Hey Im new to LL and this will be my first PJ. Cheep stuff b/c its my first one. Lets start out with the screen I made. 60" made with blackout cloth from the Rag shop.

2 Yards of Blackout cloth (Ragshop)

I just made the frame today. Going back to Home Depot tomorrow in the AM to get a 250w Lamp kit and Wood for the screen and PJ box

I also got XL10 for the Heat shield.
My Mom is also helping me out and she found me a 4inch mixing bowl for a reflector.

Guess I'll be the first to welcome you tw0f0ur!

Starting off with the screen instead of PJ? Neat idea! Gotta love the HomeDepot plates. I wish my Mom would help me out with my PJ

Best of luck and keep and don't forget to post your progress pics!

Hey thanks alot man. Ive read alot before I've started to post or build. I used this link http://www.eldamar.n...creenHowTo.html to help me make my screen. From what I hear a 60inch Screen seems pritty good for a PSone PJ. Well for now im off to Home Depot to go get Wood for the box and the boarder for the Screen. If i can get my friend to come over I might have pics tonight. Thanks

[tw0f0ur]

hey got back from Homedepot and I found which should hopfully be a TEMP lighting kit untill i get my lamp kit from LL. Im using a worklight rated at 250W uses a blub with the 2 clamps on the sides. the lamp gets VERY bright so we'll see it it works. It not then its only waisting 5$ I got my screen done. Just adding a black fabric boarder. I tell you it looks professionaly done. Took my time on building everything. I hope i can post pics tuesday. For now have fun.

I had already build 2.5", 7" , 15.4" and now I have 17" Projetor, base on the Result and my personal Opinion building projector smaller than 15" is a waste of time and money.



P.S. I try to save some money and effort.

[tw0f0ur]

ehh this is my first project. My other one is in my other Plog..

did some work on the LAMP and Reflector. Here are two pics to enjoy

What kind of light is that? I recently got a hold of three projector lenses that could easily handle a PSone screen...I have been toying with the idea of making one...

but thats the first time I have seen that light...what section did it come from? what are its specs? Is it a halogen?

Oh and welcome aboard!

[tw0f0ur]

Thanks. Actually its a Home Depot Work light. Its 250w and yes its a Halogen. Its basically a test light to see if it would work. It was only 5$ on sale so I decided to try it. 5$ wouldnt hurt. Its REALLY bright so hopfully it will work.

If you look at that bulb you will notice the filament is very long. Very long indeed. Your lens will only be able to focus on a small area of the filament, so I'm afraid you are likely to encounter brightness issues.

[tw0f0ur]

Brightness issues meaning to bright or not bright enough?

Well, he did say it was a test bulb, so it seems like he knows what he is getting into. Besides that, you can never tell when someone is going to make a breakthrough. I seem to recall a scratched LCD that seems to be making quite a splash...

[joecnc2006]

Looks like a halogin bulb, when i tested them, they left a bright strip right across the middle of the screen, because of the nature of the filliment, but that was using a 15" lcd, so maybe a PSOne will work better.

[tw0f0ur]

Ok well I Should know by this weekend If that bulb will work or not. Thanks for the replys.

[manshack_one]

Just wondering if you had any updates on this project. Thanks.

[ReD_DoG]
