How to Install a Ceiling Mount TV in Your Man Cave!

[@Tricyklist]

Your video sets a new high standard for anyone looking for real information on the subject of ceiling mountings. Thank you.

[@JakeThompson]

Awesome.. Thank you! 💪💪

[@TurningsbyTurner]

Your stud finder roped me in. ... I’m here watching. 🤣. Good demo! 👍

[@JakeThompson]

😂😂 I was going to throw a joke in there but decided against it. Lol

[@TurningsbyTurner]

I’m 50, I lost my filter. 😂

[@johannjohann6523]

I concur. You were organized, and well spoken - knew what you wanted to say ahead of time. Yeah cool ceiling mount, I'm not a big fan of wall mounts. However, I am surprised the mount did use a Stud Bar for the center mounting bolt. I personally think upgrading to a Stud Bar would be a good idea, making sure to get one large enough

GREAT TO SEE YOU MY FRIEND LOOKING GOOD

[@JakeThompson]

Thanks Doug!! 👍👍

[@kaydog2008]

I'd replaced the screen pivot nuts with wing nuts to make it easier to adjust by hand. No looking for a wrench every time I want to move the screen. Same for the pivot nuts up by the ceiling if I want to fold the screen up and out of the way propped up on a flat utility hook for ceilings.

[@JakeThompson]

Good ideas.. I will keep them in mind when I go to adjust things..

[@jpwoodwork]

Awesome Jake!! Looking forward to the next Patreon/Liveshow

[@JakeThompson]

Me too buddy!! 👍👍

[@johannjohann6523]

I guess I'm thinking like a toggle bolt but something much more heavy duty. Mounting through the stud not just into it. Or accessing from attic and using heavy duty bolts. But maybe that isn't necessary.

[@JakeThompson]

Thank you for watching the video, I’m glad you enjoyed it.. it’s a safe bet the going all the way through would be better, but the hardware given in the kit was sufficient.. I had no doubts it would hold it.

[@martinbreece]

Looks good Jake

[@JakeThompson]

Thanks Brother!! 👍👍

[@TetraCNC]

Love the setup. Maybe next time your marking out studs and gonna draw a line think about using some painters tape, then once you get your drill points figured out you can start them, take the tape down and no lines to erase.

[@JakeThompson]

Good stuff.. great idea. 👍👍

[@BoomDocs14K]

Great job and thanks for making this content. I ordered a similar mount today and wanted a general idea of the parts and process. It should be an easy install as I am mounting mine in the basement and the floor joist studs are exposed. Thanks again for the time you spent creating this content. #2thumbsUp

[@JakeThompson]

Very welcome.. glad I could help.. great comment! 👍👍

[@kris_kreations]

I think that TV is bigger than me. No more squinting for this guy. Good job. 😉

[@JakeThompson]

If I squint now… I’m really in trouble lol

[@kris_kreations]

@@JakeThompson I agree!!!

[@IdunnoNottelling]

Kris no one is bigger than you

[@brandon8100]

Besides the great instructional video I must ask what kind of paint did you use in that room? I love the way it looks.

[@JakeThompson]

Thank you very much.. I can’t exactly remember.. I bought in 5 gallon buckets from Home Depot.. it was interior paint.. I’m sorry I don’t have the exact paint for you

[@brandon8100]

@@JakeThompson No worries! But thanks for the vid as well! Now I know which tv mount to buy and how to install it.

[@TBizzell68]

Looks great. You totally missed out on a dad joke when you were using the stud finder.

[@JakeThompson]

Lol too predictable.. 😂😂

[@jamin3131]

Recently mounted my tv to the ceiling Unfortunately I assumed it was at least a 90° swivel so now I got an actual swivel so I can rotate it how I want

[@JakeThompson]

👍👍👍 awesome!

