Well, after a very crazy year and half (during which, I totally let Mechman down by not sending him a sample of the paint that was being used to supposedly paint my wall for projector use - Sorry dude! I don't even live in the same state anymore, and I never got to shine more than a realtor's camera at that wall), I am finally going to try and get my HT back up.
Since I have an X1 and a totally light controlled area in my basement, I am going to give DW a try.
The hard part seems to be finding the material to use for a frame. I will need to put up and take down the screen between uses, so I am looking to make a frame ala Mechman's in the substrate forum/thread. However, finding straight pieces of poplar have been impossible at my local Lowe's. I am going to check out the Depot this afternoon, but do any of you guys have any other suggestions for place to find quality poplar boards?
Also, does anyone have any suggestions for increasing the torsional rigidity of a wooden frame to help prevent any warping?
Thanks!
