hello welcome to Enots engineering I'm Alan in today's video I'll be making a
TV brackets from wood to hold the TV to the wall and also I'll be showing you a
Colchester triumph lathe I found on my holidays in the Falklands so let's go
into the workshop
I've got four pieces of timber 2 x 1 that's about 1 1/2 x 1
Two 2x1 and Two 1 1/2 x 1
These are going to make a frame to hold my TV onto the wall I've cut them to length so the next
thing I need to do is drill a hole through because these will hinge on the pivot.
Once the TV's up against the wall. The problem I have at the moment it's that
I can't get at the sockets at the back to plug things in so I'll make these so it hinges
so I can pull the TV out put the plugs in and push it to the back.
And the way I'm going to do that is just drill hole straight through use a bolt to go
through I'll need to round the corner off where it pivots and then I need four
holes in here two which will fit the TV and two which will fit the wall.
so the next job is to put a hole in this end in the centre and the correct distance in
so that the wood on top can pivot on that hole on the pedestal drill I fitted
this block of wood as a stop so that when I'm machining it will touch that I've also fitted
a brad point bit and that is set from the end of the wood is coming in 11mm
because this woods 22 mm thick so it's 11mm in and on centre line so all I
need to do is fill the hole
you see a whole were it's coming through so turn around put that back up
to the stop just finish it off that way you don't get too much breakout on the
outside I'll do that to the other four pieces
I've reset this block and positioned this cutter on the centre ready to drill
the next four holes
just counterbore the hole with a the Forstner bit just so the bolt head
goes below the surface of the wood
so when the bolt goes in it's not protruding
the two wooden cross pieces are bolted to the TV and the matching pair are
bolted to the back for the TV unit with the 8 mil bolts as hinge pins
with the TV fitted now hinge the TV to gain access to the
sockets on the side to stop the TV from moving I fit another pin on the left
hand side that's that job finished but before I go I'll show you some pictures
I took on my holidays in the Falklands
I hope you enjoyed that and we'll see you next time on a nuts engineering
you
