Television Mount Mod

Been a little while since I've been in the Pod neighborhood. Big projects just kept getting in the way this past winter. Anyway, that's all behind us and now it's time for some more pod mods! And some camping/fishing/beer.

I never liked the TV mount that came with the pod. Just seemed kinda cheesy, not well thought out and not versatile at all. I paid a lot of money for that TV and I wanted to be able to use it in my Pod on any wall, in my wood shop, my garage, or anywhere else I needed to watch football, baseball or a cooking show while working on my next invention! Yes dear. Soon, I found an inexpensive articulating mount that got great reviews on Amazon. =>http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Articulating-Monitor-Extension-ML12BCE5/dp/B003O1UYHG

I know you can buy more expensive mounts with multiple "docking ports", but they're ugly and expensive. For less than $15.00 I came up with the WunderMount™ v.1.0.  I used some scraps left from a recent maple floor install and a few dollars worth of t-nuts, PowerHead screws and a couple of 1/4x20x3/4 stainless bolts. I milled the maple with a t-slot router bit and dado set. Now I can quickly move or remove the TV or anything else I might want to wall mount. Once the jigs are made, knocking out lots of blanks and slides is easy. (this is basically a sliding dovetail design) Maybe it will give you some ideas! The PowerHead screws are amazing. Just started using them.

Anyway, good to be home. Hope everyone had a good winter and can't wait to get back out there! Here's a teaser pic. More detailed pics can be found at:  https://goo.gl/photos/5Vrtc1XTMvfhajri6
