How to Make a Floor Stand for an LCD TV

In the same way that every person needs a home, an LCD TV needs a durable stand. A stand will protect the TV from children's horseplay and possible mishaps. If you have been looking at TV stands in catalogs or stores but are hesitant to shell out your hard-earned money on an expensive, but high-quality television stand, you can be thrifty and make your own first-rate version with materials available at your local hardware store. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Cut the two pieces of 3-inch thick wood bases to the maximum width and length of the TV.

2

Saw four 4-by-4-inch legs that are 14 inches in height, using an electric or manual saw. You may change the height of the legs according to the height of your own TV.

3

Take one of the 3-inch wooden bases that you cut and position the four legs on the four corners of the base. Using a pencil, draw an outline around each leg.

4

Cut out the four squares that were drawn using the pencil. From the piece of 8-by-10-inch wood, cut out four, small rectangular slots, around 4 --by-2 inches.

5

Place all four legs in the empty rectangular slots, and then attach the small 4--by-2 inch piece on them for support using nails. Grab the other base and nail it on the top of all four legs.
