Any chance you could post a parts list. Looks like a neat easy job but it is always more simple if you know exactly what bits to get.

1no furniture leg aluminium from b&q
7no 60mm m6 bolts

Why have you got that 60w bulb hanging from your Sanyo ? To up the ansi ?

 

[morphy]

watt do you mean bulb hanging down

no seriously this pj lark had to be real wife friendly otherwise it was going to be a no,no..

firstly she werent too happy about moving the furniture around,
secondly she didnt want cables everywhere
thirdly she definetly didnt want a screen on show....

so ive had to compromise and compromise but finally ive almost got what i want

i used a speaker stand for my mount.

only down side, was drilling 2 holes in the ceiling to get it through.
but its very neat so pretty happy about it.
