DIY Sound Absorption Acoustic Panels For $20! // How To Build

[@craftedworkshop]

These simple acoustic panels have made a huge difference in the sound in the new workshop! I definitely encourage you to build a set if you have an echoey space like mine. Thanks to LastPass for sponsoring this, check out LastPass here: lastpass.onelink.me/HzaM/MayCraftedWorkshop

One of the Best Ideas of SoundProofing is "SoundProof Curtains" it actually Block outside Noise coming from Windows. Check Here: livesoundproof.com/best-soundproof-curtains/

I've done exactly this in my shop and it made a huge difference!

[@JUNK_ZONE]

It’d be a good idea to build 4 more of these for the high corners in the room. That’s where a lot of sound energy builds up and gets spit back in all directions around the room laterally.

[@MrGarycharters]

That's what I was thinking. A lot of reverberation from the sides and corners.

[@craftedworkshop]

For sure, I wanted to see what the sound in the space was like after getting everything moved in then make more adjustments from there. I know bass traps and other corner treatments are super common in the audio world.

Thanks guys for the tips! Just made these based off your specs and everything came out great! I would post pics here if I could. I would suggest making the space a little bigger in the dimensions but otherwise very helpful

LANDSCAPING FABRIC!!!! BRILLIANT!!!

[@edal1015]

I’ve seen other videos use old towels they get from thrift stores. Maybe doing a comparisons of the different fillings? One with the the towels the other with the insulation. I’d love to see that.

[@MykMallett]

Any idea for making these for outdoor areas? Ie a covered balcony that might get wet on rate occasions

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Wow, very cool bud. Simple bud architecturally pleasing too. Shop is coming together nicely. Until the next one, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks a lot!

[@freshoffthesaw8090]

Shop is looking great! More space for activities!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks a lot!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Sounds like they work quite well & they look nice too! Always a nice bonus.

[@joshuablair6120]

Frank Howarth made these same DIY panels in his shop years ago, and the difference was impressive. Were your panels modeled off his?

[@Ashe_Fenrir]

I thought Rockwool was supposed to be safe to handle without a respirator and gloves? Can someone please clarify?

[@spilkspmilk6798]

fiber glass is very itchy just not worth it for acoustic panels hence the gloves and the mask was just a little extra because being itchy all day is no fun at all

[@anyonecanbuildwoodshop1827]

Great idea and the shop is looking great. I was looking into the foam panels but I just might try this, thank you for the idea.

[@oldestpunkinargentina7766]

If I make these with acoustic foam inside instead of rockwool (rockwool too heavy, and need them portable) how effective will they be ? Will they still be worth ? Thanx !

[@malloryrobinson6418]

I am enjoying your shop build series! Cant wait to see what project you put out next :)

[@anthonyfauci2343]

Work tremendously. Look fantastic. And they were affordable. What more could you ask for?

[@frankthetankricard]

Those panels should work pretty decently but you put them on the one surface in that space with the least amount of direct reflections. The shape of the ceiling already diffuses some of the sound while all the walls and the floor are pretty much dead flat. Sure they're going to help some but the tools and furniture you put in there will have a bigger effect on sound clarity because they'll provide further diffusion. If you plan on filming in the office area a nice thick rug will help even more.

[@WoodworkingEngineering]

Well, that’s a pretty good lessons of comfort engineering: you don’t need to cover the whole roof to reduce the echo 😊💪 One additional thing you can do is to add some more panels in a vertical position. That will help reducing the reflections in that T shaped roof. You can also made them “artistic”, using different colors, different shapes, different angles. 😎

[@Manny.64]

Another inspiration DIY vid!!! What does the tattoo on your arm say ?

[@mmchx]

They teach that fabric stretching technique in art school because that is how you can stretch your own canvasses.

[@ToxicMetropolis]

What's respirator you used at around 6:10 mark? And is facial hair a problem at all for this? I like having a beard, but I would also like not to clog my lungs when sanding :)

[@craftedworkshop]

It’s from 3M. Having no facial hair is definitely ideal but I still get a good enough seal to make the respirator work well.

[@ToxicMetropolis]

@@craftedworkshopThanks, I'll look into it!

[@macedindu829]

I was just thinking about this project today, wondering when the next video would drop. Pulled up youtube and voila! BTW, LastPass is the shit.

[@loslosbaby]

The problem with reaching for wood on saws, even with guards on, will take care of itself, eventually.

[@MadebyMitch]

Nice project Johnny. I need to make some of these as well. 👍

[@steveo107]

What is that shroud on your miter saw?!

[@craftedworkshop]

It’s from FastCap, really helps manage the dust!

[@steveo107]

@@craftedworkshop Thanks! Going to have to add it to my arsenal

[@UNKN0WN_YT]

Enjoying the shop build. But I’m still waiting for your video saying why you decided to get a space like this, and build out, etc. and if you have plans for “bigger and better things”.

[@stevebereitschaft9165]

i finished my basement and just dryfall painted the existing floor joist (no drywall or drop ceiling) would these help with dampening the sound transfer from basement to upstairs?

[@BloopsnBleeps]

No, they don't insulate sound from other rooms.

[@goodolboycustoms]

Looks awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@reforzar]

Great stuff. I’ve never had an extra 2x4 😆

[@craftedworkshop]

[@FredMcIntyre]

Definitely makes a difference, nice work Johnny! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

Nice job!

Hi...i will like to know what are the functions of sponsors in your projects or how do they assist you, cuz in each and every project u will be announcing the sponsor....can u plz tell me about this thing of sponsors.

[@Drowsyrhino1979]

They give him money so he can buy the stuff he needs for the project, pay his buddy to help him, get a frosty cold one when he's done... pay his house payment.

[@phomelelomadidimale7717]

U apply for them or they jst make an offer without applying?

[@Drowsyrhino1979]

@@phomelelomadidimale7717 I'd imagine they reached out to him, knowing a lot of youtubers are open to some type of sponship.

[@phomelelomadidimale7717]

Okay...thanks a lot for your time...🤝

[@christofix]

5:22 This seemed like diapers at first sight. LOL. Nice done! you can make these fast and easy.

[@bg73]

haha - I thought the same thing :)

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah!

[@kostasgnt]

Yay anoher video

[@mariod7473]

is it not hazardous to breath in emanations from the insulation material over the years???? You only covers these panels with a very porous liner....

[@ciroquiroz5804]

Que ??? Y los subtítulos en español donde estan🤔🤗

That is awesome guy's you Rock,I love the idea to good job later :)

2x4's -- way way overkill. Looks great though.

[@leviharris413]

That's probably the only time I've ever heard someone say burlap looks nice lol

[@emilylindstrom724]

It really does though on ceilings , My Little Homestead used it in their kitchen and it's fabulous.

[@nikleiser5888]

Love your channel (especially this episode). Grüße aus Deutschland Nik

[@gr3y27]

not everyone has all this gear

[@craftedworkshop]

A miter saw and a drill are pretty basic. You could use a circular saw instead if you'd like.

[@Sadowsky46]

Well, in the workshop you have to wear P3-grade masks anyhow 😉

[@paulmunro3050]

Erm.. didn't really get before and after! Regardless thanks for sharing

[@cashallen1931]

I’m sorry, but we had to wait a week for a 2x4 frame with insulation in it? Buuuuuut, it definitely works!

[@craftedworkshop]

I mean, it was its own project. Wouldn’t have made sense to make it part of another shop build video.
