Very nice idea. A more accurate way to measure the holes on the back of the tv is to use one strip of painters tape across the back of the tv across all the holes. Mark the holes or punch a small hole through the tape, then transfer the tape to the piece of wood you are going to use and hey presto, spot on accuracy.

[@chrisnotap]

Thats a great idea!

[@cliffcarlo180]

Very welcome.

[@lynzteee]

i'm going to use this idea for future projects :)

[@95ffd]

The only problem with using that method is that I didn't think of it first!!!!

[@marcnaidu5804]

@@chrisnotap thanks Chris. I like the French cleat idea. I’ve seen some Metal commercially available mounts that are also based on the French cleat. What about using keyhole picture frame brackets. Think that would work too?

[@artrivera5141]

I used a 2x4 , and 2 bolts to hang my 60 inch. Cost was less than 5 bucks . Bolted into studs it is flawless. No need for a overpriced wall mount . I did the french cleat method.

[@BrianThomas]

Yes! 6 year old video with a much much older French cleat technique. Still holds up to this day. I love love it. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mpeezy358]

You are a freaking genius. Here I've been making everything waaay more difficult and complicated for myself and getting very frustrated about it. Then I stumble upon this gem of a video and 10 minutes after watching it my monitor is securely mounted on my wall no prob. Great vid I really appreciate ya. Thx

[@andreww2319]

Really great - followed your instructions and did this yesterday - mounted a 46 inch TV to my basement wall (concrete wall using concrete anchors). Worked like a charm and cost me 90 cents for 2 bolts. Thanks much!

[@karlysorenson]

You sir broke the mold! MANY other videos showing how to mount TV's. But not WITHOUT 15 min of "blah, blah, blah" BEFORE (during) & right up to the nitty gritty. You My Man did it in 5:20!!!! (You earned my subscribe & 👍) Thanks

[@chrisnotap]

Wow, thanks!

[@ML_1515]

Agree, this is great!

finally, someone who explains it and has correct video angles to prove it. you get and A+ Mr!

[@phildoherty8487]

Just did this for a heavy 42 in old Panasonic plasma. Worked perfectly.

[@mermaidrapunzel]

I have seen this method before, but this is a GREAT explanation! Thank you!

[@a1930ford]

I had been wondering if anyone had used such in mounting their flat screens to a wall like this. Thanks for sharing.

[@chrismatthews2259]

Absolute genius!! Brilliant idea

[@usingtheirhypocracyagainst8636]

thanks for the idea it worked for me perfectly. I used a 2x4 behind the 3/4 cleat and used it to screw to the wall due to the plugs coming out of the back of the TV.

[@simondelaney5694]

This is great, I made one 10yrs ago to hang a big heavy mirror that I made. I’m going to do this for both my tvs since I’m poor and can’t even afford to buy tv brackets lol

[@napster1974]

did this with a 32". And it worked well! Thanks again!

[@Pete..]

Thanks 1 million I had forgotten about this woodworking trick that holds things up on walls genius I haven't used it since 10th grade

[@chrisnotap]

The "french cleat"!! It is an amazingly strong method to hang things!

I was thinking about doing it, and I wanted to check if was really a good idea, and as they say, most of the time the simplest ideas are the ones that works. Thank you buddy great video

[@akinsella2848]

Love you work. The best thing about this is you can move the tv to another room with the same setup. Thankyou.

[@AnthonyRose]

Awesome video. I anticipated the use of lag bolts to hold the cleat to the wall. Nice to know decking screws are strong enough.

[@Hawk-qn2zk]

Thanks for having this, I just saved 45 bucks!

[@jonboypointer]

This is a great idea. I didn't read all the comments. If you use good wood, you will not see a problem. For those who think its unsafe, I see a way to make it safe and still be just fine. Put another board on top of the board mounted to the TV. Slide the TV in sideways, and then put a board on each side to keep it from sliding out. Sorry if this has been mentioned. Hope the comment makes since. Thanks for the advice. I would trust this over many of the cheap metal options.

[@RamRaj-if3ds]

Yes,, depending on the size and the weight of the tv....many thanks.

[@KipandJake]

I was thinking the same thing. It’s called a locking cleat.

[@napster1974]

I'll try this myself. Thanks man!

[@RamRaj-if3ds]

[@thuggins2086]

Instead of the spare block behind the bottom of the TV when on the wall, I'd actually recommend making a second French cleat for the bottom 2 VESA screw mounts. Extra holding security and it should provide the same function as the spare block. Loved the video though! I will be doing this to mount my next TV.

[@Erik-Vadee-Veechee]

No. Too many holes in the wall. Nice try tho

[@rtryful]

best option thanks

[@DanGoodchild]

Thanks for the video. I was just wondering the other day if a French Cleat would work for this… One thing I might change when I put mine up is instead of just tucking a standoff behind the screen, I'll screw a couple of blocks to the lower VESA holes.

[@1stchristianchurchss368]

Brilliant and worked great for me, as well as saved me $50. A few other suggestions. For the shim piece, use one of the bottom bracket mounting holes to attach it to, as mine fell out when I just stuck it behind the TV, unattached. For the bottom piece, I made it a lot longer than the top piece so I could hit (3) studs. Plus, it gave me some leeway to move the TV sideways if needed and still have the top piece fully connected to the bottom. And lastly, I'd definitely find scrap hardwood like solid Oak. Probably wouldn't use pine.

[@chrisnotap]

That's great and those are good tips!

[@anonymoussources8803]

Pretty good

[@joewilkens77]

So strong and simple at the same time! I can call my search from unistruts off now haha.

[@jacobcollins4627]

This is amazing. And then I see the lazy comments at the bottom. If your a true carpenter, you'll have no problem making this mount, no need to buy 30 dollar mount. Plus, this can be universal if your itching to buy another tv.

[@BassMatt1972]
