I watched a lot of videos before this and I was convinced that I’ll be hiring someone to do the work. However after I watched this video twice since yesterday, I got the confidence to do it myself. Mounted an 85” TV with some basic tools. Thank you very much for all your videos.
Great video, just convinced me to buy a table.
Cool.
Haha yes!!!! Love it :)
After watching this I’m returning my TV
Lmaoooo
😂
This is a seriously through DIY vid on wall mounting a TV. Loved all the little tips you mentioned, but one especially about the mounting holes not necessarily being centred behind the TV.
Please do a video on how to install an outlet receptacle on the wall behind the TV? I have a basement behind the wall of my living room. While there are videos on CZcams for this, I trust you, Rob.
Best Wall mounting video on CZcams. Thank you sir, you answered several questions I had that none of the other videos I watched touched on. Subscribed
Good thing I watched this video before mounting our tvs! The mounting behind the TV is off center! Thank you!
I'll be tackling a TV wall mount over a fireplace with stone veneer above it... I appreciate your step by step guide and will use your helpful hints.. And I'll make sure to have extra tape available! Thanks for the great video!!
Powerful guy I love it bro God bless!
"Can't over damage a wall that's going to be hidden." LOL I love your common sense about things.
Cheers!
Everything looks cleaner when you hide the dirt!
Thankyou, your videos are ALLWAYS right, helpful, intuitive and fun. Doing this today!!
Your work is phenomenal! I watch your videos, simply because I love transformation. The end results are always extremely clean and well done. Thanks for the content
Hi Jeff I'm from Russia I'm also involved in repairing this that I see your video It's very interesting for me I learn a lot of new things Thank you very much 💪😊
Thanks Oleg, glad to help. Happy new year in Russia
"4 or 5 inches is enough"
THATS WHAT I KEEP KELLING HER
🤣
Yu
lmao
You have been lying your whole life hahaha
Best TV mount video on CZcams
Excellent instructions. Very well put together.
Great advice. I used this method, and the TV and mount aren’t moving anywhere! I’ve been following your channel for months now, and I’m definitely a fan. Thanks!
Great job on this video - you are an excellent teacher.
Man, your channel saves me so much time. Wish the hubby would have listened to me and found the studs BEFORE but, I'm glad I have ya now 😆
Alright.. gonna give this a try right now! Thanks for the video!
You just saved me lots of time finding my studs! Great video Jeff!
Cheers Doug!
Where has this man been all of my life?? Oooh!! Here’s the secret!! Finding the studs!! I’m sure this is over my pay grade but I’m tired of people “saying” they will help me so I’m GOING FOR IT!!
You make all your videos very simple to understand. Great job
Thanks Mike, we try!
Really helped me to drill 10/20 holes all over my wall top notch vid
12:30 Instead of drilling to search for stud edges it could be less damaging for drywall just probe with steel wire instead
Great video that my next project
I love your videos. Thank you for the effort of making them...
Cheers, we love making them.
AWESOME video because I have the same exact tv lol...u helped me a LOT!
I typically determine where I want the TV to go, attach the arms on the back, and measure from bottom of TV to the groove on the arms. No extra math needed. Also. With tilting or fixed mounts on drywall, snap toggles hold just fine, so finding studs aren't required if you're having a tough time.
Thank you
I do the same up to the point before you drill the four holes, instead I insert the bolt into one of the top holes of the mount and drill it halfway in the stud then I place a level on it and do the other hole at the top. Once its level, I do the other two bottom holes and tighten all four.
I'd like to watch a video of you building a music studio..I know you would make it perfect Jeff
So................Awesome……. Thank you very much. 🙏🙏🙏
thanks for this good work
Thank you for your comment Yacine.
love it . thank you Soo much . your always awesome. can you please make a video of installing gum vinyl flooring?
Vinyl flooring coming out in a few weeks. Thanks again. Have a great 2018!
Most electricians are right-handed, therefore they hold the box in their left hand while screwing the
box to the stud on their left. Knowing this you can feel the stud that is left of the outlet.
