" Wow."

" There's a certain system has brought you by good data not job dolby. And Netflix. Are the long promised DIY high definition projectors show is here. I don't -- a promising does that have for awhile like -- simple things or at least seemingly straightforward things Murphy's law crept into the baseball that wreaks havoc upon our. Well you know their habit like four maybe five flat panels. Few hundred dollars and mail order -- a few days waiting for storm to pass by you have broken bulb it. Well you get the idea the much awaited DIY video projector. Going to happen today's episode of system. After ready it's exodus started LCD flat panels will explain later we finally have the makings of work the way LCD projector and it's gonna be high -- like an eighty. All the way we actually pick -- and help I picked up some help in the shape of mister David -- you may remember David from our robot episodes fact you've probably never seen it without a robot we decided he was so helpful so much fun."

" And so good in the machine shop we drag -- and everything else we're doing so like to officially welcome Dave to assist seventeen your view photos that you there if you lost that and here's a -- of our own time time. So. Where we're people who want to what you want to start but he. Let's start whether do yourself LCD panel on which can projector video games rather -- I'm -- little screen is big and which screen hero is an interesting concentrate much people out in the Internet figured out that you take the guts. If flat panel generally like desktop. Does that LCD flat panel strip it. And and you -- flat panel about the backlight and you can put it be -- Atlanta behind it. As bright as the sun or at least a lot right and you're using your house normally and turn that with the help of some other stuff into a protector. Porter plus 65 -- it means basically is sunlight in a giant contraption and this thing we'll give you 20000 hours of flight which is epic in a projector world is gonna cost like 25 -- fifty bucks. This is a -- you 300 dollars that would cost for replacement -- Authority projectors -- Exactly and which -- put right now we got a lot of help and assistance from Linden labs dot com which. They -- an accident some pretty amazing. Robotic -- link it's on the way but. That basically viewing kit for. -- building a projector and -- this is not a kid like a complete collection of parts that you paint and put together in the put a model car. This is the core components of a projector the elected that you are gonna find your local hardware store. You're gonna need to provide separate from the get an LCD flat panel. And woods and a lot of patience."

" One of the cool things a little -- provides where you. Is case online tool which will allow you to calibrate how far the friend for no one's it is from the LCD panel. How far the LCD panel is from these. Final production alone is how big you want to hear I don't protections going to be penalties. Yeah who was to get really clever this is essentially fixed focus projectors designed to do you single specific distance from this green. Your progress going to have to post left everything inside your projector box. With the help of the fabulous free Linden -- guy who's a giant PDF to walk you through all of the various poetry. She's she's our progress reports that it -- one and uses this big thing here is not actually the main power supply because of the ballast for the last. And Dallas is not something that keeps the boat afloat novellus there's something that powers just the lamp. Because it takes so much power you -- very clean power to prevent Apple from flickering and causing other distractions to your giant entry that would be that that would -- about. You also have. -- finally out of town. It was one plus 11 of those. Power supply is. Two for no lenses. One to focus eleven you'll see flat panel wonderful excellent on the triplets which is also included. And the triplets basically it focuses things on wall or call because it's actually got three different lenses and so cool. One of these we should definitely say right now is. A nastier parts especially your flat panel first thing you'll have the ability to venture and plan everything out. Because if you're saved waiting for another -- through John fifteen inch flat panel are waiting for mail order by penalty if -- that you really can't do anything else until it shows up sit back and also -- the -- the flat panel isn't necessarily going to be the same way it has different Allen's and so indicate in our case. Are flat panel actually an inch longer than her from balances which basically means that. We're all of these we're gonna clip a little bit side to side in terms the final screen resolution of we should point out that was more an error between the keyboard and chair that was thankful there. Get a check deals involved okay here that's the problem exists between keyboard music that break your. The workshop."

" So -- are part I don't know what I think reviews were going to slot the size box. But that means is basically if you change something or install something we just. -- Each slot going to be different based on the length. You're for Nolan uses your public permanent and your LCD panels and basically have to figure out which is the longest those which is the shortest news. And mixtures that half the distance between them is long enough to slot and you don't work that heavy piece hmm. Site the height of the size of the box yes releases like this point at least as much."

