Our behemoth 53" TV was starting to show its age. There was a minor bit of pixelation on the left side running vertically and the apps were acting up due to compatibility issues. We bought this off the showroom floor years before Circuit City went under...yeah, it's that old! HDMI was still new and everyone who had a phone had to flip it open. It was time to get a new TV.
After a brief discussion, the missus let slip that size really does matter, so...we ordered the 85"! We needed a new stand.
With a half of a thought in my head I went to the big box store, bought the cheapest SDX plywood I could get, went home, got to work, re-used the glass from the old stand and set it up in the living room. It sagged in the middle! I un-built it, went back to the big box store and bought the red Oak ply, cabinet grade. Went back home,got to work and had it ready in time! Whew!
Months passed and as I sat down to edit the footage I realized that my GoPro crashed and I lost the pocket-hole plugs and the trim footage!
When life gives you lemons, just curse A LOT and build the project twice.
It is our lot in life to suffer!
