I currently have 7" sets scattered all around my place and decided I needed to do something more practical. Specifically, I want to take advantage of my over 9' ceilings. No standard shelving system is going to do exactly what I want so I'm going to roll my own from scratch.

First, I came up with a balsa wood prototype. Imagine the wood blocks are TVs


Now for the full sized thing. I'm going to use off the shelf dimensioned lumber from a local hardware store. All 1"x2" mahogany and maple.


I picked up this refurbished Ryobi miter saw cheap and it works great.

Here's the Admiral TV I restored, that I got off the bay. It's similar if not the same model I had as a kid (this one in this picture sitting in the same corner of the same room I grew up in where the old one sat), that one was my father's mom's, who bought it new around 1950.