" Could be doing like a coffin box basically you coffin box to see the area but for balances the flat panels that you part. That tapers towards the triplet tapers towards the light source now if you just want to make about the standard you make a box absolutely me. -- but it tapered and really cool. I think we're just for boxes can you imagine. And they got vanished and her way so you also different things you just robots yet. How much -- one person's property that we're definitely -- into the quick and dirty -- at this point. Very simple involved we me pretty remain free re but first got a -- so -- space. Teachers have and balances apartment which happens text size. To. End the LCD display and front of the -- pounds plays well into quieter. And -- and balances. It's also almost three times that. This is the problem more so for our particular installation your mileage is definitely -- point. Here very lucky in mind all in one -- stick. In which case all of us in the exactly. We're not. First period. It's just kind and we brought -- of -- me to. To be an infinite. And Atlantic vouchers if you don't have a -- you can do this other ways you can stick -- piece of paper and pen notebook paper and the answer that this paper. Trying to measure societies and and in this case basically you're looking to be milliseconds. -- Clinton's -- So. Jealous and here's the link to submit. -- We know this is -- up so we don't America and again. So across. We know just cut. The union. Yeah. No matter what's that are. And now -- I've no idea. Our answer it forward because you'll economy street cutting right these. You're cut the links now the nice thing about component the two sides that are going to be here it is so relevant. First cutting. The -- the two sides or pox yet she says she left and right. So instead of cutting. Two separate side will lose -- cut."

" Down most I think that is -- guaranteed."

" Because. I don't have to work it's a great book that engine me. So we know we want to start when he that is after -- gone nine. Surprise he's so cool. And so -- good points twice -- me back in order to -- 120 millimeters back. From the front of the box. You personal ones. I mean and then compare and it and a little. Suffered gives us all of his -- based on what -- final presentation --"

" Because you basically playing with the -- like to -- and I don't want the focal length to be directly in the center of the Tripoli want to little Fordham prep what to take advantage. I was much of the trip with plans to."

" Based on your room size so this your room if you want that projection screen to be. Twenty feet away from projector and a huge thing you're gonna make it about. In put into the box and figure out. Who's the longer box. So basically you're just figure out really where you want your projector and -- on how much just there's."

" And and it in the map actually video doesn't -- power to. Yeah April hook up to hook up to us."

" Let's take a moment -- one of our sponsors GoDaddy got -- you can Trace remaining go to -- for as little as six dollars 99 cents you have 41 -- extension was -- why do you care because some other competitors. Are jacking up prices I think 35 bucks for a single year forget about. GoDaddy makes trades -- easy offers a -- of extras included posting -- IP site builder complete email total DS controlling quite a bit more for as little as six dollars and 99 cents go to a recently started registering dot Seagate remained in sort that you brethren.

He's your -- and Internet Internet dot com please support us by supporting our sponsors."

" We have for now. We have -- policy we have for now."

" Present all. Earned it and we have our -- color. Which is marketed under the patriot games lessons and math realized there is no different. And more -- there is between all this. Generics. There is however a really big difference between."

" What is tenacity front and the back of the US and Alexa and of course it's gonna be a giant much of labeling on it and bunch of security. You know instructions and likes anything languages which you care about there was finding out. Which side is supposed to be. -- seen the sun because one of these what you is usually UV protection built into this to help protect the lands and also because it's designed to be facing towards the light so 400 watt lamp. Some like facing section -- from my PC side of your likes and that's important."

" Poly carbon has a very property is extremely strong in this way. But not very strong this so in -- combat we've seen is on many occasions where. Big Three 140 pound -- we'll go flying an election hit it here we're big chunks of robots from broken off a free and pretty much okay here it'll bounce off. Illegal scratch there and the audience on the underside of the poly carbonate is perfectly safe."

" However any compression this. -- means it is very easy. So basically any kind of dance on tables. Circus. Even hints and -- goings. And it's. Easier than it. --"

" Pretty fabulous excel tend ubiquitous describe this over and over again. With the knife blade eight ala. The basic box cutter of the first played in it and once you've got knee deep enough food on the table edge. And I have gotten deep enough or else it would. Crack nice clean line."

" So I've also measured our LCD panel which unlike our condolences and poly carbonate is not one infinite state. But with the LCD holder it's a quarter earnings so recognized me to passes with. The blade two cover its wit not to mention -- to cover it up. So now I've got micro SB many use mind. Stated here. To mark the sciences this is how to coming -- not going to be able to see. The marking since it's gonna be upside down at the time. So once this is all done we'll have nice cuts all the way down in -- cut in -- So that we can folded over and both of these sides of any insights just that the middle portion here we'll end -- being the top and so this will be from bottom to top top. And violent cut. And and what mobile suspect here. Trying to plug."

" with paper excellent papers we have a paper our nation. Eight -- properly and give us what we call me pressed and pressed that is you know after a clue it's in there just nice and it's not -- So -- could pretend this is actually vertical and review a test of our. Slut. We can see -- and -- in nice and tight and it's now been there and so now we should do like run it through the entire sloppy. -- And there's actually a little bit of effort put all the way through the whole slot. It sounds silly but it's always good check if it was to loosen the fit. I'm once the entire piece was assembled you might have to worry about -- and popping out. I'm and then ruining everything. If it's to type of."

