    In 2024, I'm still using the techniques Dave demonstrated in this video, to install equipment in the field, when we need a wall-mounted solution, & brackets are not available. Your advice has continued to help & offer solutions, that serve the community.
    Thanks Dave! :)

  • @arbutuswatcher
    @arbutuswatcher 2 года назад +9

    I have actually employeed Dave's method of mounting items, with wire at my job, however I took a slightly different spin. Instead of using aluminum wire or chain-link ties, I use #6 solid copper wire, with a gray rubber-like insulation. The copper is stiff, but pliable, and the rubber-like insulation 'grabs' everything it's wrapped around - no sliding out or slipping unexpectedly. The best part is that it's free, since my employer orders this ground wire by the pallet. I also picked up a commerical-grade Wiha Round Nose Pliers, to assist with the wire bending. It's turned-out to be a godsend, for a variety of items, whether their intended mounting was just poor or completely non-existend. I've even had a few co-workers ask where I got the brackets, to which I've explained that it's just insulated # 6 solid copper ground wire. Thank you David for a genuis idea! :)

  • @tryptala
    @tryptala 8 лет назад +10

    The aluminum ties are a cool idea. There are lots of different kinds of perforated metal tapes--such as galvanized plumber's tape--that will do the same thing faster. For small or thin objects, I use square bend hooks a lot of the time.

  • @CampKohler
    @CampKohler 6 лет назад +4

    If you have a bunch of items to mount, do it like telco always does: screw an appropriately-sized sheet of 5/8" plywood to the wall studs. Then use #8 slotted pan-head sheet metal screws for each device anywhere on the board. For some reason, not painting the bare board always seems esthetically pleasing, probably because it's always been done that way.

    @OneironauticalOne 6 лет назад +2

    Good advice to build from. What I like to use mostly is adhesive Velcro. I staple/nail the soft fluffy bit to the wall then stick the stiff clingy bit to the object to be mounted. Yes the adhesive on the velcro bits can come undone but I've had things for literally (not hyperbole) years without it coming undone. It's easy and makes things removable and replaceable.

    I've never had much trouble with double-sided tape, personally, but I will say I love using Velcro: The adhesive works pretty dang well on most surfaces, and allows for easy removal of anything you might want to pull off. Great way to combine storage and display of musical gear, like my corny drum machines and old junky keyboards (obviously not the big ones, mind you).

  • @shrikedecil
    @shrikedecil 5 лет назад +1

    If you have a pile of stuff to mount, or want/need to make many fewer holes in the wall, you can mount everything on a sheet of plywood, and then figure out how to position that. I've used both "freestanding. held up by my desk" and "mounted to the wall - inverted with standoffs". Inverted meaning - the *back* of my board faces the room and can be painted, and all my devices are "hidden" mounted.

  • @EspHack
    @EspHack 7 лет назад +12

    all you need is a metal clothes hanger, you bend it to be straight and use it to grab whatever it is you need to set in place with pliers, I've mounted a wood plank to a window's metal bars behind my bed to mount a huge ass projector, among many other things, like strapping a wifi antena to a 4 story tall metal rod, women around you may not like you destroying all the metal hangers but its a wonderfully useful tool :P

    When looking at ways to mount electrical / electronic devices that are designed to be placed on flat level serfaces it is important to first check to see if mounting it at any other orientation may be damaging to the device. Mechanical devices may be affected by the direction of the force applied by gravity. Electric and electronic devices may be affected by the direction of thermal convection, and changing the orientation may cause heat to build up where it was not met to or not get away from where it was supposed to.

    • @nzzenith
      @nzzenith 5 лет назад +1

      Broadcast1Channel I think you came out feet first.

    • @robthom09
      @robthom09 5 лет назад +3

      Yes you are right. I have seen devices ruined , from improper orientation and thermal heat issues. Sometimes the heat generating devices are placed near one side of the enclosure to dissipate heat, per design. If that source of heat becomes at the bottom of a vertical installation then components can be damaged. Another concern is that I have seen many devices with intermittent - hard to troubleshoot problems due to improper mounting orientation, if not considered. But, Im sure many things these days can be wall mounted.

