How to Frame Your Flat Screen TV

in this episode i thought maybe we can take that basic television whether it hangs on the wall or freestands into something that is a little bit more like the vision 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 on this what i'm looking for is a measurement from the inside bezel to the inside bezel then you'll get your measurement from your bottom to your top those measurements be critical 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 those 45 degree angles are what will square everything up when the project is completed what i recommend that you 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 in the upper corner in one direction and then also the other that'll give you some stability and rigidity and when you're done you might need just a little bit of wood filler we can make any gaps disappear now once we've got the frame built to actually attach you 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 it'll hold everything into place so a strip of velcro on one side the other 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 enjoyed the project i hope you check out the entire blog i'll give you step-by-step instructions on this project we've got a lot more coming your way
