  3. How to build a TV lift cabinet to go with your decor

    So, you’ve got a beautiful log cabin. It’s your go-to vacation spot, but man, do you miss the TV there! Suppose you do get a TV there, it’ll be an beautiful combination. So, what do you do? You try finding a solution to the possible issues. 

    The trouble that a TV can cause are:

    1. Clash with the decor-  Sleek, modern TVs, and rustic log cabins just don’t go together. While the cabin is old-world charming, a TV is a modern blackhole and at best an eyesore from the decor point of view. Completely ruins the look of the place.

  4. How To Build A Top Secret Cabinet Lift

    Out of an entire range of TV lift mechanism sizes (from 25 to 46  inches), Doug chose a 25-inch lift for his project. The sturdiness of each lift is unbeatable, letting you choose whichever size you want, without any anxiety. Of course, common sense and specified weight limits are the only considerations. 

    The motor and controller come ready to use. You don’t need any assembling. The mounting kit also contains screws to mount the TV onto the lift mechanism, but that is if you want to use it as a TV lift mechanism. Doug clearly had other plans.

    Doug used metal tubing to make legs and rails. Next, he welded it all together to make a frame. Once the frame of the cabinet was made, he placed a metallic plate at the bottom, making a sturdy base, to place the TV lift mechanism on. Another metallic plate was used