" That you might have to worry about it not fitting in their at all."

" Excellent."

" And we conceive using -- very nice very hero tests are. For now runs her other proponents point error --"

" Sometimes it for whatever reason thought better. Here -- some of the plastic. And that plastic bags that -- Abu and so now we have to adjust our final cut to. One half inch plus 18. News. Four days -- when it is five days but that doesn't. -- Good samaritan I don't really want to push it further pressure since --"

" So straight answers that's benefit almost perfect because it so fragile. And we want to slotted in one's."

" And so now we have a perfect inside their perfectly matched. So we don't have to worry about anything being off angle. Cases means you've cut this as a single -- so now what images of mr. razor blade on campus exactly happened and pulled him over me and and in -- this piece of what we've actually taken into account the depth of the blade. So this piece of wood is actually a little bit we want we want to twelve. But this piece it was actually cut astute point four aunt and an eight. So you know."

" You're -- need to use this because our table saw."

" So Patrick soon."

" Measure then out to. Thomas sixteen. And in theory general please. We should have to be exactly -- them."

" Now -- together you can see if they're gonna slot."

" Yeah. And."

" Created giant pile of discarded monitor parts some of these usable some of these aren't. These little guys there's an example of being monitored you would not be able to use because. The -- connectors which are these fragile little puppies that connect to top among monitor in this case cannot be -- back how much you can. Basically create the even though go from here down here that here over here which most people can't. This assembly or stripping of the flat panel is takes patience. You want to be really really care who gets connectors that come off easy and once of the attacks these flat panel is useless. Need backlight. Just basically drops right off and cut your flat panel. So your buttons are being in your video processing unit here powers come off of the sport over here which is great in some cases we've seen two separate. Video processing boards in the back of flat panel. Or -- giants certainly tries connected to control buttons basically keep an idea of -- being held it together if you don't -- view of it. Taking pictures as you disassembled things can be super super helpful later on trying to figure out which really bizarre ribbon connector goes to which polices are -- connect somewhere else. Because once and awhile you end up. For the board with a bunch of really similar."

" Looking ribbon connectors and that is incredibly frustrating. And by the way if you don't check the we've actually guaranteed in nature it actually works. List of flat panels on the website view. Have the potential of buying clothes too were three or four monitors that won't actually work because of the way there constructed. Which can get expensive after a while you can with junk fifteen flat panels -- local it well."

" things I'm doing is and got these little block sees half -- box and it. Because the lamp -- is so hot and produce so much heat. I'm it would melt Tom all the for Nolan uses and would destroy. The -- humans so what we're doing is first we've got. This poly carbon in here that you could help protect them but we're also having an air gaps -- facts here. On in what will be back of the projection box there's to be fan. And the fans is going to blow cool air in the -- cool air needs to escape and so we've got here is an air -- what happens when. -- the Polly carver is is in here is now we've got to spare gap. And I'm just doing this -- prep test it so that we. See how things go together is even actually the public are sheet of using I'm wearing some of dust and filth on this -- Hershey. It would be worthless so basically toughest test -- here now so we can mock up this one before in the final one. And so now what would you see here's my if my fingers can compare basically that gives -- a half -- area and half -- air gap. Will allow the air. Blowing it crossed to to be pushed out -- pulled in depending on what we amendment and and -- up here towards the top of the final. Projection box will also have holes building here so basically we can conduct air all the way through and keep everything nice and cool. I'm if you're standing right behind projector you were going to be hot. But you don't have to worry about the for Nolan uses or the LCD screen -- You know at the -- LCD panel is eight and three quarter inches -- And much I missed -- Four and threes it's exactly the half height. Are LCD panel. -- And one thing you want to be careful about when you get your kid and your for no one uses is that you want to keep them in little the little plastic safety bags that they comin'. And you don't want to play with them because is if you look at these are now covered in dust and fingerprints. Sought us I'm officers -- generalized Pratt and probably that is is that's gonna be reflected on -- and scream when we're gonna project. So now we have to spend an inordinate amount of time. Here at the workshop late at night. Cleaning and different islands is because you know Patrick and I are two kids and Kenny who Kuwait who and so we take -- look into them and play with them and and -- that dopey things -- cost us a lot of time. So we get your condolences to sleep on an obstacle play."

" And it takes a long -- agreement. So you get -- for Allen's -- kit. And it."

" Unfortunately their remarks -- taken. They look the -- It would be nice. If the people at Linden labs and -- out actually put like a little. Read straight Britain -- straight on one of them consistently so you can always know the difference. So what -- tell you is they have. Different focal lengths. Twenty centimeters and 33 centimeters so the only way to find -- sound."

