This may sound odd but can you? The house the wife and I bought is made in 1926 and I don't think my wall will be able to handle it. No the place is not falling apart the wall is just plaster and the studs are spaced far apart. None in the middle of the Tv/could not wall mount that too.

What type of TV are you using? Do you have shelves below that the center can sit on, and angle upward?

Your walls are probably plaster over wood lath and would hold up very well.

Install a board (plaque) between the studs and mount the center on that. It'll distribute the weight. I did something along those lines with my QS8s as I didn't want the plaster to just break up.

very nice I will do that for my center, thanks. How did you mount the wood on the wall? I see no drill holes.

Hollow wall anchors.... but the holes are under where the speaker mounts!

Hi Mark,
That is very nice looking; it makes a beautiful bearing plate.
Congratulations, very well done !

No, there is no space to put the center on the tv stand, also what is wood lath? Wooden slats about 1.5" wide and 3/8" thick. The plaster had to stick to something. That looks dangerously practical Mark.

Nice work Mark!  I wish I had those talents....if I did the first thing I would make is a nice wood stand for my headphones.

I heard Norm has an upcoming episode on The New Yankee workshop on PBS, including some guy from New Hampshire.

I'm a beginner.
Those are just cut and routed boards, but they're practical as a way of mounting stuff on plaster.

If I had a router, I could fool people into thinking I knew what I was doing.

Mark, I don't know how I missed this, but nice work. Great idea for those pesky missing studs.
