roaddog359 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Well I wanted to let you guys know that I finally have all my material and will be starting on it this week. The mantle if for the RC-64 cherry center channel and the mantle will be placed above my tv. The mantle will be made out of Oak. I will be using 7" Crown molding that was cut in Arizona at a custom shop. Attached is a sample piece of the crown but not in Oak. I have a better pic of you stuff but i am having trouble getting it off my camera phone now. When I can I will post that pics of my crown and base. I am going to do the crown with 2 pieces of stacked base on the bottom. this pic is with 1 piece of base on the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roaddog359 Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 its only about 30-40 lbs so far. But with the 63lbs of the Rc 64 it will top out over 100lbs total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted April 23, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 23, 2009 " Honest oppinions please! Good or Bad. " Well honestly it looks like you will need a mantle to hold the mantle, it will be heavy. Really it looks good and a nice design , not the plain old straight boring mantle. [Y] Better find a FEW studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liebherr954 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Roaddog its coming together very well, are you going to stain it or leave it natural? It looks like you have a nice work shop at home. How many anchor spots do you have for it? When you get to that stage please let me know, I would like to see how you secure it to the wall. Keep up the great work.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaddog359 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 It will be stained to match the rest of the oak i my home. Planing on a french cleat or z bar for mounting but still thinking about it. Here are some more pics with the crown just set in place but not mounted yet.
