You’re most welcome! Very glad it’s been of use!

Hi Starlight! Well I have saved some funds and was planning on having some people to assist in installing the smaller silencers into the ceiling void in the next 2-3 weeks but with the situation I’m putting it back until spring... probably April! Plan is to get the HVAC system in next, and the actua...

Hi All, Very sorry to have been absent for so long! It's simply that nothing has changed : ) I am loving the space and being able to write and record music, the room is still unventilated, unheated and cooled, nor really treated. I want to share my costs to show really how much this sort of ambition...

Hi, thanks! The frame for the innermost Studio door is almost fixed, the door itself is currently my desk : ) I’m looking for a week off to move forward with the construction and the studio door will be on the list for that week...it’s currently looking like end of October. I plan to have the silenc...

Small update! I’m currently not financially able to work on the studio and due to the current situation am not inviting volunteers to help just yet (but fairly soon)! I‘m not content that the room is sat there empty while I have a loft with old studio gear doing nothing. I’ve made a pc from old pc’s...

Ah yes great! Apologies I had not caught up! Mine’s on a financial delay, and lockdown... to get the silencers in place I need 2 other guys maybe 3 in the emclosed space. Also I’ve got back to work since running super low on money. I have a 1st stage summary post to do in the next week or so... Grea...

Great progress Starlight! So great to see someone progressing : ) I look forward to seeing the silencers finished and in place. Great initiative to make rails for the circ! If you need to cut melamime faced stuff you can get a chip guard on the blade side and opposite side (so it stays flat) Looking...

Yea cool, perhaps 6mm would be best...

I’m planning to use Sikaflex ebt it remains flexible and adheres very well so I reckon it might work well, especially if there’s backer rod packed in there...

Sweet, yep bonding old to new got it. It is not fun up there... So is backer rod important? If I leave 10mm around the sleeve I think 30mm is no problem, in increments... I won’t be able to fit all of it from the top side as I don’t have access all around, I’ll have to do it from below...can use som...

Hi All, Wow, we got a rainy day off work so I was lucky enough to spend the day in the studio! My friend I’m working with has done some singing recording very rough for some projects he’s working on and is giving me the odd days free labour as payback! I didn’t take any pictures of his offering, but...

Thanks for the info Stuart, I may get one when the isolation measured are complete, at the moment I’m able to go out any time of the night and record guitar and sing which is a massive improvement and good for the soul!

I can’t wait to get the time and manpower to fit the silencers!!!

Hey, sorry about the delay!

I think I may have around 12 linear metres on the roll left but need a little more to finish off when the silencers are in situ...

U-Spec rolls were 18m long 1200mm wide. £120 + vat + delivery.

Yea, every bit is a push on! John, lets see the grotty work!

1569 Excellent stuff. It might be worth checking the accuracy of that meter... ...And for once it was actually the tools fault, LOL! Cheers, Jennifer Oh yea good call, when I get to the stage of room testing I’ll get more precise, I am hoping to get the inside door done in the coming weeks and hope...

1567 May I ask if you developed a preference for any particular type of caulk? I am not Tom but if it is of any help, Stuart posted his recommendations in post no. 17 in my studio build topic ( here ). I could not find any of those where I am but I am using MAPEFLEX PU45 with great results. I have ...
