Completed Trophy Case

Very nice piece, I can imagine the weight. I built a stand for my tv with a shelf underneath for electronics out of solid red oak. I can hardly slide it in and out on the carpet it's so heavy.

I see your "Freedom Cleat" will allow them to really secure that beast between studs.

It's a 90º, JPG. The weight will hold it in place and the sides extended beyond the back capture the cleat and keep it from moving side to side.

I would call that a Farmer aka Francis Robinson cleat.

Hookay! I can conjure up a possible concern or three on the installation end, but nothing that I'd lose any sleep over. Unless the installer is a real idiot, anyway. So I'm just gonna lean back and watch the fun unfold.

The customer picked up the case yesterday and hung it that evening. Everything is good. He was quite impressed with the "Freedom Cleat".
He even tipped me an extra $200.

That's a heck of a tip! Congrats!
