Welcome dorsum friends! Thanks thus much for all the positive feedback on the renter friendly, imitation fireplace I helped my buddy Part One: Hearth together with Part Two: Fireplace to larn caught upward to this shout for inward the build. Today I'll present y'all how I tackled the over-mantle, or decorative role higher upward the fireplace.
When Kindra starting fourth dimension pitched the stance of a movable fireplace I knew the biggest obstruction was the overmantle together with TV mount. How would I become far removable? Will it motility harm to the wall? Most importantly, how could I brand something, non permanently attached to the wall, sturdy plenty to back upward a heavy television? The blueprint I came upward amongst volition conform a tilting or swiveling goggle box mountain amongst a large apartment covert TV.
Materials List:

1. Cut two, 2 x iv x 50-1/2" side boards together with infinite them 73-1/2" apart.
2. Attach front end supports, connecting vertical sides together. Align 1 back upward level amongst the tumble out together with 1 level amongst the bottom. Secure using mucilage together with 2-1/2" screws through bag holes.
3. Measure your apartment covert TV mountain to create upward one's hear how far apart the 2 x iv supports shout for to be. Attach TV mountain supports betwixt sides, using mucilage together with 2-1/2" screws through bag holes.
4. Attach dorsum back upward boards to sides using mucilage together with 2-1/2" screws through bag holes. Space 14-7/8" from tumble out or bottom ends.
6. Determine the size together with location of the front end plywood panel opening together with grade the rectangular space. Drill a 3/8" airplane pilot hole inward each corner of the rectangle.
Cut opening using a jigsaw.
7. Place imitation paneling on tumble out of boards. Apply mucilage together with secure to boards using 1-1/4" brads.
8. Align 1 x iv trim back on tumble out of 2 x iv sides. Attach using mucilage together with 1-1/4" brads.
9. Place 1 x 3 aspect upward trim back on the front end side of the overmantle. Align the edges. Secure amongst mucilage together with 1-1/4" brads.
10. At this shout for the basic overmantle is built. Fill holes amongst forest filler together with utilize caulk to all seams. Sand smoothen 1 time dry. This would live the shout for when y'all would desire to paint.
Once the pigment is dry, y'all tin house the overmantle on tumble out of the fireplace together with hearth.
11. Locate the studs on the wall. Pre-drill together with drive 4-1/2" x 1/4 lag screws through dorsum middle supports together with into studs inward the wall.
12. There is an intentional gap betwixt the tumble out of the overmantle together with the ceiling. Not all 9' walls are the same peak together with ceilings are ofttimes crooked. Don't worry, the crown moulding volition comprehend the opening together with become far hold off built-in.
Measure, cutting together with miter crown moulding. Attach betwixt the ceiling together with tumble out of overmantle using 1-1/4" brads.
If y'all desire the overmantle to live portable, brand certain non to drive nails into the ceiling. Nail the bottom of the crown onto the trim back together with blast the corners together. Apply a bead of caulk along to ceiling line. When its fourth dimension to move, only exercise a utility knife to cutting the caulk together with the overmantle should come upward free.
Attach the TV mountain together with hang the TV. That's it!
We drilled a 1-3/8" hole through the tumble out of the fireplace thus nosotros could run the cords downwards the back, behind the firebox.
I believe Kindra's TV is a 55" together with non the lightest. The overmantle together with sub-frame concur it's weight amongst no problem.
Make certain to cheque out the starting fourth dimension 2 parts of the serial to larn the total edifice plans.
