    Jesus Christ died for all of our sins. He died the death we all deserved. He was the perfect one who never sinned once, but he loved us so much he decided to die for us so our sins would be paid for and we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven before God the Father blamelessly. He is the living son of God who wants to know us and have a personal relationship with us. No matter what you have done no matter how far gone you think you are Jesus can and will save you. All you have to do is confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. Believe that he died on the cross for your sins and had a bodily resurrection 3 days later. We cannot be saved by our works but by faith in Christ alone. Repent and turn to Christ. You will have joy, happiness, love, and peace beyond understanding.

    Same here. My reasons: 1. To be more present for my kids; 2. woodworking tools and booze don’t mix; 3. Managing PTSD from my service; 4. My wife has lung cancer (Iraq), and I have to be there for her.

    Nice video. Very straight forward and doable by almost anyone. I wish I’d seen you stretching from the middle. I went from corners, not ideal. For rockwool especially, I’d suggest using some 0.7 mil plastic sheeting to wrap the rockwool, just for extra lung protection. I got some 10 oz cotton duck on clearance, which worked well.

    It's great that you're trying to design your DIY rooms, but I keep seeing things like this and I know many of you are guessing and copying what you've seen. Yes, we've all done that. But as Alice in Wonderland asked the Cheshire Cat, “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to”, said the Cat. “I don’t much care where-” said Alice. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat. If you don’t know where you are going, it is highly probable that you will never get there.

    This video was shot last spring only a few weeks after we rescued her. She was abandoned in Texas, tied to a tree. We got her from a rescue in Wisconsin that brings dogs up from down south. She took a while to put on weight, (she had worms and was underweight) but we slowly got her back to health. Then we rescued another dog and went through the process all over again.

    That was a brave talk. You really dug in deep to analyze your decisions and path the last few years. I dont know you but I could relate to your story of your challenges and accomplishments. I am also a creative producer and have a Etsy store. I spent 35 years working for others in tv production, and two years ago, I went out on my own. Often feels like i started my life over at that point. Entrepreneurship is a Lot of work and i relate to your thoughts on creating for work - takes away from the satisfaction. But what i see in you is determination and a drive to continue to create. I think you just need to give yourself permission to create for You sometimes. To rediscover that creativity that is at your core. That might refresh your soul and you might eventually rediscover that amazing artist deep down inside. Your thoughts?

    Keep at it! People like a lot of things, including talks like this! Coming from an area local, something not often found on KZread are interviews /videos documenting first-hand experiences from elders within our community of what it was like growing up, working and living in the Upper Peninsula in decades past.

    These videos became somewhat of a trend nowadays. The sheer lack of data is indeed troubling. Great execution, yet no information whatsoever. Acoustic treatment (contrary to popular belief), is a process of decision making which derives from a greater understanding of the environment it is designed for. What is necessary for that particular space? What would be our target frequencies? Is it a critical listening environment? I suspect that without a comprehensive analysis of the room and acknowledging its purpose, such endeavor would be futile. If this video is strictly for entertainment purposes or "DIY project tutorial" I think that a disclaimer would be fair. Also a few pointers for some of the comments.. It is true that an air gap behind the panel could yield "better" results, by slightly lowering the "cutoff" of the absorption frequency - how much of an air gap.. well that is a completely different animal. In short - it depends on the depth, the material, angle of incidence and a few other parameters. Another issue to point out regarding air gaps - for some reason the consensus states that when "air-gaping" a panel is mustn't touch the wall it is mounted on. Well, that is not necessarily the case.. by fully detaching the panel we are forming an "escape path" for some of the frequencies, depending on the depth and amount of insulation. another burning matter would be diffraction or the "edge effect" - primarily known from speakers with sharp edges, this phenomena also occurs from hung panels. best way to tackle these issues would be to create these panels with internal braces which are meant to hold the insulation and essentially create an air pocket at the "back side" of the absorber, and also build the sides top and bottom of it semi open allowing sound to hit at different angles and degrees, this (in essence) can turn a small 10cm (4") panel into a 60cm (2') absorber simply by allowing the sound to penetrate to the "width" of the insulation. Last thing, some (me included) might find mineral wools to be irritating and a possible future health hazard, by applying a thin layer of "Dacron" (polyester wool) infront of the fiberglass/rockwool (between the fabric and the mineral wools) you could minimize the particles spreading into the room whilst barely (or insignificantly) affecting the absorption impedance and effectiveness (it might even benefit you!). Alternatively, Hemp or other eco-friendly insulation materials could be a more suitable choice, just make sure that the material's properties are aligning with your needs (I'd suggest further reading about - Gas flow resistivity (GFR), tortuosity (Pathways in porous medium) and porosity (Pore diameter and fiber/cell structure).

    @@kjc4414 Hi kjc. I've never hung sound panels before. I've only heard that the gap has to equal the thickness of the panel. Having said that, I would assume you'd have to build some sort of stand-off devices that project 90 degrees from the wall that could attach to the rear of the panel, which would need a compatible receptacle for receiving the standoff. Perhaps Googling might help. I'll do some looking as well and post back. *EDIT* Thinking back, I've seen where people used legs at the bottom of the bigger panels and hence, let them sit on the floor. Not the most pretty solution but it would make vacuuming easier 👍.

    Nice video, Michele but I skimmed through it. There are hundreds of people building these panels on YT but I have yet to hear what frequencies they are targeting. Anyone with basic skills and tools can make these panels but unless you know the effect, it's a waste of time and money. Again, your video is excellent and well produced but meaningless until we know the target frequencies. If by skimming, I missed it please accept my apologies.
