    For this episode, I thought maybe we could take this basic television and whether it hangs on the wall or free stands, make it more a little bit visually what we want in our homes. You can do this with crown molding, flat boards, it can be rustic, it can be fancy. Really it’s left up to your own imagination. I’m looking for a measurement on the inside bezel to the inside bezel. Then you’re going to be measuring from your bottom to your top. Those measurements will be critical for when you get ready to make the actual picture frame. We’ll be trimming each one of our pieces to an exact 45 degree angle. You want to make sure those cuts are right because the angles are what will square everything up when the project is complete. What you want to do is to pick up a picture frame clamp. It’s a 90 degree clamp as you line everything up. Double check it two or three times and I use an inexpensive brush, a little dab of glue on the inside, clamp it together and you’re almost done. Now, you want to drive a small finish nail into the upper corner. One direction and then also the other. And when you’re done, you might need just a little bit of wood filler. We can make any gaps disappear. Once we’ve got the frame built to actually attach to the television set, have a buddy or friend help you and go to the top of the TV and draw a line. That line will tell me exactly where to put my backer board, which by the way is a simple one inch piece of wood. Just put a seam of glue, and then I use a series of clamps that will hold everything in place. So, I’ll put Velcro on one side, the side on the top of the TV and one at each corner is more than enough to hold it in place. Most modern televisions somewhere have an infrared sensor. This one happens to be right about here. You will want to drill a hole with a power drill to allow that infrared signal for your remote control to work through the wooden frame. Hope you enjoy the project, hope you check out the entire blog. I’ll give you step by step instructions for this project and we’ve got a lot more coming your way.

    Because this is the 1980's again? Why put wood back on tv's?

    No thanks I shall pass on that, I could never see myself watching TV on that, it would be ok for images but a waste of electric having it on just for that.
