:eek:Good for you! Had I known the bracket looked like that..well, I probably would have done it differently than I said. Oh well. Looks good Myriad.

Ok, here's what I mean.:) Oh, and btw, if you elect to use the Hex head machine bolts and Lag the whole assembly, you better verify any offset of the studs vs the centerline of the room first. Then you know where to attach the bracket to the 2x.

One other thing. If you feel a little apprehensive about the 2" lags on the bracket, use HEX HEAD MACHINE BOLTS, washers and nuts. Countersink the backside of the 2x for the nuts and washers for those bolts. That way it CAN'T pull loose.;) Assemble the bracket on BOTH pieces of 2x first, and...

Absolutely. I've done it.:D Use TWO 1/4"x 4" long lagbolts at each connection. That's SIX lags for each 2x4. The lags length has to go through an 1 1/2" of the 2x4, 1/2" or so through the drywall, and 2" into the stud...voila...4". You couldn't pull it off with a bulldozer.:D The lags for...

In that case maybe this will work. Just measure all the centerlines of the bolt holes in the bracket, and align the 2x4 horizontally and vertically accordingly.

Hello Myriad. I don't know the size of your monitor, but I'd fasten a piece of 3/4 ply to the center stud and then fasten the Monitor mount to it. Two 1/4" lag bolts should do it.

No he's not.:) The fact is Myriad, you are becoming an inspiration for others here. You are one of the very few here that actually has implemented the known solutions for Small Room Acoustics. Kudo's to you for your HARD work and persistence. And btw....it looks fantastic! Just like you're...

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!! Long live Analog!!

There is more than one reason to do this. The plastic will reflect Hi Frequencies, therefore allowing only low frequency absorption so the room doesn't become dead. Low frequencies go right through the plastic. Those things SUCK! I've owned two of them and both broke within a month. PLASTIC...

Hey Myriad, anyone with enough guts to try pocket boring is ok in my book.:D More power to ya. You're doing fine. Like anything, the more you do it the better you get. But for first time woodworking ...hey, look what you've accomplished! Kudo's to you.

Damn sus, thank you much. I only posted it to illustrate a good stain on Oak, with a lacquer finish. As to the use of them. They are book shelves for a private library. I built six of those, a much larger display unit with glass shelves, six large arches, a fireplace surround, and used over 800...

:laughings: DOH! :eek::mad:(that was the noise I made when wife slapped me up side the head while standing behind me and seeing my smiley choice......) ;)

Well Myriad, you've discovered what most woodworkers discover sooner or later. Staining is all about the wood..and indeed it is not as simple as it seems some times. Oak, especially. Very few "consumer" stains work well on Oak. Here is some pictures of an Oak unit I built a few years ago. We...

Hindsight is 20/20, and I've learned the hard way too:D Hey, I see you already have some edgebanding.:cool: You might already have one of these, but if not..man do they save a bunch of hassle. VIRUTEX TOOLS I have both of the ones at the top of the page. They work great, although the little...

Holy moly Cory! Never saw this thread. Man, you are one brave dude!

You already got mine. So...good luck with the dissertation Lee.

Fantastic Myriad. Congratulations!!

This is what I use. REAPER | Audio Production Without Limits It works. period.:)

Well then, your chance has arrived with the rack cabinets.:p It's not the saw that counts but the blade. I learned something at the last shop I worked at. He was a dealer for Freud, and always had a supply of Freuds discount $39 blades(60 tooth). We used them for everything and they worked...

Sounds like my wife. She's always buying stuff she don't have a use for.:laughings:
