Hi....I would love to make a chinese(portable)divider screen.I've never done one so I need all then info I can get.I would like the one with material panels...Any help will be appreciated...thanks

HYi lillyk, see noone has responded so I will give it a try. basically u will be making frames such as those on cabinet fronts. suggestmaybe 1x3 sides with top,middle(optional) and bottom 1x4 which would give you the opening for material. the open space for material should be about 21" wide.could use tension rods to hold material. hinge the panel together till u have the width u want. Hope this helps.

lillyk, I just googled shoji screens and found several links. U may look at some of those for ideas. Sorry 4 poor spelling on prev. post.

Hello grandpa B,
