So this post is unabashed bragging. Ashley and I have been talking about purchasing a video projector for watching movies and playing our Xbox 360. Thanks to a gift from her grandparents we were able to purchase said projector (we got it refurbished off of ebay). We needed a screen. An inexpensive screen. After doing a bit of research we decided to make one ourselves. We bought some white blackout cloth and some 1×3’s. We put it all together and behold, our screen: Picture Removed
We over sized it so we can take it outside and play movies. It’s 94″ diagonal. My bragging comes with how smooth it is. I never expected us to be able to make it so large without having wrinkles in it. Ashley gets most of the credit for that, but I think it’s really cool. We built the whole thing in about 2 hours for around $25. End of bragging.
