Sure, Queue... and thanx!
Well, I built a vocal booth that's 6 foot by 4 foot by 7 feet high.
Most of the material was purchased at Home Depot.
I framed it out using 2"x4"s and these steel corner-bracket thingies for durability.... like a big rectangle.
I ran one extra 2"x4" on one of the sides (top to bottom) for a door frame.
Then I used 3/8" thick plywood as my walls, leaving an 18 inch high by (just under) 6 foot wide opening for the window on the front of the booth.
Inside the booth, I used heavy-duty adhesive to place my cut-to-fit 1-1/2 inch thick styrofoam sections against the plywood walls, which leveled out with those 2x4 frame sections.
On the side where the door is, I used two long piano-hinges to attach the 3/8" plywood door, which was framed out with more 2x4's, and also glued on the styrofoam to even it out.
I then used two layers of plexiglass (one on the inner part of the 2x4 that framed the window, and one on the outside), which I sealed in with weather stripping and used cut-to-fit wood-moulding to screw the windows in....
tight.
The styrofoam and wood were my first layers that blocked sound, but once I had the inside of the booth totally flat and even, I glued in Auralex 2" Wedge Studio-Foam with spray adhesive.
I attached a handle on the outside of the door and put a pull-strap on the inside to pull it closed when you go in.
Let me tell you, that room is
DEAD!
The total cost was around $750, and it took me about 24 hours total-time to build.
Was it worth it?
Without a doubt!