" Is. -- is their object."

" And twenty centimeters up to 33. So -- twenty civilians. Twenty centimeters in this one seems to focus. Selection here when it is there. Which means that this woman 33. Focus so I don't know that this is 33 centimeter. Focal length for now ones and following my own good advice and take -- straight. The 33. Centimeter lands just for my own purposes so I always know which which. And now because our annual slots. You'll notice how easy assembly is an -- and so what we have to do is we have to kind of all of this area right here. In order to make power. LCD panel. Adapters fit. Time. Constitute a bit of work because. We don't have a -- normally what you would have is a mill. On and we -- does is it mill is kind of lake in drill press except for the bit is flat that's pointed the end and the with a million have a table --"

" Okay for preventative into the."

" And get rid of the parts you know one we don't have that so it's going to be a little bit extra difficult so what we're gonna do is we're gonna -- you can find this. With our. Table saw. And just as I kind of these groups with the table saw -- kind of gurus. It's just an amusement hackers right here and in lieu of using them. And hopefully. Because we've come right down to the new year with they're really deep group. For RL CD panel. Hopefully we won't break the actual. Final veneer of the way it. And for those who are curious why we did this mostly because we can only find recorder and board rather than one inch thick -- And again when -- critical points of making your own Elsie Mayer home. Is trying to get for now lenses and Osce monitors of the same -- unfortunately we couldn't do that so you can actually see the full. Half -- distance difference. Between the width of different islands and the with the LCD --"

" It's."

" Let's take a moment -- Netflix sponsored -- pick of the week this week a -- personal favorite pump up the volume sorry -- on -- heart problems back on the little screen teen rebel Christian -- when he was that -- probable until that the hailed the disaffected he -- confidence -- frustrations by running -- pirate radio stations at night under the handle well I'm gonna sit right here is broadcast eventually spur social of the local high school and quite a conflict with the FCC AV at all with a soldering -- a green and ham radio -- appearance -- improbable yes but if you haven't seen this movie you're missing out on a spotlight including some of the masses look at quite fabulous so added up to your Netflix -- and get yourself a favor don't forget to check out the other 100000 titles Netflix has to offer including. What we bet is a bigger selection -- Blu-ray -- and you're gonna find the local video shop plus with -- almost forty shipping centers nationwide almost -- happened in a single business day -- both ways. Plans start at four dollars night and test your system you're listening got a -- Korea forty trial by signing up today at www. Netflix dot com slash system. Support systems by supporting our sponsors."

" So which can see I've done here because we needed that extra space."

" For our. Control panel on Trevor. I'm just basically. Sought it out you can actually see up close. On the cuts here. They've gotten you know there's a -- is. But you can basically see it's just it's just one at a time and keep in mind so you back -- section policeman and so back here it's it's meant enough. But now that that it the electronic -- fit in this -- going Nat on the tonight is have to do with the other other -- Com and now how well lectures and give us election venting space. Pull marketers through it which will help hold on -- been called on the -- so it does -- elements added benefit. So basically we can see. -- computer monitor in the background so basically I now know that. -- the front end of this box is going to be another eleven inches. Verses. Probably be dead on actual final estimate was just to spite me."

" is mr. measurements because he's an action."

" So. Now have to do it -- the rest of the box and make -- So knowing -- all of the dynamics of how to box works and getting all of our lenses. Positions correcting and we know that you know how electronics work and everything is gonna reassemble the final box. Com and in doing so we want to look -- don't want to be just functional and not look pretty. So what we're using his reason what are called -- cuts and whatever that is it's in ninety degree there's 45 degree kinda like that. So that would -- assemble our box. All the corners come together. Very nice. Pleasant. Appearance. Like that. If you don't do something like battle -- when you put your box together. -- look something like this on an as you can see I mean. It's functional but it's not gonna look at it so basically right now we've we've turned it. The angle on the sought to 45 degrees and then -- cleaning -- all these these boards so we've come together -- it'll look. Just as good in a box. As it does on the law. And there's always. --"

" it'll tell what."

" And so this will be back quick -- a box on where the fan exhausts the common all the buttons and electronics ago. But it was -- look and when it's all assembled. It's nice and much like that. There's one of those things where you don't. To do this by any means but it does look a little bit better. The other way about a only gearbox. Is in making it look pretty if we don't. Holes and put screws on the outside."

" According to have these big at least cruise. Showing here. And to make it look a little bit nicer. -- I'm actually gonna do. Is. Use these mounting locks so accurate screw everything together from the inside. What he's money boxes so basically what you do as you put one -- through. The book through this way and another one. Through this way and that. -- You'll see any screws from the outside it'll just make about us look a little bit it's. It kind of pointless to. Spent all the time. Money this."

