Here's part one of me building a facade with the fluorescent light panels.

Thanks Kevin for PT. 01 as I too, like many others, am considering investing in one or two facades, and this is a great how-to start. I'm still researching and collecting info at this point. I'm thinking one style (white/back-lit for weddings) and possibly a funky metal type one (think silver truck beds) for school dances. My neighbour is an artist/gallery owner and has said it might be fun to have a few friends spray paint & "tag" something for me. Drop Part 02 on us when your "safety inspector" says it's safe to do so - nice Bob the Builder extro too!
Does your neighbor also do framing? If so, he can make the initial frame and stretch the fabric for you. There is something called stretcher bars that comes in various standard lengths and widths with interlocking corners. This eliminates the need to saw wood. I am also in the Art Business so that is how I know.

Nice work. I wanted to do the groove as well, but my old table saw bit the dust, so that's why I opted to go with routing a groove.
