Hide your TV in plain sight (This is GENIUS!)

Run down to Home Depot to grab some decorative trim and copy this amazing and unexpectedly beautiful TV frame idea…
Cover the frame of the TV, your key to this is to turn all your miter saws to 45 degrees, that's going to be every cut that you make. Start with your first cut right on the end at 45 degrees and then you're going to measure right from the inside. Cut all the way down the length of the TV, that's where your next miter cut is going to be. Turn the saw to the other way and give it another 45-degree cut. Once you get that cut, you're going to go ahead and match it to the next part, that way you don't have to use a tape measure, and you can get the top and bottom frame the exact same size - just use a pen to mark it out and cut it. Once you get all four pieces cut, lay it out and make sure it's all smooth and ready to go. The secret to this is you gotta have glue that's going to hold all the pieces together.
Now just don't lay out a bead, you want to smooth it out so it has as much adhesion as possible. The glue is laid out just go ahead and put it right up next to it and make sure you get those nice smooth lines.
Next you got to get some flat corner braces, that's what's going to hold these frames together. Mark out the holes, be careful, we need to pre-drill all the holes, that way the screws hold inside this MDF wood as easily as possible.
Once you pre-drill the screws, go in without drilling, you can just use a regular old screwdriver to put them in. Make sure you get it nice and tight but don't over tighten, we just want to make sure it's snug and it's holding in place. These corner braces do a great job holding it together.
Once you get all four sides, we got to build a box, that way we can cover the sides of the TV. I use a little bit of 1 by 4. Use that glue it holds the sides together again, we're going to use 45-degree cuts. Look how smooth that is, you can use screws or nails but I go ahead and use a brad nailer. it's really easy to use and it puts a nice fine fastener right inside. I just use three on the side and it gives it a nice smooth look.
Now again we're going to go with the glue we got to put it all the way around the box frame we just built because we're going to lay the frame on top. If you measured right and did good and took your time it's going to fit just right the last thing you need to do on this is use the brad nailer again and put just a few brad nails to hold it together. Once you get those in, let's cover up the nail holes with a little bit of spackle. Just let that dry and sand it clean.
Now it's time for some gold paint any type will work but as you can see it's going to take a couple of coats I did put three coats on here. Let them dry for about half an hour in between coats.
The next thing we got to do is we got to put a little bit of Velcro on the TV that's going to hold the frame in place once we install it it just looks amazing when you're not watching TV you've got your own portrait.
I hope this inspired you to build your own DIY television frame.

The problem with doing this, it keeps heat in and these TVs run hot and when they run hot it starts to degrade the motherboard so even though it looks great, it's not really a good idea
Great tutorial! Saved it for when I’m ready to frame my tv! Thanks!
I really like the last one! Thanks for sharing
I really enjoyed your style and format. As someone new to tools and woodworking I liked your calm manner, slow delivery and encouraging manner. Yes! I think I can do this. Thank you for teaching me not just demonstrating you can do this. I'm subscribing and hope to do many projects to sell my home and for my new home after Thanks 👍 and Blessings ✨

You make it look easy!! Fabulous job 👏🏿
Do you remove the frame from the tv every time you want to watch it or is the portrait somehow projected on the tv?
@kelleyhawk6595

The portrait is from an app on the actual tv itself, so u just change the channel.

Great instructions
Great ideas! Thanks!
Bob Ross is doing woodwork now?
excellent
How does the remote work if you’ve covered the sensor? Do you have to take the frame off when watching?
Looks great
you used a drill to pilot holes so why not use the bit in your screwdriver to drive in the screws. why make things harder.
Overheat!
Excellent idea for wasting electricity.
When I stain I like to use paper towels because they soak up a lot of stain then squeeze out the stain right over a knot which will absorb all the stain then stain the rest of the board.
You put a sheet of Plexi glass inside to protect the tv
But where are the happy little trees?
What kind of glue what brand?
❤❤❤
What TV? lol
Could-have & should-have probably made/used some wafers/biscuits to join the corners.

Not many DIYers have the equipment to make biscuit joints, but most anyone has or can borrow a screwdriver to apply the corner braces. And the finished frame isn’t going to be subject to much stress, so I’m pretty sure the fancy joints won’t be missed.

I do see what you are saying. Hometalk is really about showing many beginner and novice DIYers how to make their own simple projects. Many viewers do not even know what wafers and biscuits are so this method does work and is simple to do.
The frame: Do you think you’re talking to morons? Indeed It does cover the eye the reads your remote. Good luck with that. 🧐☹️🤪

Hi Linda, if you cover the remote eye on the tv, a small drill hole right over the eye will allow you to change the channel or picture on the TV.
Jesus talk about dragging it out. Just say "first make a frame" and so on and so on. Talking sooooo slowly too make the video longer 😫. That frame looks so tacky in that gold spray

I actually found his voice and pace soothing and non- threatening. Many diy shows are usually intimidating with a cocky guy trying to show off his skills rather then teach a novice as this show did. PLEASE don't use Our LORD'S name in vain THAT is so tacky and truly disrespectful. JESUS is KING and GOD be humble and grateful.

@@kelleyhawk6595 if people want others too sugar coat things then turn comments off. That is my opinion as is anything sprayed in gold. The frame did look tacky, I'm allowed my opinion. Not quite sure how a opinion justifies being called tacky, I think you don't quite understand vocabulary correctly. If I ever uploaded anything I'd take the good with the bad, Its the beauty of being a adult we can accept negative comments and learn from them.