" There is from the inside if we go all the way through and and had a gaping hole there. So of these women do in placing my bit on you run into things if you happen happens all the bits stuff which is a little caught that's over the dead and -- you -- down. -- In case there is small enough that we can actually just measure out in terms of distance through. And then when he actually head of the bit. -- Goes through the tape goes."

" To the end of via. But there. That's are actually effective it stopped."

" And so this -- and and drilling might pilot holes Herman screws. So this women go to my pilot -- screws. We can actually see that it's not gonna go with Google endorsed city. Opposite side. But not quite so -- nice pilot holes so that the screws. Go into much more easily but they don't actually go all the way out. And of course for using screws that are just a little bit shorter then the distance are mounting blacks and the actual money would. A final peace to -- take everything -- is. The actual -- months so we have to mountainous Norwood. How do we do that well. He's the whole whole credit which basically do is figure senate finance -- ago little red lines -- an open. You -- a tiny little hole through there -- you're -- able. -- and then using the whole Carter we cut a hole in this case we have been using it to me half inch. Diameter hole Carter. Two and three quarters excuse me which is the same diameter as this in the us tripled and slot right in -- notices. Is fairly deep so now we can actually use that as a focal plane well. -- and I'm working with a good is it creates a lot of sawdust. You're also working with optics which don't likes us. So perform the test that idea actually -- in there and introduces couldn't clean of all the sawdust otherwise it's gonna get in the triplet. And then when your watching movies or your video games you're gonna have a lot. What looks like fuzz. But -- is in fact does."

" Because there is gonna."

" We have. And nice sitting lens mount."

" And then clearly you."

" Fisher projector and I out of private are hurt Patrick has rejoined us. On what it is in the final and is we have a very tall screen here in fact. We brought the projector closer to the wall just to help lets you see all of this other -- be -- blown out. I'm is. Hot hardware to put this together on the cost us about 500 dollars just for the LCD monitor so if you want a 1080. Widescreen projector you know this is a cheaper way of going about it if you're willing to go -- you know a lower resolution here -- Honestly better off just buying your projector but. For 1080. You know you can't beat the price but it is going to take a couple of weekends Vietnam and it is going to be you know its its opinion but it's not it's not easy. And you might go through four projector trying to do that."

" Hopefully now one of these we've learned obviously is -- the project -- first that you have a pro kit right the crew the pro kit comes with a basically come to -- lenses big enough work with nineteen inch flat panel monitor is. Which means you could buy like a 200 dollar moderate if you can find one on the repeat this works LCD list. You work with basically a much larger box and spent a lot less money. On the -- the basically the LC DB in the -- a lot more money on the lenses senate recipient probably around seminary hundred bucks in parts. And would and we weren't even going to try to estimate about tired of having this at this point."

" Bad part of it is the failure rate of of making some it doesn't work and then having to remake it. It yeah you know -- all -- people who like to do it yourself even if you Bart saving any money so it's again it's an interesting yeah. Kit it's an instinct thing and it and skewed view of a giant screen if you're doing this at home. You will absolutely need it is a darker -- these projectors are gonna work in a police -- room it's just it's not gonna happen it's gonna have to be in a dark room. But the big silver screen."

" That said that so let's go back to studio are. All right that's it for this episode we like to thank you for sticking with us and this project until next time you've been watching systems. And and yeah united -- if you honestly never thought. Even those this past me like. -- very important. Thing. -- just found out my system has -- the end is in the iPhone dictionary they're corrected my style system. Could it be what is it takes up."

" Wow."

" There's a certain system has brought you by good data not job dolby. And Netflix. Are the long promised DIY high definition projectors show is here. I don't -- a promising does that have for awhile like -- simple things or at least seemingly straightforward things Murphy's law crept into the baseball that wreaks havoc upon our. Well you know their habit like four maybe five flat panels. Few hundred dollars and mail order -- a few days waiting for storm to pass by you have broken bulb it. Well you get the idea the much awaited DIY video projector. Going to happen today's episode of system. After ready it's exodus started LCD flat panels will explain later we finally have the makings of work the way LCD projector and it's gonna be high -- like an eighty. All the way we actually pick -- and help I picked up some help in the shape of mister David -- you may remember David from our robot episodes fact you've probably never seen it without a robot we decided he was so helpful so much fun."

