Hey great Video and I'd live it if you could "Send build plans" 😃 I Loooove your ceiling and home theater its so cool!! Thank you Ps: I have commented just now on your Video 1 time so this is my secomd time commenting 🙈 just saying not to make confusion 😃😊
Also what thickness of MDF did you use? I want to use MDF asnit ist light but durable enough to use.. I am thinking about buying 3mm thickness and use the method you showed here with the 2x4s and glue and screw them in place..
I did mine by simply installing led lights above the drywall and then drilling different size holes. Looks fantastic and saved a ton of money and I don’t have a light emitter that will eventually break and tons of cables.
I mean... that works but like.. if you have any bugs in your house that'll be their room now not yours. The more places they have to the hide the more it becomes theirs snd less yours
I do this for a living for a company and they are a pretty fun project especially when you start adding galaxies, planets and stuff like that or a shooting star across the panels. Also we use fibreglass sheets with black fabric wrapped on top. But that’s specifically for sound absorption.
Dude! Thanks about 3-4 months ago I started building an outdoor movie theater in my back yard on a budget based upon your videos. Because of HOA I could only build 12x12 from the ground up (not perfect) also, your updated video I built my first panel for the star ceiling for my home theater shed. Furthermore, I hate sheet rock it sucks my home theater shed is still a work in progress, maybe I will post pictures later once again thanks for the inspiration keep up the good work.
I want DIY Fiber Optic Star Ceiling. I started planning on building one for my home theater about a month or so ago. I love your idea of using magnets to hold the panels up!! Thanks for sharing!
THAT IS " THE " MOST FANTASTIC IDEA I HAVE EVER SEEN !!!!! IMAGINE WATCHING A FULL ON STARWARS BATTLE OR SPACE FLIGHT WOULD BE IMMENSE.. AT FIRST YOU HAD THE OPTICS IN LONG THREAD. IS THERE A WAY OF MECHANICALLY DROPPING THEM FOR UNDERWATER SCENES, LIKE " AVATAR " OR " " PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN " VERY VERY NICE THOUGH !!!!
I want DIY Fiber Optic Star Ceiling Awesome effort. Your project directed me in a much better direction on both the panel design and star construction. Well done.
That room is so dope! I wish a had a lot of money so i can DIY all that thing on my room Is so hard to be poor Hope you make more like this video is so satisfying to watch More power and God Bless mate
I wish I could do something like that😂. With all the stuff and all the tools not to mention the environment needed to work on such a thing. And the time it takes for me alone, it's impossible... It would take me six months to a year... Would rather pay someone to do it... Someone who knows what they're doing and possibly has two or three workers to help. But this looks awesome
This is a really cool idea. The only problem I see with it is it wouldn't be fun to have to walk outside of the house to watch tv or a movie, especially if you just had to go to the bathroom while watching. I also live someplace where it can get really cold in the winter, making that walk even less fun.
Sooo pleasing to look at, deff worth all work done‼️ Ambiance I love this word. Lightning is capable of doing wonders to an environment and a person’s mood❣️
As an AC guy (I'm sure others have commented as well) 1: You are going to kill your blower motor and compressor eventually due to the airflow restriction you added by blocking the return. And, 2: you will always have a dusty panel because that is now the filter.. The plus here is that your AC filter will always be clean! (you will just have to replace the panel every 90 days) The room looks AWESOME, though! It's just that panel placement could cost you $10,000.. How much did that panel cost? I bet a little less than 10k...
yes, I agree. I've since remade the panel to be open where the returns are. Not as pretty but at least I won't be replacing the compressor every year. lol
So Jealous. I would be in this everyday. Before I watched it, I was like. Yah!! I am gonna do that. After watching it, I decided I think I'll just lay back down on my couch here and turn the lights off and put a strobe light on my ceiling and call it a day. So much work. Exhausted me watching it. Good Job.
for a star field cut them, obviously. Leaving them long could work if you were doing an ocean theme room then you could leave them long as Jelly Fish tentacles
I have a couple of times but 99% of the time it just stays on the white is that is the most natural looking. I thought I would use the multicolor a lot more but it just never feels right. Thanks for watching!
I’m not sure if someone has asked but can you please include the exact items you bought from starscape? And the bit drill sizes you utilized. That would be helpful, and possibly pricing on the order from the UK
My idea was to put a Stella scope on the floor then drill through each projected star on my ceiling That way u recreate an actual segment of the night sky but I have no idea on how to create what looks like smoke or mist like u see in the milky way
this is such a great video i love how it turned out and loved watching the build process. Also congratulations on over 50k subs and over 5 mil views on the shed vid. it’s so cool to see your channel grow. ManShed up next!!
Out of curiosity, that last panel with just the fabric and no mdf. Could you have done that for the whole ceiling? Seems like it would be lighter, and no need to drill holes.
This is so awesome, and the fact you're watching Ford v. Ferrari deserves so much more than just a like 👍 great work my man, it's amazing how accomplishing something so small can mean something so big 😍😍 congrats broski
