I have a feeling I’m not your typical viewer (71 year-old female), but I love this video. I want to make this to see if it works for projecting sewing patterns. Thanks for posting it.
You are the best instructional narrator I have ever heard...and I watch a LOT of DIY videos. Usually there's always some gray area between watching what the person is doing and the rationale. This verbal detail makes a world of difference. A blind person could understand this project, and that's exactly what I like. Thank you!
My mom says I have too much screen time after I have my online classes. Well, this solves the problem as I am not looking at a screen, but at the wall.
I know it's meant to be a joke but you might have a point After all you would be staring at a wall reflecting light instead of the computer and so it would be the same at staring at a wall with the lights on
The moment he started talking I focused so much than any other video I have listend to about this and I like how he knew all his facts. He so deserves all this views and likes
@@gp85hkg I think she means the content of the words, not the way they are spoken. Being English has nothing to do with this. Anyone can have a soothing voice and not use fowl langauge.

Brilliant! This design leaves room to be highly customizable for just about any decor. Thank you for keeping the directions and explanation of each step simple. It’s greatly appreciated. I’ll be making this today to use as a means to project my sketches from the phone onto canvas.
To save some hassle when scoring card for folding, use a knitting needle or awl instead of a blade. It doesn't break the paper layers, giving a more durable crease, and you don't have to worry about maintaining a constant pressure. If you can find a watchmaker's link pusher, they're great for it. It gives the thin lines of a small gauge knitting needle, and comes with a easily gripped wooden handle.
This Channel and the creator's content is the best example of quality over quantity as i have never been disappointed by a video uploaded! keep up the great work :)
Thanks for sharing your experiments! I crafted one of these few years ago but I didn't think about the mirror option. Also, as a teacher I find this a very interesting project to do with children, so they can learn few things about optics while they have fun creating a very useful tool.
Alex Bulgaru it didn't come out as clear as yours but I believe it's because I forgot to cut the handle off of the magnifying glass. Or, I just need to get a better glass. I'm not sure of the diameter of the glass though. it's clear enough for me but it might annoy somebody else lol.
i never done any of your DIY projects but i enjoyed watching them all because of information you give and the smooth style of the video and after all your great finishing . Keep it up bro
I have looked at quite a few of these tutorials on the internet and this is by far the best detailed and well rehearsed I have come across. It is also so obvious the absence of the ermms, aahhs, eehhhs and other grunting noises most ill prepared naraters make. Well done, it would be a pleasure to watch more of your tutorials. You would be an asset to any news room or voice over jobs. Give yourself a pat on the back. Thank You , Martin Brandt.
If you want an optimized version (v2.0) you can make the front with the detachable lens, that way you just fit the larger / smaller lens depending on what you want to watch. Remove a small rectangle with a lens type and put other rectangle with other lens.
Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for a good tutorial that makes a pretty good diy projector. I love stars and I wanted to project them in my room because they really calm me down and help me fall asleep (I have sleeping problems.) So thank you so much
Lmao! Yall are cracking me up! Super cool EASY project, and sharp witted subscribers.. Btw, mooning ppl is pretty much strictly American, till now and lets hope everyone forgets.. It's never a pretty site..can scar a person..
This was the first video of yours that I have seen. Thank you for such a great fun project. It will give my Daughter and I some fun things to create! Matt you also seem like a likable guy! Thanx again for your time and creativity.
When I built mine, I used a fresnel full-page magnifier as my lens. It was brighter, but the image quality suffered. Trade-offs though. I must tell you, I immensely enjoy the pace and depth you make your videos with. It's not sped-up with shrill techno music, and you explain and show things concisely and to the point. Quality presentation 👌. Keep making your videos like this.
Try moving the phone/tablet closer to the magnifying glass or farther from the magnifying glass. It acts as a focus. You will quickly learn there’s a very small SPECIFIC location ur phone needs to sit for clear images. The distance from phone to magnifying glass plays a huge key roll on how clear your image will be. Same goes for the projector to the wall. Distance for both projector to wall and phone to magnifying glass are key for clear image.. play around with distance for both and you WILL find the perfect spot
But, now you have to download a TV app onto your smartphone. Do you have enough memory on your phone to do that? Not to even speak about the dim image on the wall made by this projector, lol
Christmas present sorted for my younger (21) brother hes gunna love it... Oh I prob will have to make me one 2 so I dnt get jealous him having one an me not got 😂
This is actually one DIY project that I could and probably would try to make 😂 One question though... what’s stopping the bellows from collapsing under the weight of the phone?
@@TheJackInTheBox916 At the begining of the video it was shows as glued, but at the end you could see to focus you adjust it up or down. One end is moveable through the staws so i have the same doubt. 🙂
I’m trying this out just to do something new for 2022 and I might also use this unit for power outages, holidays, and ambiance I just haven’t got anything yet for the project but a nice small cardboard box thanks for the idea
Wouldnt it be possible to use 4 collapsible metal antennae from old radios instead of dowels? That way when you lower he bellows, there arent sticks poking out of the bottom, and the whole thing could be collapsed down to just the size of the box, making it much more portable.
A perfect explanation of a project I was hoping to create for a friend's birthday. We will be staying in a rustic cabin so I love the idea that the projector is vintage style! Thanks!!
I tried it and I do not think you are supposed to use it as far as a regular projector. I found that placing it within 3~4 meters from a wall provides really good quality, almost as good as a cheap projector. Still quite good considering this is just a DIY project. The one I made stands on a table instead of a wall. I connected it with some bluetooth speaker and watching movies in my room has never been better.
Thanks for your insight. Do you think it's possible to get a picture of it? Also, how big would you say the image is when you place it at the best distance from the wall?
now, what if you were to make this out of wood or metal, and attach a super bright display on the top, then plug in a chrome cast to it? Maybe take apart a screen to have just the LCD by it self with no backlight, then put one of those super bright LED's that you featured on your channel to serve as the backlight. That would be cool.
I know this is an old video but how long do the dowels need to be? Is there a specific length that the phone needs to be away from the mirror? Really keen to try this during isolation 😂 My anniversary is coming up and I really want to make an at home DIY cinema as all the theatres are closed 😊 @DIY Perks
Idk why but when I saw Steve Mould, I was like "isn't that the guy from the DIY Perks Channel?", But just right now I checked bc I was curious and confirmed that you two different people lol
i wonder how big the image on the wall is.. Could you add an led light for more brightness? and have the outside black and the inside white foe more light? you could link it to a Bluetooth speaker
I made something similar with a backlit image of the cosmos to shine on my daughter's bedroom wall when she is going to sleep. Now I'm tempted to sacrifice an old smartphone and find a "journey through the universe" video and keep it on repeat. I may even swipe it for my own bedroom then! Wouldn't it be nice to lay back in bed and soar through the heavens?

It depends on the lense you use! I'd just test it out, keep moving the phone until you get the desired focus
ahah me to im doing it for my family. also no you just move the phone up and down till the image focuses
There is no specified length but it doesn’t really matter just get nice long ones and then try to focus it as best you can when it’s finished

How do you find a 300mm lens? When I google it I find 300mm (across) magnifying glasses or 300mm camera lenses. Does 3x mean it is a 300mm?
it is the width not length
i wonder how big the image on the wall is.. Could you add an led light for more brightness? and have the outside black and the inside white foe more light?
you could link it to a Bluetooth speaker
