Watch as Weezna shows how he builds his acoustic panels. Pine and plywood was used to make the frames but you can just use all pine to build the frames. The wood strips were made from 4ft by 8ft sheets of Luan and were cut to an inch and a half wide spaced an inch and a half. The drill bit used was a 2 and 1/8 inch bit. The insulation used was Owens Corning Thermafiber formaldehyde free mineral wool (this was difficult to find a supplier to buy if from). The bag of insulation shown in the video was NOT the formaldehyde free version of the insulation. The first layer of fabric was "weed stop" landscaping fabric and can be bought at almost any store that carries garden supplies. When buying finish fabric, make sure air can pass through it (acoustically transparent). The angle of the panels was about 5 degrees hanging from the ceiling for both the ceiling panels and the cloud panels.

Hey man great video. I have been a carpenter for 11 years and now work professionally in a studio. My comment has nothing to do with your panels acoustically but rather the construction method that you talk about. First, the screws you have have nothing to do with the wood cracking when screwing in the end grain, in fact you mention that a drywall screw could potentially cause this, when in reality a drywall screw would be less likely to crack the end grain because drywall screw shanks are usually smaller (#6). The only reason you are not cracking the pine is because pine is a softwood, but this will only help temporarily, if the wood dries out they will probably crack. So you should always pre drill when screwing into end grain. Also I would not recommend not drilling holes in the side like you are doing, because this is solid wood you are significantly weakening the frame, if you wish to do this use plywood for the sides as well. Second: As for saying "sound can't actually enter in the sides..." this is simply not true. Sound will still go through pine, quite easily even, some high frequency will bounce off but these panels pretty much designed to eat up low end. To me this is just unnecessary.

Weezna, you are truly The Man!!! Keep up the good work. As ALWAYS we at MIRROR EMAGE ENTERTAINMENT wish you NOTHING but Success.

The holes on the side of the frame are a genial! Well done man. Respect
-
Your studio and panel build videos are the best on YouTube. So much detail!
-
great video, thorough explanations, well-paced editing, keep it up!
-
for ceiling panels, is better to provide some thin wood element on the front too, below the tissue. Otherwise the mineral wool weight will be hold in place only by the fabric layer. This would cause some deformation with time.

I had a bunch of black moving blankets that I was using for a vocal booth. I ended up cutting them up and using them for my covering fabric. Works a treat :)

Another excellent video. This will come in handy once I get my new control room framed out. I am still dealing with dimensions and angles of walls, so still researching those details....Super nice job...

I built my panels without a wooden frame. I used burlap and just folded it over on the back of the panel and glued it with hot melt glue. Works great, if you screw up, just pull up the burlap and re glue. The corners are just folded over neatly and glued. I used siding samples from Home Depot, near the 4 corners of the panel on the front under the burlap with string going through the panel to the back, where the panel can then be attached to the wall. I also used heavy paper to cover the panel under the burlap as a limp membrane to prevent the highs from being absorbed.