I absolutely love the way you broke it down and explained the process of doing this. It makes it very straightforward to follow, and I look forward to doing something similar myself. My one question/concern though, could the fiber optics directly covering that vent get damaged when the heat is on? Likewise, could that fabric being that close to it be a fire hazard?
I want to do something simular in a tiny house. My star boeard would have a Quasar and a Super Nova on both ends sparkily and pulsing. That's going to be hard to do though.
Fabulous, thanks for sharing. I'd genuinely love to know how long that took you. This looks so much nicer than the pre-done panels, I'd just like to know what I am getting myself in for! 🙂
Personal judgment. I give 2 stars. Because all that fiber optic lighting on the ceiling is not suitable while watching movies. Especially the blue lights at the end like lines. Personally, I work in the field of electronics. My ideas about the destination and application of an effect with fiber optic lights are completely different. Please don't take this as a criticism, but people who have no concept of fiber optic effects will enjoy this video here. :)
The blue lights I have programed to turn off when starting a movie. The white fiber optic star lights have no noticeable effect on the movie quality so they stay on during the show.
may I ask sir., how thick were the panels you used, and also the wooden brackets? i think your version is the best out of all of them on yt!! props to you sir!!
Question: isn't the light generator supposed to be in a well-ventilated area? This is what's stopping me for working on a similar project but I see you put it inside a compartment in the ceiling. Thanks!
Hi, love your video, totally inspired by you. We expecting for first baby in January and I’d like to do something similar (not dark but to have the “starts” sine in the night. Can you please share your work plan? You mentioned that you’ll add but I couldn’t find. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
I want DIY fiber optic star ceiling I've done almost exactly what you've done with my home theater project, but the only problem I have with it is that my ceiling isn't wood, it's concrete, and I haven't used fabric for the panels, I've just painted them. drilled through and out with the fiber optic star lights they are also not bright white and won't blink so I took the pdf board down again to try and do it like you have done in your video. Thank you so much for making this video. Sincerely
I've seen this done with magnets before.. but i wonder how hard it is to just replace those magnets with braces so you slide it in instead of risking them coming loose from a failing magnet..
Thanks for sharing again. Great stuff. Curious on how you added safety tethers to each panel. Was it just a tether on each corner that you somehow fastened to panel and ceiling? I too am afraid if I do something similar with the star ceiling that the magnets could fail and get dislodged for any reason. Thanks!
Can the fibre optics swirl? A big appeal of old ones using colour wheels was that effect. Seeing your projector made me think how epic it would be to use a projector as a fibre optic light source.
That is amazing. Very nicely done I was about I build this in my mancave I was going hang it with hooks but I like your magnet idea. Question though. The boards you put into the ceiling did you screw them into studs or just use anchors?
Hi! I have a question..my house is under construction and i want to add the star lights effect outdoor (there is a cover)...can i do it with the gypsum board instead of panels??
Weird question but what kind of fabric is this? Cotton, Satin, etc? I plan on buying the led hydra setup from the vendor but wanted to order the cloth locally. Any idea on what the cloth is made of?
Thanks so much for sharing this process. I am wanting to do this for my sons’ playroom. If I used ceiling tiles instead of MDF boards, do you have any ideas on how to make that work? (To do an entire ceiling) would that even work?
It could work but you would need to have one fiber main run to each set of tiles so that might get tricky. I would depend on how dense you wanted the star pattern. Mine are about 30 per SF
sick setup! You're inspiring! Now I have something else to add to my bucket list. I think it would be cool to have a workspace/shed/more of a mini-warehouse really... where you can literally build anything... From C&C machines, to 3D printers, to Wood or metal working, welding. Heck even a forge. That'd be my dream space. What would I use it for? To build anything imaginable, from cosplay/Halloween costumes, to tables, desks, cabinets, artistic designs and patterns, tools, weapons, props, computer/mechanical engineering type stuff for innovating/advancing current tech... I'd even have a section for milling my own lumber, treating it... storing it... Oooo and can't forget a section for glass blowing. I'd call it the, "Humanity's Last Hope" Shed. Pretty sure it'd cost somewhere in the ballpark of 1-3 million UDS lol.
Hi, i'm looking to make a star ceiling myself, I tried doing it once with static fairy lights attached to the optical fiber that went through a board. This time around I'm hoping to go for a light engine. in your experience, does the light engine tend to get hot? does it require any kind of ventillations to make the whole setup less hazardous?
I turned a boring shed into an Epic Home Theater: ua-cam.com/video/dq8scgJCg7w/v-deo.html
Hey great Video and I'd live it if you could "Send build plans" 😃 I Loooove your ceiling and home theater its so cool!! Thank you