    I wall mounted my old desktop computer monitor and CPU tower using scotch tape and staples. The secret is to use lots of hot glue to reinforce it all. My only problem was not taking in to account the need for an electrical outlet. I solved that by running a 50ft extension cord from the other side of the room. Just duct tape it to the floor.

  • @shawnr771
    @shawnr771 6 лет назад

    If you live in a wood framed home with sheetrock. Finding the stud behind the wall and using a long enough screw can be quite useful.
    There is usually a stud located to one side of an electrical outlet. Take off the wall plate. You should be able to see the mounting screws or nails .
    If you need to locate one away from the electrical plug then measure in increments of 16 inches from what you can guess is the center of the stud next to the electrical box or the corner. Corners and doors are tricky depending on which way the framer marked off the 16 from the corner or from the door.
    To locate the stud buy either the device called a stud finder or use a good (rare earth) magnet. I use the magnet method. They are cheap and multi functional. Most buildings are built on 16 inch spacing so start looking 16 inches out from the corner. Place the magnets up against the sheet rock and move around in spiral pattern small to large.
    At some point. They will stick to the nails or screw heads this will show you the location of the stud.

    I like industrial rubber bands. With rubber you can remove and easily adjust without re-screwing. There are very heavy sturdy rubber bands that are flat and wide. You can drill a small hole on both sides of the flat rubber band or strap then screw it down with an appropriate screw and oversized fender washer to the mounting surface. The big advantage with rubber straps, other than re-mountability, is that they can maintain positive and consistent tension (grip and grab) where static anchors can lose tension and get loose.

      Ditto. I do this with masking tape. Tape the back of the power bar, poke my holes with a pen. Then put the tape on the wall, drill holes / screw.

      +Zacchi400 where did he said that he covered the wall with wood? Anyway, I also think that fixing it with method 2 directly to the wall will do things worse. If you have to move, then removing the tape will take some paint away. I think that hiding some holes is easier than painting the wall.

    For the power strip, i recommend pokies because they fit in the mounting hole and your only left with a small hole in the wall you can cover up easily
    (It also only takes a minute to mount using pokies

    I use double sided velcro without the sticky stuff. Going vertically I put two flat screws in the velcro to secure it to the wall. Then wrap the velcro around the object. It has held big and heavy equipment for years.

    I wall mount extension strip with 3M mounting tapes that come in a roll. I got those permanent type. I also got good results with mounting a router and modem on the wall. But the drill and bracket shown here allows you to mount more heavier objects than modems or routers.

  • @DevilsAvocado69
    @DevilsAvocado69 6 лет назад +5

    Why is this important? Having that stuff on the wall makes your room look messy. No ones wife wants cable running up the wall in the middle of a room. Also you put holes in your walls? Dude look up command strips, they go upto 7kg that’s plenty of pounds, last years and you just peel them off when you are done. They exist

    • @ForwardBias
      @ForwardBias 6 лет назад +3

      Disorganized cables sprawling all over the floor in a mess of spaghetti looks a lot worse than wall mounted objects.
      And personally, I find wall mounted objects to be quite appealing. You'd only be doing this in your office anyways.

    • @DevilsAvocado69

    0:46 - a much easier way is to photocopy the bottom of the device you want to wall mount. Trim the photocopy to size and you have a template with the mounting holes shown.

    Any metal or plastic housed electronic device that is light enough to be directly hung from a wall can be attached to a strip of aluminum using screws or adhesive, and the strip attached to the wal with screws. Heavier items need to be anchored into wall studs or a backboard that distributes the load acroos enough area and fasteners to resist pulling the wall apart. I've used Scotch Extreme 2 piece fasteners to attach electronic devices to glass and metal surfaces without screws. These support up to 10lb, (2lb/sq inch) are weather and heat resistant and and can be removed and re-joined 1000 times.

  • @joederr8010
