Watching old home movies or looking at picture of past family vacations is a great way to remember the past and the good times shared with loved ones. In this increasingly digital age, with computers and DVD players dominating the retail markets, it can be difficult to get equipment needed to use analog media. Video and slide projectors have become antiquated and parts can be difficult to find. Fortunately, making a screen that you can use to view the images from projectors is an easy project to undertake.
