Looks good i am gonna be building cause i am just starting out i found all my supplies for $61.45 the only thing is i won't be using fabric i'll be using Classroom Light Filters-Whisper White like the coverings for flourecent lights they are more sturdy and less chance of them tearing.
@lynnsounds I thought about going that route too, with those light cover's. I'm going to make another set of these, and use Lycra just like my skrimking tripod covers. Make sure you can make them removable so they can be replaced if needed.
thats not bad job at all man , im startin a company making dj facades, booths and tables, mine will be made out of aluminum that can be powder coated to any color you want and with the frosted plexiglass you can get your name , group or logo either in vinyl or get it really custom with airbrush work.
@BtrayinMF That sounds like something I might be interested in. A lightweight aluminum, sturdy enough that it wont move around alot if someone leans on it when their trying to talk to me. One thing that would be really nice is if you could figure out a way they could lock at the corner's so the wind wont be able to change the angle of the corner pieces that connect the front from the sides when djing outdoor gigs.
@DJPolska07 They were leaned on. I'm sure someone who know's more about carpentry can do a better job at building them to be more sturdy... I, on the other hand, am not that talented! But here I am, 2 years later, still using this exact same one without having any issues... not bad for $60.
@onstagedjkj oh for sure it beats paying 350+ for a much heavier facade..lol plus if something happened to this one ud not care as much as a 350 one, my question is how do you transport this?
@DJPolska07 It breaks in half, then the two halves fold in half again. So once their all together, I wrap them in a blanket and but it up against the side wall in my enclosed trailer... OR it slides in perfectly in the back of my truck on its side... then I put my table on the other side for support.
@onstagedjkj do you think two minis would do it or one full size color strip? i was going with par cans but now i decided not to cuz of hot spots, so i want color strips but they are so expensive lol. my facade is 5 panels 3ft by 2ft wide. i hope two minis in front seperated a little can do me justice for now. then ill add a full one later on like you did. and put the minis on the sides
@DJPolska07 I would go with the 2 mini's vs the 1 full size colorstrip. This way you could put the mini's in a slight "V" look, this will allow light to get to your sides too. Just make sure the center panel is full. Something else that I do that really helps alot with eliminating such a hot spot... is I put wax paper over the plastic lens. Gives it more of a wash effect. Test it out once with your spots. Who know's, maybe you wont need to buy the colorstrips anymore after that.
@DJPolska07 I know how you feel. My issue with having subs so close was microphone feedback since I do karaoke! One positive part of having a facade is its professional appearence from the front (client view) allows you to hide wires.
@onstagedjkj well i dont have any issues with wires. i have a very good wire management. I literally have three plugs in my coffin and they are on the side. Power plug and 2 1/4" plugs ....i keep it very neat on my table. I love having the connection with my crowd so i def do not want to cover my coffin......i might make a facade thats 30 inches high or so, couple inches taller then standard table. I think that would look cool
@dan198078 each panel is 3' wide X 4' tall. I used black paint, but I recommend using black Stain instead. Also if you can, use Lycra instead of the white material I got from Walmart. Everything else you would need is mentioned in the video. It cost me around $60 to build this.
@kaney16 Yes and No. I have had people come and lean on it without having any issues at all. But I've also had a few people lean on it and it moved. It kind of depends on the ground its sitting on. If its carpeted, your good, if not, it could slide easy. The biggest issue I have with this, is when I'm using it during outdoor gigs and the wind decides to blow it everywhere.
@djgally73 Thanks man! Its been used/abused for 2 years. I'm about to change the screen with some machine washable lycra. No more need for a table skirt with this setup!
@azepzz That was one of my worries as well. I bought a 100' roll of velcrow (both sides) and stuck one side to the wood, then the other side to the fabric.. then rolled the fabric, THEN stapled it. I haven't had one staple come out in the past 2 years since.
Also btw bud. What brackets did you use for the 2 front pannels. Break away??? Can you send me a link please. I bought slip hinges, but your's looks much easier and quicker. Have you made a case for them yet?? ttyl
Wow only $66.00 that is it! just gota put the fabric on mine. Take a look at the updated vids on my channel, comment too. I spent at least over $100. The braces alone are $4 each and you need 16 of them, that's $64. Unless you are just talking about the frame, then my wood cost me $32 and the fabric was $24. The hinges were $18. so total I spent about $75 for just the basics. That total is excluding paint, braces, and hardware. So I am very impressed. what is your list of charges please?
@deejayollie Yeah it has been amazing for about 2 years now. Still use this today. The only thing I like more about using Lycra vs the stuff I bought from walmart, is if this stuff hits the corner of something, it will leave the imprint in the material, where as with Lycra, its stretchy so it wont leave any marks.
@deejayollie this is just some cheap stuff I got from walmart. Its not stretchable at all. If you can get your hands on some lycra... thats what they use for scrim-king material
@deejayollie The money you save doing this yourself can buy a full size colorstrip ($250) Just make sure your carefull when you stow them and transport them. the material can get dirty/damaged easy.
Hey bud, I am building my own as well, with videos. check out my channel. I am having a real hard time with the gluing. What did you use to keep each frame together? Screws in top or side? Did you cut them yourself diagonaly or did you have the store do it, I hear they can , but they advise me they couldn't (Menards) Please let me know, and keep up the good work. God bless.
@DJayBlest I cut the wood myself. I used 1"x3" door trim with a rounded edge. All corner's were cut at 45degree angles. I decided to buy "L" brackets from the hardware store to keep it all together. I used 1"x 1/2" brackets for the inside of each square, and 2"b1/2" L brackets for the outsides. I haven't had an issue with them at all.
You inspired me to build this tonight. Watched the video once, took notes, and I'm already half way done. Nice easy way to build one for under $150, thanks a lot !
@nofuture2020 Yes you can find these in various places online, but normally they will run you at least $200 (american dollars). You can find them at dragonfrontboards . com AND djlightboard . com
@nofuture2020 The white part is a spandex type of material that allow's light to shine through it, but yet it hides the wires from the dj rig making it elegant in appearence to the guests.
@litldancingrl10 I used a silky type of material I found at Walmart, but I would recommend using Lycra if you can find it. Its stretchable, giving less wrinkles. I mounted it by using velcrow strips, then I stapled the crap out of it because the velcrow didn't stick to the material to well.
@RMSENTERTAINMENT I apologize, but I really dont know exactly what I used. I know I found it at walmart. Its shiny on one side, dull on the other. I made sure that when I held my hand 1' away from the back side of it I couldn't see my hand... I did this so I knew that from the front side, you couldn't see through it to see the wires behind it.
@vashonn Thanks, their really not all that hard to do yourself, and their perfect for any gig. Just make sure you brace them because people ALWAYS come and lean on them.
It is not a FICADE.... Man any DJs that are not near the NY area are a bunch of weirdos...LOL.
