Hey i was wondering how to make a wooden mounting bracket for an LCD monitor? I've got just a straight up monitor w/o casing (guts and wires show from the back). Basically I wanna know all the different methods of making the frame the monitor sits that is used to shape the piece around the monitor. Does this make sense? thanks Richard

nope its jus the monitor no outter casing, its a monitor that is intended in a flush mount application (that's why i'm trying to make a mount for it so i can make a fiberglass enclosure for it.

I have never tried this exact approach but I have done things similar in nature. The monitor, I assume, would have a plastic case that surrounds the screen and buttons. Remove the plastic housing ( it should snap off, maybe a few screws) so that you have two seperate pieces, the guts and the plastic housing. Mold the plastic housing into your dash or whatever you are putting it into, finish it all up and snap or screw the monitor back into the plastic housing.

if it doesn't have a plastic housing -
make a pair of brackets for the top and bottom, or the sides, depending on wheres there's room. idealistically, these should look like U bracket and bolts, idealistically kinda like exhaust clamps. cover the monitor with tapes or whatever to protect it, lay glass over it, make two strips, that extend out, make a back outta mdf, use the strips to secure the screen to the mdf. then make a face plate that can unsnap from the back of said mdf, allowing you to assemble/disassemble the unit.
