Looks amazing! Those hangers are very big!

Gareth

Magnetic catches… Of course! I never even thought about that for the wall panels despite using them for my cupboard doors. I’m taking a pause on finishing the fabric panels now whilst I use the room, as I expect to need to make some changes and improvements to the treatment of the space. Once this a...

I couldn't agree more about the budget item on the list. I spent around double, I think...

Good work on getting it to where it is! Looks like a nice place to work.

Gareth

Glad you’re feeling well enough to start getting involved again, Stuart.

Gareth

Makes perfect sense and isn’t far off what I did with my most recent panel.

Thanks!

Good advice, thanks Starlight. I did try a slighlty different approach to the material panels I made last week and it went a bit better, using extra wood to frame around the sockets. Paused again to use the room which has been a delight. Spent a bit more cash on a passive stepped attenuator volume c...

Fantastic news! I’ve been using my room for real too and it’s such a nice feeling. Will report more ASAP.

Get those soffits built, it’s truly a game changer.

Gareth

Thanks Starlight. You’ve done such neat work with til your ceiling - I’m very envious. I can’t wait to see your finished room. My weak area has always been the final finish and getting things neat and tidy, which is why I’m cross that I’ve already made a couple of mistakes with my ceiling material a...

Hi all Well it seems the final touches that need to look the best are taking a lot of time and not looking that great. i had made the one rear material panel, held in place with the flush mount metal clips Jennifer shared earlier in this thread. To make this work the cloth covered wooden frame slide...

Great work! Glad the new rear traps have had such an obvious impact. On to the next!!

Gareth

I feel more often than not with these things that simple is better. I wonder by having so many layers/leaves each floated using Sorbothane is making things complicated in a way that could be detrimental. Maybe start with a design like mine and see how you get on? If that isn’t as good as hoped, taki...

Hi Sorry for being quiet on the forum - I’ve been getting the room ready to use and actually using it a little too! Current status is that I’ve put my equipment into my prototype desk, added more varnish to the floor, added some material to the ceiling and made one material panel for the rear wall. ...

Hmm very good points and thorough research. I guess I can’t confirm or deny how much vibration transmission I’m getting and I guess it will be hard for me to ever know now! You’re defo right to try and figure it out now before it’s too late and they’re buried in the wall like mine are! Thanks for th...

Thanks snailboy I have some of the green vapour barrier stuff from Wickes that was used variously on the build so I might try stapling some of that up at the back to see what the effect on reverb time is. I’d be worried that it might make noise vibrating potentially, so I might not cover the whole b...

Great shout with the flush mounts- they’d be a lot better than nails I’m sure. Will think how to do it with those. Thanks for the tips about diffusers both. I had been thinking about making a quadratic residue diffuser as they can be tuned to certain frequency bands. I’m not sure I’ve got 3.5m from ...