" And so good in the machine shop we drag -- and everything else we're doing so like to officially welcome Dave to assist seventeen your view photos that you there if you lost that and here's a -- of our own time time. So. Where we're people who want to what you want to start but he. Let's start whether do yourself LCD panel on which can projector video games rather -- I'm -- little screen is big and which screen hero is an interesting concentrate much people out in the Internet figured out that you take the guts. If flat panel generally like desktop. Does that LCD flat panel strip it. And and you -- flat panel about the backlight and you can put it be -- Atlanta behind it. As bright as the sun or at least a lot right and you're using your house normally and turn that with the help of some other stuff into a protector. Porter plus 65 -- it means basically is sunlight in a giant contraption and this thing we'll give you 20000 hours of flight which is epic in a projector world is gonna cost like 25 -- fifty bucks. This is a -- you 300 dollars that would cost for replacement -- Authority projectors -- Exactly and which -- put right now we got a lot of help and assistance from Linden labs dot com which. They -- an accident some pretty amazing. Robotic -- link it's on the way but. That basically viewing kit for. -- building a projector and -- this is not a kid like a complete collection of parts that you paint and put together in the put a model car. This is the core components of a projector the elected that you are gonna find your local hardware store. You're gonna need to provide separate from the get an LCD flat panel. And woods and a lot of patience."

" One of the cool things a little -- provides where you. Is case online tool which will allow you to calibrate how far the friend for no one's it is from the LCD panel. How far the LCD panel is from these. Final production alone is how big you want to hear I don't protections going to be penalties. Yeah who was to get really clever this is essentially fixed focus projectors designed to do you single specific distance from this green. Your progress going to have to post left everything inside your projector box. With the help of the fabulous free Linden -- guy who's a giant PDF to walk you through all of the various poetry. She's she's our progress reports that it -- one and uses this big thing here is not actually the main power supply because of the ballast for the last. And Dallas is not something that keeps the boat afloat novellus there's something that powers just the lamp. Because it takes so much power you -- very clean power to prevent Apple from flickering and causing other distractions to your giant entry that would be that that would -- about. You also have. -- finally out of town. It was one plus 11 of those. Power supply is. Two for no lenses. One to focus eleven you'll see flat panel wonderful excellent on the triplets which is also included. And the triplets basically it focuses things on wall or call because it's actually got three different lenses and so cool. One of these we should definitely say right now is. A nastier parts especially your flat panel first thing you'll have the ability to venture and plan everything out. Because if you're saved waiting for another -- through John fifteen inch flat panel are waiting for mail order by penalty if -- that you really can't do anything else until it shows up sit back and also -- the -- the flat panel isn't necessarily going to be the same way it has different Allen's and so indicate in our case.

" So -- are part I don't know what I think reviews were going to slot the size box. But that means is basically if you change something or install something we just. -- Each slot going to be different based on the length. You're for Nolan uses your public permanent and your LCD panels and basically have to figure out which is the longest those which is the shortest news. And mixtures that half the distance between them is long enough to slot and you don't work that heavy piece hmm. Site the height of the size of the box yes releases like this point at least as much."

" Could be doing like a coffin box basically you coffin box to see the area but for balances the flat panels that you part. That tapers towards the triplet tapers towards the light source now if you just want to make about the standard you make a box absolutely me. -- but it tapered and really cool. I think we're just for boxes can you imagine. And they got vanished and her way so you also different things you just robots yet.

" Down most I think that is -- guaranteed."

" Because. I don't have to work it's a great book that engine me. So we know we want to start when he that is after -- gone nine. Surprise he's so cool.

" Based on your room size so this your room if you want that projection screen to be. Twenty feet away from projector and a huge thing you're gonna make it about. In put into the box and figure out.

" Pretty fabulous excel tend ubiquitous describe this over and over again. With the knife blade eight ala. The basic box cutter of the first played in it and once you've got knee deep enough food on the table edge. And I have gotten deep enough or else it would. Crack nice clean line."

" So I've also measured our LCD panel which unlike our condolences and poly carbonate is not one infinite state. But with the LCD holder it's a quarter earnings so recognized me to passes with.

" That you might have to worry about it not fitting in their at all."

" Excellent."

" Created giant pile of discarded monitor parts some of these usable some of these aren't. These little guys there's an example of being monitored you would not be able to use because. The -- connectors which are these fragile little puppies that connect to top among monitor in this case cannot be -- back how much you can. Basically create the even though go from here down here that here over here which most people can't. This assembly or stripping of the flat panel is takes patience. You want to be really really care who gets connectors that come off easy and once of the attacks these flat panel is useless. Need backlight. Just basically drops right off and cut your flat panel. So your buttons are being in your video processing unit here powers come off of the sport over here which is great in some cases we've seen two separate. Video processing boards in the back of flat panel. Or -- giants certainly tries connected to control buttons basically keep an idea of -- being held it together if you don't -- view of it.

