from splitting as the wood expands and contracts with the seasons? Being glued to a backer board and to each other seems it would cause cracking and splitting with moisture changes. Thanks.
Hola , el difusor debe quedar centrado a la altura de las orejas del ingeniero o es lo mismo cualquier posicion , podrias despejar esta duda ? Gracias ,bonito trabajo.
Thank you! The clients requested it be mounted higher so they could place a couch underneath and not have clients heads hit the diffuser. Thanks for watching!
Very cool! Is it possible to use Styrofoam instead of wood? Since a diffuser doesn't absorb anything, it's an alternative, right? Excellent video, as always
This looks amazing!
Do you have any tests that show the wall art diffusion in action?

A nice table saw is on my list of upgrades for sure! Thanks for watching

Exactly what I'm looking for. Nice🙌🙌

Wondering about the weight of this all
Me too
Could you follow the same pattern and use 4x4s instead for a bigger one? Or would that throw off the diffuser capabilities?

The backing is 2ft x 4ft x 3/4in if someone is questioning.
Good job 🎉
Is the glue strong enough to hold these blocks

Saludos! Si, debería estar centralizado con las orejas del ingeniero
Hey ... can we do it with some other size block like 1×1 inch ... or 1.5×1.5 inch block... reply please
Just going to save for a pre made one😂
I don’t blame you! Haha it’s a lot of work
There are a lot of pieces of the same height together...
Great video! You hang it too high it should’ve been lower, on the level of listening position. It’s just my opinion I might be wrong.😊
Thank you! The clients requested it be mounted higher so they could place a couch underneath and not have clients heads hit the diffuser. Thanks for watching!
@@soundheadquarters I see 😊
How do you get the patterns for heights and randomness?
is this in inches or cm ?
2X2X8 LUMBER
1X6X8 LUMBER
2X6X8 LUMBER
Judging from what he shows it looks like inches.
Inches, but nominal. 1x material is actually roughly 3/4 of an inch thick.

18 x 18 isn’t what you built?
Very helpful! Looks like a lot of work though :(
Haha it is but it's worth it!
😮😮 Professionell? 😅😅 aber sperrholz hobeln. Wenn.man nicht rechnen kann und die Platte vorher passend schneidet.👎👎🇩🇪
