Custom Projector Mount

I watch movies and television shows on my projector, but I wanted to get it off the table and out of the way. Using scrap materials I built this stylish and highly adjustable mount in an afternoon.

Tools and Materials

Various bits of angle, plate and channel, all in hot rolled steel.

Miscellaneous 1/4-20 hardware

Cutting the Material

Using whatever was on hand, I cut the material and ground all the edges smooth.

Weld It Together

I used a TIG welder, but you can use whatever is available and you feel comfortable with.

Mount It

I used two existing 3/4" studs that were protruding from the beam in my living room.