" Looking ribbon connectors and that is incredibly frustrating. And by the way if you don't check the we've actually guaranteed in nature it actually works. List of flat panels on the website view.

Which can get expensive after a while you can with junk fifteen flat panels -- local it well."

" things I'm doing is and got these little block sees half -- box and it. Because the lamp -- is so hot and produce so much heat. I'm it would melt Tom all the for Nolan uses and would destroy. The -- humans so what we're doing is first we've got. This poly carbon in here that you could help protect them but we're also having an air gaps -- facts here. On in what will be back of the projection box there's to be fan. And the fans is going to blow cool air in the -- cool air needs to escape and so we've got here is an air -- what happens when. -- the Polly carver is is in here is now we've got to spare gap. And I'm just doing this -- prep test it so that we. See how things go together is even actually the public are sheet of using I'm wearing some of dust and filth on this -- Hershey. It would be worthless so basically toughest test -- here now so we can mock up this one before in the final one. And so now what would you see here's my if my fingers can compare basically that gives -- a half -- area and half -- air gap. Will allow the air. Blowing it crossed to to be pushed out -- pulled in depending on what we amendment and and -- up here towards the top of the final. Projection box will also have holes building here so basically we can conduct air all the way through and keep everything nice and cool. I'm if you're standing right behind projector you were going to be hot. But you don't have to worry about the for Nolan uses or the LCD screen -- You know at the -- LCD panel is eight and three quarter inches -- And much I missed -- Four and threes it's exactly the half height. Are LCD panel. -- And one thing you want to be careful about when you get your kid and your for no one uses is that you want to keep them in little the little plastic safety bags that they comin'. And you don't want to play with them because is if you look at these are now covered in dust and fingerprints. Sought us I'm officers -- generalized Pratt and probably that is is that's gonna be reflected on -- and scream when we're gonna project. So now we have to spend an inordinate amount of time. Here at the workshop late at night. Cleaning and different islands is because you know Patrick and I are two kids and Kenny who Kuwait who and so we take -- look into them and play with them and and -- that dopey things -- cost us a lot of time. So we get your condolences to sleep on an obstacle play."

" And it takes a long -- agreement. So you get -- for Allen's -- kit. And it."

" Unfortunately their remarks -- taken. They look the -- It would be nice. If the people at Linden labs and -- out actually put like a little. Read straight Britain -- straight on one of them consistently so you can always know the difference. So what -- tell you is they have. Different focal lengths. Twenty centimeters and 33 centimeters so the only way to find -- sound."

" Is. -- is their object."

" And twenty centimeters up to 33. So -- twenty civilians. Twenty centimeters in this one seems to focus. Selection here when it is there. Which means that this woman 33. Focus so I don't know that this is 33 centimeter. Focal length for now ones and following my own good advice and take -- straight. The 33. Centimeter lands just for my own purposes so I always know which which. And now because our annual slots. You'll notice how easy assembly is an -- and so what we have to do is we have to kind of all of this area right here. In order to make power. LCD panel. Adapters fit. Time. Constitute a bit of work because. We don't have a -- normally what you would have is a mill. On and we -- does is it mill is kind of lake in drill press except for the bit is flat that's pointed the end and the with a million have a table --"

" Okay for preventative into the."

" And get rid of the parts you know one we don't have that so it's going to be a little bit extra difficult so what we're gonna do is we're gonna -- you can find this. With our. Table saw. And just as I kind of these groups with the table saw -- kind of gurus. It's just an amusement hackers right here and in lieu of using them. And hopefully. Because we've come right down to the new year with they're really deep group. For RL CD panel. Hopefully we won't break the actual. Final veneer of the way it.

" So which can see I've done here because we needed that extra space."

" For our. Control panel on Trevor. I'm just basically. Sought it out you can actually see up close. On the cuts here. They've gotten you know there's a -- is. But you can basically see it's just it's just one at a time and keep in mind so you back -- section policeman and so back here it's it's meant enough. But now that that it the electronic -- fit in this -- going Nat on the tonight is have to do with the other other -- Com and now how well lectures and give us election venting space. Pull marketers through it which will help hold on -- been called on the -- so it does -- elements added benefit. So basically we can see. -- computer monitor in the background so basically I now know that. -- the front end of this box is going to be another eleven inches. Verses. Probably be dead on actual final estimate was just to spite me."

" is mr. measurements because he's an action."