Great advice! Subscribed :)
Love your videos
Thanks Dennis. We appreciate your comments.
Thanks for this vid. If you had a regular wall made with drywall would it be easier to find the stud?
When I did my basement before Sheetrock I put wood between studs in living room and bedrooms. Make my life easier when I’m ready to mount TVs. And I took pictures of measurements of each room also so I know exactly where the wood is.
That is the sign of experience.
Thats what i did too but i used 3/4 inch wood in between the studs like 15 inches high
Thank you dear💐🌷💐
Have a great new year.
Great video keep up the good work my friend !!!👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you J R
How do you wall mount it when the wall is drywall then 1x2 furr strip then cinder block? Should I use a 3 1/2 tapcon or still use the wood screw? I will be mounting a 55” on a mount that can swivel and extend out about 18”
Excellent job Mr Thorman you lion king creativeness
Thank you very much. All the best to you and your family in the coming year.
Home RenoVision DIY thank you you too
You had to turn it into rocket science
Jovani Ferrer lmao I know right
Great instructional video sir. Thank you for posting it for us all. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you Gary, we have a bunch more on the way! Cheers!
what do you think about mounting a tv in the corner ? saw a echo gear brand i was thinking about buying for my 65" curved
My wall was mass concrete in bedroom and so easy,but down stairs that concrete has insulation board up etc, stud finder wouldnt do shit,so I used a magnet to find the screws from the insulation board. Bingo studs. Then welded angeled metal bar to the bracket, and got massive bolts to drive into concret too, that puppy aint going any where.
Hope you have a great new year
Thanks for sharing. Very true that not all walls are made the same. Happy new year to you as well.
Great explanation like always. Do you have a video on choosing laser level?
Just get a cross line and cheap. Cheers!
The real question is, where did they get that accent wall wood from? Looks amazing!
Homeowners or a neighbors old fence I bet.
Great tutorial...thank you
Glad you liked it. Have a great 2018!
Hi Jeff thanks for your videos I wonder if you have a video of how to do that wall that you are working on
Sorry, it is a 4x8'sheet good with a print. just be sure to paint the wall a dark color so the seam does not show when it shrinks in the winter.
That is a Monday morning wall, sir!
The crew is still tipsy...
This is the epitome of measure twice, cut once. Jeezus!!
Love your shows! Where can i get a wall board like that? Its beautiful!
Lowe's was selling this particular product. Cheers Cathy!
Wow man I have to give it too you on this one. hats off and cheers sir. I love your math techniques. FYI new handy peeps, not every home will be 16 nor 24 inches so don't find your stud at one or the other and go off that. I worked on a house that was frames in random order. One at 16 and the next at 18 nor 24. I found 4" apart studs. Damn shame whoever put that house together but anyways. Find your studs and mark first just to be sure. The first couple studs will tell you if you will have issues with the rest of the house you're working on.
the majority is and thank goodness for that. the decorative wall board made my stud finder useless. Cheers!
These are great videos. I just wanted to make some comments regarding the math for the viewing angle in case anyone was wanting a more detailed explanation. I want to make the disclaimer that I know Jeff was making a rough approximation and I'm just building on top of what he said.
If you remember your high school geometry, the angle can be found by taking the tangent of the opposite (height) over distance (width). Jeff misspoke saying that 1/4" every 4ft gives a 1 degree slope. It is actually 1/4" every *foot* that gives a 1 degree slope. Let me illustrate (I convert ft to inches):
tan(0.25" / 12") = 1.19 degrees. This is approximately 1 degree.
tan(0.25" / 48") = 0.30 degrees.
So this changes the math a bit. Also from your high school geometry, you learned that if the sides are proportional between two triangles then they have the same angle. Thus, the following is true:
If 1/4" per 1ft = ~1 degree slope,
Then 3" per 12ft = ~1 degree slope.
The next step is Jeff multiplies by 5 to retrieve the distances for a 5 degree slope. *This is an approximation!* In actuality it is not true and I will show below. It's close so it doesn't matter in the end however.
If 3" per 12ft = ~1 degree slope,
Then 15" per 12ft = ~5 degree slope.
