Yep. Just like Knievel did on the Woody. You can see the four screw holes in the board. (Reply #70)

I picked up a "Xtreme Ultra-Slim" wall bracket at Princess Auto for like $13. They were $40-$70 everywhere else. i just needed a slim, basic rail VESA mount.  I figure i could mount it right to the wood, but i'm a bit of a perfectionist, and i want to make sure it mounts square, and is easy to remove if need be.  I felt that mounting to the wood i could possibly have issues with it being level when i go to put the bezel and plexi overtop.   ...I don't know, i over engineer stuff sometimes.

Thank you for all the suggestions and help!

I think I'll just get 4 longer M4 screws to mount the LCD.

I was thinking of what ChanceKJ was going to do so that if I did mount it off center I could still center it easily by just moving it slightly.  But since this is a small bartop I'll just measure a few times then drill and mount to the board.  Worst case is if I mess it up I'll just cut another board and re-drill the holes.

After mounting then I need to make a bezel.  I'm not sure if I'm doing this in the right order but I thought I'd mount the screen then build the bezel around it to get a better fit!

You should see how our warships are built. Not as well designed as you would expect. ;)
