How to make a large whiteboard

[CUSH2740]

I have to make a 77" high x 80" wide white board for some mobile office cubes Im Building. Any advatage of using one type of material for the board rather than something different?>What would you recommend I use for something like this>?

@CUSH2740 The only thing that I would worry about with a large board is not erasing it within say a month. Then it makes it harder to come off of certain kinds of plexiglas. The cheaper quality plexiglas has a bad habit of not erasing. I had better experience with polycarbonate plexiglas...

I'm wondering why paint if it's going to be installed on a white wall. I will be trying this though. Hoping it comes in big sheets so I can do the majority of a wall in my son's room. Thanks for the vid!

@send2steph You can get away with that IF it is flush to the wall. If there is a gap between the wall and the sheet, it will cause a shadow effect. Same goes for using too thick of plexiglas.

Thanks for the good idea. I like your method. Your point about dropping the glass is important. It would be a good video tip if you dropped it and showed that nothing really bad happens. That would be a good video.

Very interesting... I am a missionary in Cameroon, Africa and I am going to try and find me some of these materials, or close to it, and fab me one of these babies! I will try a small one for my kiddo's and if all goes well then a large one for our bible school. Thanks and well, done!

@mishunary Make sure to get a nice rigid material for the large board :)

lol drilling fail...u seem cool though like i would hangout with u if i knew u

[sgtjlopez]

hahaha. So flippin' true. I wasn't going to use another piece of plexiglas just to get a good shot.

I found a small square piece of glass, and drew on it. It's suprisingly good! you can erase in one swipe. i think you could just buy a piece of glass or find on, put some white behind it, and it could also work as a whiteboard!

[sgtjlopez]

Yeah, but be careful. Drop your whiteboard, and I'll drop mine--we'll see which one is a bunch of shards. lol. Not to mention the edges of a pane of glass are sharp, unless you got a filed down piece--like for a table top.

Love the fast forward effect. I also saw your work name tag in the background :)

[sgtjlopez]

hahaha...yup

[sgtjlopez]

:( Not yet. It's covered with stuff right now, but I'll give a rundown of the components in my next video. 

That's going on my whiteboard right now! Make clay table video...done. I'll get on it asap
