Ideas for custom DIY projects with Pics etc - Blu-ray Forum

Yeah I am hoping someone who is recently going to be doing a DIY, that turning it into sort of a "how to" guide. Pictures of the steps taken as well as tips, and things to consider when doing something yourself...a walk through guide as you will.

Any takers just PM me with your project....

just to bump this thread, and per our pm discussion, we've had a number of good members as well who have created some amazing stuff from scratch, and hopefully, can use these pictures in the profile, towards building a thread dedicated towards it. The only problem might be, where to 'dump' these threads into, and if others are willing to 'repost' their thread.

a good example is the gramma thread, where bd has numerous postings, as well as other members too.

My only suggestion would be to not just stick to building a step by step just for this thread. I would suggest allowing the posting of links as well. Many of us have already created galleries and sections within threads where we have gone through step by step guidelines with pictures. Off the top of my head: speaker making, veneering speakers, DYI speaker cable sleeving, hanging a wall mount, DYI Anamorphic lens, Flatscreen Poster, etc... On new projects, I agree that having a specific thread for step by step is a good idea.

Ditto! I'm about to start a whole slew of DIY projects and I may need a little help here and there along the way.

So great idea about the stickied thread. I'll be sure to keep an eye on this and start posting when I start my projects. Thanks crackinhedz!

You can grab anything you want off my gallery. I've been busy as hell with work as of late, but I'm already planing some more DIY projects for when things let up.

Excellent idea, crackinhedz! Also, you should allow links to instructional videos on sites like YouTube. There are some incredibly detailed videos out there.

Seems like there is some interest in this, myself included. When can we expect a sticky for this?
