My problem was that I wanted my Center Channel speaker above my new TV but (1) The center channel weighed 38 pounds and (2) The TV had no way to support the weight.
Everyone told me to buy a shelf and bolt it to the wall.
What I actually did was
1. Buy two pieces of electrical conduit ($2.59 each) and bent it 90 degrees with a pipe bender.
2. Paint the pipe the same color as the back of the TV ($3.99)
3. Mount the pipe to the back of the speaker stand ($2.99 for brackets)
4. Purchase a piece of Oak shelving ($27.00)
5. Stain and Varnish the shelf ($11.00)
6. Mount the shelf to the conduit ($2.99 for brackets)
The project took about 4 hours (over a three day period of time for drying of various stuff) and will easily support a hundred or more pounds.
Pictures are posted below.
Hope this will help somebody else with the same problem/desire...