[@twoweeledsoto6072]

Did you drill in to around a 1.5" wide ceiling joist? I have a 2x6" ceiling joist (covered patio) and was apprehensive about being wide enough (1.5") to support around 75 lbs. I guess make sure and drill straight?😁 Thanks

[@JakeThompson]

It was an inch and a half.. measure twice hope to drill once lol

[@SteelBladeWoodworks]

Great instructional video Jake!!! I don’t think you’ll have any problems seeing the comments now!!!😜😜😜

[@JakeThompson]

I’m too cool for glasses lol 🤓

[@michaelrubin4747]

Hey Jake. For what your using it for it seems you thought it through. I think there's a decent amount of guys that are thinking, why not put a 70" or 80" inch tv up there. Because then you would never get any work done and all you would be doing is goofing off. The shop has really come along nicely. I am looking forward to seeing your video's in your new resin room. I can't wait to see how you finish that room with all the resins, mica powders and dyes, etc..Anyway, it's really looking good Jake.

[@JakeThompson]

Thanks Mike!! After building the room I didn’t even look at tv’s that big.. but it sounds nice lol

[@jonmobrien]

Yep, I thought why not a 65"?!

[@THEAPRILFOOL-1983]

Nice 📺 screen

[@JakeThompson]

👍👍👍

[@bogiev1]

Wow! Spot on video mate. Was the mount base screwed into an I joist? How is the TV load today? Very helpful KZbin. Subscribed!

[@JakeThompson]

Thank you… it was screwed into a joist.. it did just fine .. no problem. 💪👍

[@jonmobrien]

Even assuming all your connections are wifi, you still need Power?

[@JakeThompson]

I have outlets in the ceiling

[@rimjhim1372]

Hi Jake, this is Sis Helen!

[@JakeThompson]

??

[@jhnmon88]

Do they make a 360 mount that flip up when not in use?

[@JakeThompson]

I’m not sure.. might do a google search or a quick look on Amazon

[@GeorgeBriggs-c6s]

Where do you get the electric to hook up to the tv

[@JakeThompson]

I have a plug in on the ceiling ..

[@jenniferash2997]

Would this work on a slanted ceiling? Or would it make the TV crooked lol

[@JakeThompson]

There are adjustments that are shown in the video for slanted ceilings

[@JiggsysShed]

I would have nowhere to move in my shop if I put up a screen that size 🤣

[@JakeThompson]

😂😂 it’s not small 😂

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

I'm sure the new TV will allow you to read viewer comments well Jake. I just have one question, do you allow beer, peanuts, and pizza in the Resin Room? I think it would make a great location to watch the Super Bowl!!!

[@JakeThompson]

All of that is allowed.. just use coasters lol

[@chronobot2001]

You should have shown running the wires.

[@JakeThompson]

@@chronobot2001 good evening.. there’s an outlet on the ceiling.. you can clearly see it..

[@nomorelepersministry]

Do you do resin as a large amount of your income? I lost my job and started doing resin coasters. Im hoping if these sell well i can buy better tools and materials. How do you get your wood without spending a ton of money in today's market? Is there any place that sells for very cheap and/or free and i could pay for shipping so i can do bigger projects?

[@JakeThompson]

Selling resin products is 0% of my in come.. I give pen blanks away every week on Instagram to promote them, so when I get ready to sell them, I already have customers. I trade for wood when I can, I promote people I like, and end up trading with them.. I have bought lots of wood on auctions.. I tend to get the damaged or warped pieces because they are cheaper.. I will be selling things soon, but as far as my income goes. For the last 3 years or so, I’ve worked a job and put in 72-120 hours a month in overtime. Neither my woodworking or my art projects have paid for anything in my shop.. I have a nice shop and that makes people assume that I have a lot of money coming in, it’s just not the case at this time.. I use the discount codes I talk about for the products i use. I usually buy during holidays when the products are on sale. I hope this helps 👍

[@nomorelepersministry]

@@JakeThompson it definitely helps. I didn't assume you had a lot of money coming in. I asked about the resin income because i am still trying to figure out if its even feasible to use it as a viable source of money or if no one is really interested. Just watched your shop update and its looking good. Im working out of a one stall garage and cant wait till i have a shop like yours.

[@ANKITKUMAR-tx6rb]

Can i place it on the wall

[@JakeThompson]

They call those wall mounts.

What about the wires?

[@JakeThompson]

The wires can go through the pole and then through the celiac if you want.

Jamie is still my wingman. But if or when I have to do it by myself, it will be nice..even when I just need to browse on the computer, it’s nice

But you wont be able to join the accessories like speakers, amplifier etc? Hmmmmm
