cocktail monitor mounting??
spacies:
There is no way I would ever mount a 100lb monitor to a hinged lid.
Seems crazy :dizzy: 'cos every time you would open the lid the monitor opens with it.
Would have to be a mighty strong hinge.
Screw a 1 x 1 " piece of timber around the inside of the cabinet and sit the monitor frame on top.
That would be plenty strong enough.
Im just offering advice, but I wouldn't mount it to the lid.

I have given this a lot of thought also because I have a 27", 100lb monitor as well and I am mounting my monitor to several :cheers:2x2's screwed and glued to the walls of my cocktail cab. My top is going to sit tight on some dowels to hold it in place. I will have half of one side hinged just like whamoed's but it will be just to gain access to the monitor parts.

so your side is not going to be connected to the top? that could be an idea, hmmmm
rackoon:
If ya do it my way you could always mount the monitor and top to the trap door later. :applaud:
Speaking of monitors and mounting, are you going to mount tinted glass between the top glass and the monitor? :dunno

No, just normal tempered glass, no tint
