Tool Time

This is where I plan to place a few Howto videos for various DIY projects that can be carried out around the house, in order to achieve that perfect LMCE installation. The aim will be to stay away from technical jargon as much as possible, and use standard/simple tools and components that aren't going to break the bank.

• Howto: Construct a rear mounting MD casing for any TV screen with a VESA mount (with slot loading DVD drive).
• Howto: Mount a TV on the wall with MD hidden behind (with a slot loading DVD drive).
• Howto: Make a wall-mounted orbiter (inspired by Techstyle's framing idea). Surface mounted or recessed (flush fitting)?
• Howto: Install a new back box (e.g. for z-wave light switch) and make good the wall (having destroyed it in the process).
• Howto: Chase wall channels, embed cables and make good the wall.
• Howto: Build a single/double bed with integrated "stowable" flat screen TV and MD. LMCE-controlled motor perhaps.
• Howto: Build a waterproof bathroom MD/orbiter (combined touchscreen device?)
• Howto: Make your own ceiling/wall speakers using (decent!) multimedia speakers (if, like me, you are not a complete audiophile, this avoids having an external amp to hide away).
• Howto: Build your own charging cradle/stand for your mobile orbiter (avoid switching it off all the time).