Seeing how much time I spend on the toilet I’m thinking of doing this in our bathroom 🤔
Beautiful idea but sounds draining. 😂
Please start incorporating high fiber into your diet. It has changed my life
Me too! (As I watch while on toilet)
Lmao!!
Im on the toilet reading your comment.👀🤦🏿♀️
I did mine by simply installing led lights above the drywall and then drilling different size holes. Looks fantastic and saved a ton of money and I don’t have a light emitter that will eventually break and tons of cables.
That is a creative way of doing it. How do you get the stars to twinkle or be uniform in brightness?
I mean... that works but like.. if you have any bugs in your house that'll be their room now not yours. The more places they have to the hide the more it becomes theirs snd less yours
If you have a pitched roof put a projector above the ceiling ? A few stuck pixels wouldn't matter. Don't blame me if it overheats.
I do this for a living for a company and they are a pretty fun project especially when you start adding galaxies, planets and stuff like that or a shooting star across the panels. Also we use fibreglass sheets with black fabric wrapped on top. But that’s specifically for sound absorption.
That sounds awesome! I’d love to get into this line of work, would you be so kind as to tell me the name of the company you work for?
@@DarkMatterExists yeah pro acoustic designs. We are only in Toronto tho.

You're welcome! Excited for you have one of your own.
It looks great. The only thing I'd change is to diffuse the LED strips to finish it off.

this is one of the cleanes home theaters i ever saw
It's magnificent but the blue lights. Especially, how you hide the AC is marvelous.
You’re a genius. I’ve built some awesome things in my lifetime and I’m still very young. I’m hoping to tackle this soon.
Very cool! I'm sure threading all those fibers was...the most boring thing to do, but man, the end result was so worth it!
thats alot of work, I bet it looks way better in person than it looks on youtube. nice quality work.
The dangling style I definitely like
Amazing job and great video. Enjoyed watching! The fiber optics is next level stuff, attention to the details. Love this!
Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.

Hope you make more like this video is so satisfying to watch
More power and God Bless mate
This reminds me a lot of that one scene from the first Cars movie with McQueen staring up its roof from inside of his truck.
Attching the panels via magnet was brilliant, bravo. love that idea.
Thank you!
Me year later drewling at this star light ceilings .. you did very good job!

wow and i thought attaching the net to the trampoline was a long and tedious process, this dedicated is next level😂😅
LOL, yea it was a commitment for sure.
Seriously, very cool. Not just the Star ceiling, the whole theatre in a shed is epic!
Thank you! We sure do enjoy it.
Oh my God. I've been looking for something like this for 2 months now.

put some masking tape of the edges and paint them the same colour of black. Hides it extremely well and doesn't stop maneuverability
Very cool, Michael! I love how it turned out. Do you ever use the multicolor options for the stars?
I have a couple of times but 99% of the time it just stays on the white is that is the most natural looking. I thought I would use the multicolor a lot more but it just never feels right. Thanks for watching!
i LOVE the dangling fiber
the moment i saw the dangling fibers i instantly pictured the Life Tree or w/e from Avatar! next build idea?
This is amazing thank you, Send Build Plans !
One heck of a brother-in-law
Yeah you should do another one with the fiber hanging
that would be cool. I'm going to put it in my next shed conversion.
I’m not sure if someone has asked but can you please include the exact items you bought from starscape? And the bit drill sizes you utilized. That would be helpful, and possibly pricing on the order from the UK
Agreed I would like to know as well. Thanks
Man! You were awesome in Scooby-Doo!!!
You are a fantastic story teller. Great work 👍🏼
My idea was to put a Stella scope on the floor then drill through each projected star on my ceiling That way u recreate an actual segment of the night sky but I have no idea on how to create what looks like smoke or mist like u see in the milky way
Great job man. It turned out very nice. Btw great trick with projecting the image on the panels and marking them out.
Yeah, totally worth it. Now I want to do this in our theater. But I want to cover the entire ceiling. Probably need 2,000 holes. Eek.
I wish i can come their and watch half a movie even this video
yea, it's so worth the effort. I everyone could have this in their backyard.
So much work but honestly these starry ceilings is one of the nicest mods anyone can do to their home theaters. Beautiful stuff!
at this time, you’re actually bringing/building in the actual theater lol
yes...
@@MANSHED hey hey no ellipsis! have motivation!!!! you did a good job!

