Make a Projection Screen for less than $100
My friend the other day held up his hand, wiggled his fingers, and said “purely decorative”. That is to say, he is not a handy-man. I could have said the same thing. I felt proud of myself when I put up some light fixtures in my house. The idea of finishing my basement is daunting, though maybe, just maybe, I’ll be able to do it.
One of the things I might consider doing is to create my own screen. Projector Central has a tutorial about how to create a screen for less than $100. That’s in contrast to the many hundreds that you could end up spending on a purchased screen.

All in all $40 and still going strong.