" So. Now have to do it -- the rest of the box and make -- So knowing -- all of the dynamics of how to box works and getting all of our lenses. Positions correcting and we know that you know how electronics work and everything is gonna reassemble the final box. Com and in doing so we want to look -- don't want to be just functional and not look pretty. So what we're using his reason what are called -- cuts and whatever that is it's in ninety degree there's 45 degree kinda like that. So that would -- assemble our box. All the corners come together. Very nice. Pleasant. Appearance. Like that. If you don't do something like battle -- when you put your box together. -- look something like this on an as you can see I mean. It's functional but it's not gonna look at it so basically right now we've we've turned it. The angle on the sought to 45 degrees and then -- cleaning -- all these these boards so we've come together -- it'll look. Just as good in a box. As it does on the law. And there's always. --"

" it'll tell what."

" And so this will be back quick -- a box on where the fan exhausts the common all the buttons and electronics ago. But it was -- look and when it's all assembled. It's nice and much like that. There's one of those things where you don't. To do this by any means but it does look a little bit better. The other way about a only gearbox. Is in making it look pretty if we don't. Holes and put screws on the outside."

" According to have these big at least cruise. Showing here. And to make it look a little bit nicer. -- I'm actually gonna do. Is. Use these mounting locks so accurate screw everything together from the inside. What he's money boxes so basically what you do as you put one -- through. The book through this way and another one. Through this way and that. -- You'll see any screws from the outside it'll just make about us look a little bit it's. It kind of pointless to. Spent all the time. Money this."

" There is from the inside if we go all the way through and and had a gaping hole there. So of these women do in placing my bit on you run into things if you happen happens all the bits stuff which is a little caught that's over the dead and -- you -- down. -- In case there is small enough that we can actually just measure out in terms of distance through. And then when he actually head of the bit. -- Goes through the tape goes."

" To the end of via. But there. That's are actually effective it stopped."

" And so this -- and and drilling might pilot holes Herman screws. So this women go to my pilot -- screws. We can actually see that it's not gonna go with Google endorsed city. Opposite side. But not quite so -- nice pilot holes so that the screws. Go into much more easily but they don't actually go all the way out. And of course for using screws that are just a little bit shorter then the distance are mounting blacks and the actual money would. A final peace to -- take everything -- is. The actual -- months so we have to mountainous Norwood. How do we do that well. He's the whole whole credit which basically do is figure senate finance -- ago little red lines -- an open. You -- a tiny little hole through there -- you're -- able. -- and then using the whole Carter we cut a hole in this case we have been using it to me half inch. Diameter hole Carter. Two and three quarters excuse me which is the same diameter as this in the us tripled and slot right in -- notices. Is fairly deep so now we can actually use that as a focal plane well. -- and I'm working with a good is it creates a lot of sawdust. You're also working with optics which don't likes us. So perform the test that idea actually -- in there and introduces couldn't clean of all the sawdust otherwise it's gonna get in the triplet. And then when your watching movies or your video games you're gonna have a lot. What looks like fuzz. But -- is in fact does."

" Because there is gonna."

" We have. And nice sitting lens mount."

" And then clearly you."

" Fisher projector and I out of private are hurt Patrick has rejoined us. On what it is in the final and is we have a very tall screen here in fact. We brought the projector closer to the wall just to help lets you see all of this other -- be -- blown out. I'm is. Hot hardware to put this together on the cost us about 500 dollars just for the LCD monitor so if you want a 1080. Widescreen projector you know this is a cheaper way of going about it if you're willing to go -- you know a lower resolution here -- Honestly better off just buying your projector but. For 1080. You know you can't beat the price but it is going to take a couple of weekends Vietnam and it is going to be you know its its opinion but it's not it's not easy. And you might go through four projector trying to do that."

" Hopefully now one of these we've learned obviously is -- the project -- first that you have a pro kit right the crew the pro kit comes with a basically come to -- lenses big enough work with nineteen inch flat panel monitor is. Which means you could buy like a 200 dollar moderate if you can find one on the repeat this works LCD list. You work with basically a much larger box and spent a lot less money. On the -- the basically the LC DB in the -- a lot more money on the lenses senate recipient probably around seminary hundred bucks in parts. And would and we weren't even going to try to estimate about tired of having this at this point."

" Bad part of it is the failure rate of of making some it doesn't work and then having to remake it. It yeah you know -- all -- people who like to do it yourself even if you Bart saving any money so it's again it's an interesting yeah. Kit it's an instinct thing and it and skewed view of a giant screen if you're doing this at home. You will absolutely need it is a darker -- these projectors are gonna work in a police -- room it's just it's not gonna happen it's gonna have to be in a dark room. But the big silver screen."

" That said that so let's go back to studio are. All right that's it for this episode we like to thank you for sticking with us and this project until next time you've been watching systems. And and yeah united -- if you honestly never thought. Even those this past me like. -- very important. Thing. -- just found out my system has -- the end is in the iPhone dictionary they're corrected my style system. Could it be what is it takes up."
