The Ultimate Guide to Making a Folding Arched Backdrop

[@dancemonster90]

Such a great and informative video, I want to make one now even though I don’t need it. lol

[@woodshopbox]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Even if you don’t need it, making one can still be a fun project or a gift. Let me know if you have any questions along the way! Best regards, Andriy (Woodshopboxstudio)

[@yerffejytnac]

Please keep making videos like this, they’re so awesome!❤

[@woodshopbox]

thank you, appreciate it a lot!

[@philparker6576]

I loved the video. You got right to it. I liked your version enough to build two of these. I'm curious why the 3rd hinge in the middle of the fold? When in the upright position, the 2 sliding french cleats and the 2 hinges keep that seam flush.

This video is great and super helpful! Can you please do another video of the treat wall like this one with the voiceover and measurements? The treat wall video is also great but hard to follow along because there is no voice explaining instructions or giving measurements! Thanks in advance for your consideration and thanks for this great content!

[@woodshopbox]

Thank you so much for the feedback, it's much appreciated! As for the treat wall I'm planning to post one next week 👍

[@carolinaa8047]

Great video ! So thankful I found you on TikTok! What is the pink thing you are cutting onto of?

[@woodshopbox]

Thanks for watching! The pink thing is a standard construction foam board. It helps to protect surfaces and provide a stable cutting area.

[@kraftyrecollection2374]

Thank you!

[@woodshopbox]

Thank you 👍

[@azaelchavez703]

Super helpful 👌 👍

[@woodshopbox]

I'm glad! Thank you for watching

[@davidcoronado4953]

Can you make a tutorial about how you made the support for the fold? What tools did you use to make the boards that angle?

[@woodshopbox]

Yes, I’ve made a tutorial on that in my backdrop course. It covers how to create the supports and the tools used for angled boards.

[@aramleon132]

Hello, Great Video!! Thank you for sharing. How large would you build the back support for a 78" tall wall?

[@evadarrell9963]

Hi, what is the name of the mechanism that helps with the folding of the backdrop and where it can be purchased from? Thank you in advance! 😊

[@tiffanyhendrix4131]

Did you make the mechanisms or did u buy those wood pieces

[@Tinsel-q6v]

Hi! Amazing video thank you so much! Can you include a link to the router please? I believe it's the only tool not listed and I'm not sure which one to buy. It's cordless with a battery attached, right?

[@deancortez5720]

What is the name of that machine?

[@daisyguzman6097]

Awesome video! What is the wood that slides down called?

[@wordotw]

Appreciate this video! Curious how much you sell everything for, do you have a website with prices?

[@woodshopbox]

Thanks for watching! I have a product log with pricing details. If you send me an email, I can share the link with you. Feel free to reach out anytime!

[@ccttube2008]

Thanks so much for sharing your method, very inspiring! Do you have any recommendations for coating if I build one for outdoor like Halloween or Christmas display on the front yard?

[@Cardoso1718]

[@InfiniteCustomWoodshop]

are build plans available?

[@woodshopbox]

Yes, I have plans for some projects available. Feel free to reach out via email or Instagram DM for details on what’s currently offered and upcoming plans!

[@Patron77770]

Are nails alone strong enough for the wind ?

[@woodshopbox]

I also use glue, so it's very strong

[@KonnectMDusers]

Thank you for such a detailed video! I have not built a collapsible arch so this would be interesting to try out! Can I ask how thick of plywood you go for something like this? And also, what is the core made of? I’ve used a 3/4in birch lumber core but don’t know if that’s good - I liked that it was lighter weight than a birch with “natural” core. Lol thanks again!!

[@woodshopbox]

For windy conditions, I’d recommend using weights or sandbags for extra stability. Nails alone might not be enough to hold it securely in strong winds. Let me know if you need any more tips! Best regards, Andriy (Woodshopboxstudio)

What’s the purple/pink item on the floor below the wood?

[@CreatePeriodFestival]

Insulation board

[@ac5594]

Did you have to sand the plywood at all?

[@TheVWGarage]

You’ll need to sand the edges of the wood wherever it’s been cut.

[@Caity_kayy]

Question sorry if this is dumb what kind of wood is this?

[@woodshopbox]

This is Birch Plywood

[@hakf1966]

Hi why you cut it half

[@Love-bc6zw]

As an event decorator point of view its much easier To transport it wether you have a car or a truck

[@GLADYSSANBORN]

How thick is the plywood?

[@woodshopbox]

The plywood I typically use is 1/2" thick. If you have any other questions or need more details, feel free to ask! Best regards, Andriy (Woodshopboxstudio)

[@jonathangarner7184]

I take it the one comment you won’t answer is what type of wood this is / thickness lol

[@lebarty.95]

4:40 1/2 inch thick plywood

[@woodshopbox]

I use 1/2" hardwood birch plywood. I have no secrets-happy to share the details!

Stop using inches, fingernails and pube's hairs. All the countries in the world apart from the hillBilly from the USA use the meter, and you too. Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, all use the meter. The UK officially adopted the meter in 1969-1971. In the USA (not the US, but the USA), NASA and many "American" companies who produce mechanical parts use the meter, hence you can very well speak English using the meter, the SI, rather than your body parts

[@woodshopbox]

Lol, that's how it is, but you have a point, I'll include metric measurements in my future videos 👍

[@paolopetrozzi2213]

@@woodshopbox Again. The feet-inche-yard-mile etc system ("The former Imperial System) is actually used ONLY between the hillBillies in the USA. The entire world, around 200 countries, use the meter. If you want to do charity, you could "include" the stone-age system. But not as your first measurement system

Where do you get your plywood? That doesn't look like Home Depot plywood. You have a plywood supplier? Thanks!

[@woodshopbox]

Sometimes from Home Depot, but most of the time from my local hardwood dealer

[@AndroidM-op7zf]

@@woodshopbox Thanks! Great videos. I would love to see something about the business side of things.

Home Depot look for Sande Plywood ( 1/2 in. Category x 4 ft. x 8 ft.; Actual: 0.472 in. x 48 in. x 96 in.)
