Gilrock:
Starting actually building on Friday. Got the side frames built in a couple of hours. I followed the design idea from Maximus to build a frame first and then close it in later. I also took his idea of using the pocket hole jig. I'd never used one before and I love that thing. I was surprised how strong the joints end up. In the photo below I turned one side so you can see all the pockets and the other side shows how clean it looks even though it will be covered up in the end.

Here's a pic of the Kreg jig I bought. I liked it because I could clamp a board in place and drill both holes at the same time. It made the work go really quick. The boards in this photo are all the middle pieces I'll use to join the two side frames together.

More progress photos:

Used two boards to create a spot for the edge of the TV to rest:

View of the sides put together:

Clamped a board on the front so that I could push against the TV on the back to align the front edge of the TV to the angled side boards:

Pushed a board up against the back of the TV and locked it in place with screws:

The marquee monitor is mounted and I hooked up the PC to test everything out:

A closer view:

How much was that marquee monitor?