If you want the exact answer, then you take tan(5 degrees) * 144" to get 12.6". (If you take tan of 12.6/144 that gives you exactly 5 degrees.) If you do the math, 15" / 12ft is actually 5.94 degrees but close enough.
In the end, one could theoretically mount the TV *12"* up and still be within 5 degrees if sitting 12ft away.
1/4 per foot is actually over 2 percent slope, think of 8 feet which is 96 inches would be 2 inch slope. An 1/8th per foot would be much closer. .01 x 12" = .012 x 16 = 1.92 over 16.
5/8ths would be a 5% slope in a foot
We don't need all this stinkin' math. We need to mount the TV to the wall, not plot a rocket ship to the moon.
What size lag screws do you recommend? The ones that come with mounts are usually 2-3/4" long but I thought you should never risk going past 1-1/2" into the stud?
I have the same question
nice video, as usual... continue your awesome work...can you do a video about soundproof walls? I am looking to build a kids bedroom next to my mechanic room in my basement... need to soundproof that..thank you for you help as usualtake care
We are planning on it. I love the product called sonopan. Google it and see if you get it in your area. Installs like drywall but goes on behind it. Amazing product at eating sound.
He's got "secrets" folks and all the answers!
In addition to studs, I also buy anchors and apply them to every other hole in the wall mount. I go overboard for safety.
Do you have a video about the wall? I love that look.
Sorry Johnathan, Max installed that himself. It is a 4x8 panel for sale at Lowe's. Just tack it up with some 2 sided tape and a few brads. I think each sheet was like 50 bucks.
Jeff, are you going to do a follow-up with cable management through the wall and adding an electrical outlet behind the TV?
Yes but we install the shelf so close to the t.v so we don't need to go into the exterior wall for changes or cables. The outside wall is insulated so opening it up was out of the question. In this case cable management is done by convenient shelf locating. Have a great 2018!
Home RenoVision DIY Have a Happy New Year! I can't wait to see what projects you have for us in 2018!
What kind of tile is that? My wife and I are looking for that rustic look for our bathroom.
What if I’ve got 24in on center studs and I put two lag bolts in center of mount and four heavy duty toggle bolts on the four corners? Didn’t want to open up wall to put boards in
Cool videos 👍What kind of camera do you use?
Hey Max can you answer this one.
I can't see to find the studs very easy i have some stud finder but it seems broken. Its way different for mobile homes. How can you reinforce the wall area for mobiles?
I have a very intriguing question - the wall looks very nice, are you the one who did it? It's so beautiful, apart from the Einstein's science of installing a TV on the wall. Great job man, I learned a lot. Thanks so much.
Actually Zaheer, Max installed this himself. It is a 4x8' sheet good that comes with the print. It is 1/4 inch thick and was just thick enough to make using a stud finder useless. Max put it up with pin nails. It is available in Lowes here in Canada.
I've got a sound bar on the wall right now I need to know how measure so I know where the bracket on the wall goes so the TV is has a slight gap from the soundbar below
Did you install that accent wall?
So my outer wall is cinder block and drywall is attached to firring strips. How the hell to I mount on this?
How do I mount this above my fireplace? It has drywall over 1x4" strips then the cinder block. Do I just drill through everything right into the block? I can't see mortar lines etc. Don't want to mess up the integrity of the fireplace
Let me echo a couple of previously requested comments. Is there a video on adding that rustic wall board ??? It looks assume.
Not yet! Cheers!
1.5 to 2" gap or loss from 2x4 corner wall is where the measurement is not accounted for, that's why the measurement wasn't at your 16" on center markings. Thanks for the video
I really like your vids and you generally have really good information but I think you made a bit of a mountain out of a mole hill on this one. Zip-toggles can really be your friend when hanging a television. Also installing the hanger brackets and wall plate to the back of the television first is a much simpler way of finding your mounting center and height. Also if you know the television is going to live in a tilted down position it will actually shut slightly lower than expected.
I would have already had mine installed,lol
Awesome mathematics...
