Or if someone accidentally bump on it. I do the same but with metal flat hooks. I believe these come from a sofa with meridian (the pieces of metal that tighten up them together), not sure though. At the end the back of the tv is at less than half a inch of the wall. Now, I have to make a nice frame and add curtains around.
I went ahead and drilled a hole that goes from the top board through the bottom one. Then used a metal rod to help prevent it from sliding side to side.
Preferably ull want to use lag bolts instead of 2 little screws. Pre-drill into the studs, wrench some lag bolt in, literally do 1 pull-up on the wall mount to know for sure itll hold, AND THEN mount the tv onto the wall mount.
If u cut the wall mount beveled on both sides . Mount another board to the bottom nuts on the tv so it would slide threw the wall mount . I’d just be worried about a child knocking it on them or there siblings. Or predrill a big enough hole threw the center to mount both boards together. 😊
I want to mount this in my garage above my exterior door but sometimes the wind slams the door shut , is it going to make it pop off the cleat if that happens ?
If you pre drill 2 holes before cutting the 45 and use 4" long 1/2 dowls glued into the top piece that will make it more secure. I know im 6 months late but thats what I plan on doing
someone gave me free tv today, cant find my mounts thinkging ot using rop to tie it up. that's how sad we are that TV's are disposable and no Figs given... crazy.
As long as you find some decent wood material, span it across 2 studs. I'm positive that it'll hold up a 65 inch. Same process just make your pieces of wood lengthier to span accordingly.

I used thin, plastic coated wire from home depot and mounted it like a picture frame. I can adjust it left and right like a picture.
Another board across the bottom tv mounting holes will greatly reduce stress on the bracket and stop the tv from tilting forward.
Genius idea
MIND BLOWN!!!!!!
Amazing it's call a French cleat btw
Not all heroes wear capes
This kind of mounting is very practical and easy to do. Not very secure though in places where there are earthquakes. It will fall immediatelly.

I'm trying this today cause I do have a lot of extra lumber laying around. Thanks for the great idea
Did it go well? I’m thinking about doing it but I’m scared it may fall off the wall
@@godlyrunz3809 Yes it works great. Just use the proper screws and wall anchors if you're not mounting to wall studs.
Genius!
That doesn't put too much pressure in the plastic of the TV where the bolts are? Looks like it may eventually crack.
Actually, those tv are pretty light, i've got a Samsung 50 which is less than 11 kg. Still you question is legit.

Genius thanks.
This is great...just one thing is that there's no tilt functionality
Yeah I know
Does this work with CRTs?
Jesse Nix
That would be a first. Ha
Cut a square in the wall and take the insulation out then pop it in 😅

What kind of screws are you using?

@greeksgarage great job!!!
Anthony Smernes Indeed
Ok so I’m a woman who doesn’t know anything about sawing and drilling so I wish you would have showed those steps casue I feel lost lol.
Sorry, I will try to be more detailed next time. That’s why I love the feedback so I can improve on every video. Thanks for watching.
@@GreeksGarage mhm
How come you don’t post anymore boat restoration videos?
Blake Tipton I will be making videos on the boat very soon, I had to take a little break to deal with some family stuff. Thanks for asking.
Ok cool, hope everything is going ok
How save is this cuz i got a 65 inch tb?
As long as you find some decent wood material, span it across 2 studs. I'm positive that it'll hold up a 65 inch. Same process just make your pieces of wood lengthier to span accordingly.
you need to have rawplugs in the wall for it to last
where did you get the bolts for the TV?
You can get them at you local hardware store. The size of the bolt should be in you TV manual.
But how does it stay connected to the other piece of wood
Just by gravity, the opposing angles cause the top board to be pushed against the wall when the weight of the tv is pressed into it
Do u think I cld do this in my garage with an 50in
Ty Nickleson
You sure can, I did it on a 65 inch.
@@GreeksGarage ok... Thanks
I’m a tad nervous it could slip off the cleat.
As long as the wood on the wall is screwed into the studs, you will be all good. 👍🏼
A French cleat.
Is this workin still
It sure is. I am using it on 3 Tv’s in the house right now, and works great.
@@GreeksGarage thansk
Everyone asking about it cracking at the mounting holes..... AHHHH.... thats where you would mount a store bought tv mount. Freaking duh!
I'm afraid that it would fall
I feel like a steeper angle would be better. Maybe 30 degrees.
I did this and my wall ripped off and my tv is now on the floor
You have to mount it to the studs in your wall!
French cleat
My tv fell of the wall
You have to make sure you screw it into the studs in the wall!!
Broke my mf tv
How did that happen?
