Hello,

I am looking into making a simple wall-mount to hang my 52" LCD TV that weighs about 85 lbs. The retail mounts are ridiculously costly. I was thinking of using 1" walnut to create a frame that will mount to the wall as well onto the TV.

Has anyone endeavored into such a design? If so, can anyone share their experiences please.

I am more concerned about whether the 2x4 studs and 1" walnut can support such a weight.

Thanks,
Sam.
