Great Job for a first cabinet!!! :applaud: You even de-cased the TV and mounted in there very nicely. 8) Do you have any details or pics of the TV de-casing/mounting process? Welcome to this wonderful hobby. :cheers: |

no pics. the inside of cab is 24'' wide. (23 7/8) the tv is 23'' at the tube. there was some plywood glued to inside to mount the old monitor. i had to chip away 3'' of that in the middle , so i could WEDGE the tv. I just kept digging until the tv sat at the depth i needed. then i glued and screwd support blocks to inside of cab, then screwed down the tv thru the EARS of the TV's metal strap. Its VERY secure , as i had to lean cab on its side to mount heavy duty casters. Its ugly without the bezel, but works just fine. The bezel is just a piece of lexan cut to fit, spray painted black on back side. Its mounted so close to tv , that u cant see any part of how its mounted. |
