It's always better to hang projector first. So you know how the image will turnout also everything fits prefect
I noticed that you didn't fold over the screen material. Is it just a personal preference whether to fold the material over the back of the frame versus just getting it tight and stapling to the front of the frame? Thanks!!
Looks good JB. definitely a nice addition to any space!!
Thanks!
Fantastic movie screen, great job! That French Cleat hanging system is a nice way to go....
Thanks!
Very cool! looks like it works better than the dollar store shower curtain that I've been using, too.
Hah, I would imagine so, thanks!
Sweet build man!
Thanks James!
I almost had a heart attack just after 4:35 when I saw him with the knife near the screen. That could have been game over! :O
Hah, that would have sucked!
Me too. Heart dropped for a sec. I had a traumatic experience with a razor while installing a pool liner as a teenager. 😢
awesome job!
it's simple.....
take your time, measure twice cut once
and your projects turn out great!
I might try this one
Thanks!
What? He measured once and got it wrong, he says he forgot to account for the felt. His mistake is our gain though. I couldn't stand looking at those lil grey bars to the side every time I watched something, I'd need to make a new screen, hopefully re-use the material? The compulsion to get the aspect ratio right and the screen wrinkle free would be too strong.
Nice one. Have a similar screen installed, and there's one drawback. If you do staple the canvas, you are bound to have some wrinkles on the screen, no matter how diligently you do the job. Also, it seems the indoor moisture does affect it somehow: the situation is different during winter than in summer. If I were to build a new screen, I'd look into turnbuckle system, as they allow to adjust the canvas tightness afterwards with ease.
Awesome project! Did you keep track of the overall total budget?
Hello Please advise where you bought the corner braces
Nice job JB.
Thanks Brian!
Hopefully you will be able to answer this question. I have built a DIY 130” 2.35:1 screen. Watching your video I need to ask you, with my screen being 10’ wide does my French cleat need to be a certain width? I currently have a 36” wide cleat. I am having a problem lining up the picture in the screen. The PJ is level as is the two half’s of the French cleat. The screen when hung just will not square up. I am hoping that a wider cleat will keep the screen squared and allow the PJ to align.
Hi, really cool stuff. Could you give a wood block size in cm. Thanks
Looks great! What's the purpose of the felt tape?
It hides the staples and also absorbs any overflow on the image towards the edge of the screen if your aspect ratio isn't perfect. Just gives it a cleaner, more finished look.
Nice result Lad.
Amazing. That's a really amazing! I do that in my home.
Thanks!
I'm going to give this a try I may use a flat board with a smooth surface and painting with the metallic gray paint great video by the way
Did you ever get around to doing it?
@@sgtpepper1138 yes .Iooks good
Really cool, nicely done Johnny! 👍🎦📽️
Thanks Fred!
Thinking of doing this kind of project myself,but using as thin/light/rigid board as I can get with either the screen material glued on or wallpaper backing pasted on and painted.
Good work!
Thanks!
Great work but my OSD would not allow those speakers to be taller than the bottom of my screen. if that screen was slightly higher they would fit under nicely but I'm guessing you know this and there was some reason why you could not do this.
The link to those metal corner braces isn't the same product as what you used in the video at 2:15. I've searched online and can't seem to find anything exactly like those... Seems like they'd provide superior support to the alternatives I've seen since they attach on both the inside and back surfaces. Anybody know where to find something similar?
I was able to track them down: USP TTA12-TZ www.uspconnectors.com/us/products/connectors/general-hardware/diy-connectors/TT. Found them at Lowe's www.lowes.com/pd/USP-5-375-in-Wood-to-Wood-Angle/1000244557.
@@kevinfelde326 Thank you for this useful information.
The 2 front speakers are in the way
Brilliant
Thanks!
Nice screen 📺! Would this material also good for up and down rolling screen (automated)?
This material is fairly thick, you might want to go with a thinner material for that. Check the Carl's Place site to see what options they have.
Thx you
Nice
Thanks!
What is the staple gun brand . Nd size of staples used
It's pretty cool... but how well does it work during the day w/ daylight? 🤓👍
Hey, where's the link to your channel, i didn't see it
What projector do you use?
That is amazing starting this project next week !!!
Awesome, tag me if you post it to social @craftedworkshop!
Gday Could you use this method for a green screen ?
I needed this, i can’t find a pre made 46 foot screen anywhere.
........Time to make shorter speaker stands.
Next on the list! :)

How many inch is ur projector screen
I'm trying to get 300" projector screen so how many inch would be the frame
mounting that projector near the fan is incredible anxiety provoking for us AV guys.
just use a white roller blind. 10 bucks, and can even backlight project with it. ive used a blind for years now, ive had screens, i really dont see a diff if im honest, slight brightness but i run my projector at half bright and dim the room anyway.. such a poor job too. wrinkles?!?!?!? no... headaches garanteed!
WHAT!? pocket holes. Mattias doesn't approve
Festool too. tsk.
But steve does :)
Plenty strong for this application!
my father likes these, but he uses them in combination with biscuits for his custom trim and cabinetry
iv always wanted a mobile one of these so I can take a girl out camping and play movies
Only tricky thing about this one is that it's a rigid frame, tricky to take camping. If you build one, be sure to let us know!
i've always wanted one too!
...A girl to take out that is.
muh1h1 dammmmm bro 😂😂😂👍🏻
I am seriously considering this. Seems to ruin a little bit of the reason I go camping, to disconnect, but could you imagine watching "The Hills Have Eyes" in the middle of the woods, all alone?
Are you also planning on taking a gas powered generator or about 100 lbs. of batteries camping with you?
Pro Tip, Make your screen for 2.39:1 Ratio. most movies are this way.
if 16:9 movies have curtains on the side you pull in.
Back bars or grey bars will drive you mental.
does that projecter work with a ps3
I'm certain the projector has an HDMI input, and therefore would work with a PS3.
Yup!
the speakers are to high
Yup, I'll be wall mounting them below the screen later today.

hey can u make a real home made projector guys????
I would get stucked in my mind with that wrinkles.. Way too much wrinkles..
Yes, very easy, do it yourself project lol.
First
I didn't watch it but it is too hard for me
Then how do you know it's too hard? This is a really easy build!
I use to teach middle schoolers to make these. anyone over the age of 6 could do this.

- Andre Gide. According to the internet anyways...
I was never good at quote picking, but it seemed apt considering the comment. You never really know what you can accomplish if you don't give it a try. :)
Just try it. Everything is hard until you start doing it
ok. you said its so simple to build and costs so little .... IF YOU HAVE THOSE GIANT ASS THASOUND DOLLAR CUTTING DRILLING TOOLS!!!!!!!.... how the hell i am supposed to do cut and drill those woods like that if i dont have those machines ha ?...
