Does this sound like a plan? Of course, I originally thought of a
couple 2x12s and some 12" concrete blocks but the moms puked. Ain't

Actually, I think it may even be cheaper to use a couple 2x12s for the
top and find a piece of thin ply I have laying around to make a shelf.

go to radio shack and get a swivel wall mount, easy and saves floor
space.


Do you have any idea what a large mount like that costs, sir? (HINT:
it's about $200 more than bricks and low-grade tubatwelves.)


I've got one in the bedroom, don't recall what I paid for it, wasn't
that much though. I do remember how hard it was for an old fat man to
carry a 30 inch crt tv 9 feet up a ladder.

The OP is talking about a Tube TV of 150+ Pounds.