Cheers!
What about power/cable up on wall behind tv?
Why not use a stud finder? Did I miss that?
unfortunately Max had installed the wood faux paneling over the wall and a stud finder would not penetrate. This would have been much easier on a painted wall surface.
Could you recommend a good stud finder tool?
anything for 20 bucks will work great. no need to spend a fortune. Cheers!
Nice video Jeff - I don’t ever mount a TV with just wallboard inserts. I’ve seen other guys do it, but no way am I going to do it. Even though todays TV’s aren’t that heavy (in comparison to 10 yrs ago or so), little kids like to pull on things.
They may not be heavy but the pulling out and twisting just scares the heck out of me.
Hello, any suggestion about a brick wall? How should I install the tv brackets? Thanks
you can use a masonary bit to drill the holes and then use plugs to hold the screws. Cheers!
thank you very much :)
Hey Jeff great video! Do you know what barn board max installed there? It’s absolutely beautiful! Also do you have a tutorial of you installing an accent wall similar to this one?
no tutorial yet but the product was from Lowes
I have plasterboard walls, fixed to the underlying bricks with adhesive. My issue is that my house is build of Spanish type brick, completely hollow and even at a slow drill speed the bricks tend to blow out when drilled into leaving me with no solid wall to fix into and not enough space for the new geefix super strong device. Any ideas how I could get a good fixing on this and not blow out the brick? Thanks
If it was be I would build a 2x3 wall the same width of the tv and attach top and bottom and use it like an accent piece for the wall. You can make the framing as strong as you want and hang anything.
What if you hit a pex water pipe in looking for the stud using your hit and miss method?
We don't have water lines on exterior walls. That is why this method is acceptable in this situation.
This dude
slow down with the coffee , your making me dizzy
Thank goodness I thought it was just my house with funky studs
Max, did Jeff call you cheap? If you want to recycle the bracket and take a chance on letting that expensive tv fall to the ground and shatter, that's your business. Just kidding. I recycle, too. And it's ok if Jeff wants to call you cheap. He's the one doing all the work. How many times did he say 'phew', like a tired old man? You know what's really funny? I watched this whole video, and I don't even own a tv! HAPPY NEW YEAR, guys!!! Here's to more fun in 2018!!!
LOL. Oh Sandy that was awesome. Max even created his own hardware for one of the brackets that was missing. Love reusing something that otherwise would have been trash. Have a great 2018 to you and your family. Cheers.
Watching how much thought you put into doing a project makes me nervous to trust any "professional company" to do anything because I feel only YOU would do it RIGHT.
You are always beautiful ,god bless you.
Thanks!
Should have used a rare earth magnet to find where the studs are that way you wouldn't have put all those extra holes in the wall
Just use an industrial flexible scope with a 5MM distal tip camera to see the stud location behind the wall . SIMPLIFY YOUR JOB !!!! “Remember if you can not see you can not trust it . !!! “
How is an impact driver different than a screwdriver
I want to put my 50 inch TV on a wall but in the corner not sure wether it's more complicated to do that plus for some reason my TV is extremely heavy! Everyone else's 50inch TV can be lifted like was done at the end here when he went to put it on but there no way I could lift mines like that. I don't understand why its so heavy. When I bought it I just assumed it would be the weight of any normal 50inch only when taking it home it was like my God I need help to carry it!
Jeff: Hey in today’s video we’re going to show you..
Me: hold on wait! What?! I’m confused.
no love for the snap toggles?
Single thick drywall won't hold a TV with snap toggles. I know some people will use them in double thick drywall, although I still like to hit studs. Snap toggles are excellent for metal studs though.
you should purchase the walabot, this device lets you even see inside concrete columns
Perhaps but the goal here is to help homeowners not show off cool tools that they will never own.
go get a stud finder mate...however i am really impressed by your basic teaching skills which comes after years of experience...
my stud finder is a hammer. I'm old school but from the new school.
Not as helpful on a faux finished wall as you might think.
So.... I need to do this on an exterior wall, that has 2 layers of brick.... no studs.... how do I do that?