Thank you John! Always appreciate your feedback and support.
Out of curiosity, that last panel with just the fabric and no mdf. Could you have done that for the whole ceiling? Seems like it would be lighter, and no need to drill holes.
Literally could’ve cut a bunch of holes and put a lightbulb up in their but this super complex build works….
This is so awesome, and the fact you're watching Ford v. Ferrari deserves so much more than just a like 👍 great work my man, it's amazing how accomplishing something so small can mean something so big 😍😍 congrats broski
Thank you!
Great idea on adding another star panel looks amazing keep up the good work 😃
I absolutely love the way you broke it down and explained the process of doing this. It makes it very straightforward to follow, and I look forward to doing something similar myself. My one question/concern though, could the fiber optics directly covering that vent get damaged when the heat is on? Likewise, could that fabric being that close to it be a fire hazard?
I have since removed the fibers and fabric from directly under the Ceiling unit to keep good airflow and not be any kind of hazard.
Nicely done, gentlemen! Looks amazing! Next shed should feature some home arcade cabinets, and ceiling AND walls done with star panels. :)
You look like someone put Ryan Reynolds in a washing machine.
would be cool if that "sky" would have falling stars and maybe spook your friends with meteor coming our way or something like that :D
Nice idea!
Turn a shed into your own VR ARCADE! Have multiple headsets and most importantly, FBT (full body tracking)
It's coming :)
This is my dream. But I don't have projector to mark the starfield.
مرة حلوة شكرا على الفكرة

I was about I build this in my mancave I was going hang it with hooks but I like your magnet idea. Question though. The boards you put into the ceiling did you screw them into studs or just use anchors?
Into studs for sure.
I would have just drilled the holes before putting the fabric on
I wish I had those in my house.
Hi! I have a question..my house is under construction and i want to add the star lights effect outdoor (there is a cover)...can i do it with the gypsum board instead of panels??
Weird question but what kind of fabric is this? Cotton, Satin, etc? I plan on buying the led hydra setup from the vendor but wanted to order the cloth locally. Any idea on what the cloth is made of?
No idea but I got it from Starscape and it's specifically designed for drilling through so you don't get threadouts.
Excellent work. I will try to make a similar one. It is an inspiration for me.
Thanks so much for sharing this process. I am wanting to do this for my sons’ playroom. If I used ceiling tiles instead of MDF boards, do you have any ideas on how to make that work? (To do an entire ceiling) would that even work?
It could work but you would need to have one fiber main run to each set of tiles so that might get tricky. I would depend on how dense you wanted the star pattern. Mine are about 30 per SF
This looks incredible
Thank you!
sick setup! You're inspiring! Now I have something else to add to my bucket list.
I think it would be cool to have a workspace/shed/more of a mini-warehouse really... where you can literally build anything... From C&C machines, to 3D printers, to Wood or metal working, welding. Heck even a forge. That'd be my dream space. What would I use it for? To build anything imaginable, from cosplay/Halloween costumes, to tables, desks, cabinets, artistic designs and patterns, tools, weapons, props, computer/mechanical engineering type stuff for innovating/advancing current tech... I'd even have a section for milling my own lumber, treating it... storing it... Oooo and can't forget a section for glass blowing.
I'd call it the, "Humanity's Last Hope" Shed.
Pretty sure it'd cost somewhere in the ballpark of 1-3 million UDS lol.
I'd love to see these build plans!
Great work 👍
Wondering will the heat coming out the unit mess up the fabric?
I have tiny bits of the optic cable sticking our of the headliner which are sharp. Can I smooth them down in anyway?
Hi, i'm looking to make a star ceiling myself, I tried doing it once with static fairy lights attached to the optical fiber that went through a board. This time around I'm hoping to go for a light engine. in your experience, does the light engine tend to get hot? does it require any kind of ventillations to make the whole setup less hazardous?
Hi can you put the black cloth link where we can buy it would be great help. Thanks
do you think it was necessary to use the glue/silicone?
Dude that is super cool
Well done
thank you!
Absolutely love it.
