Intro:  Flat TV standSo here you are, you have brought a now  flat TV set and you need to place it on a floor stand.Not only that but you also want to turn the screen vertically. That's what i had in my mind too so i did a quick search on Google where i found 2-3 brands with productslike the one needed but those stands were very expensive like 500$ or more. So i decided to make one of my own with 100$ or less. Off course you can paint it or usematerials to make it stylish.Here it is...

 

Step 1: MaterialsMaterials you'll need:

- A cheap flat TV wall bracket suitable for your TV.- A plywood board as a floor base. Depends on the screen you have goes the base board.I own a 42" wide screen so i decided to cut a 70x60x3cm plywood board.- A plywood as height as the horizontal height of the wall TV bracket x 20cm width x 20mm of thickness. The above piece of plywood is a versatile one! i will explain lateron.- A plain wood (H=100cm x W=12cm x D=6cm).- A plumbing pipe 1/2 inch diam.- A big screw 14mm diam x 13cm long and x2 secure nuts.- x2 washers with inner diam enough to pass the plumbing pipe.- x2 washers with inner diam to pass the big screw.- x3 metal plates about 10cm x 10cm and 2-3mm thickness. Make a hole in the center with enough diam to pass the plumbing pipe and an other one hole at each cornerfor small wood screws.- x2 long wood screws about 10cm long.- x3 woodwork metal corner connectors about 25cm x 20cm long.- x2 metal corners for shelves about 40cm x 30cm long.- x10 screws with secure nuts and x20 washers with diam enough to pass through the woodwork metal corners holes, about 5-6cm long.- x6 metal screws with secure nuts and x12 washers with diam about 10-12mm x 4cm long.- x3030mm wood screws.- x4  small wheels for the base board.- An electric screwdriver with a nice set, hammer, pliers.
