DIY Acoustic Panel - Imperial only

These acoustic panels are designed to cut down echo and general room noise. They can be made using readily available materials from any home center and only requires basic woodworking tools. Several panels can be made in a few hours.

The digital download includes an 8 page PDF with step-by-step DIY instructions on how to build and install the panels. Plus I have a supplementary video on youtube to help you through the process.

This is a Beginner level project, and requires basic tools.
