British Rail 12 ton vented wagon conversion

[Wildefalcon]

No, far too thick. That's the challenge, I'm doing this in 10mm. That bracket is six times as deep and would leave the TV far too far out.

 

[Wildefalcon]

Hinge pivot one done.

7mm deep, so far.

 

[Wildefalcon]

And a vesa sized plate for the monitor.

 

[Wildefalcon]

Well, it's going okay.

The hinges are shallow, the angles are good, everything is folding where it should.

 

[Wildefalcon]

The problem, as anticipated, but still annoying, is there's too much wobble in the bars. I've a plan to brace them better, but it might not work.

The shallow challenge, makes it hard to get a rigid frame.

If this doesn't work I'll use heavier, larger box, and the monitor can protrude out an inch or two.

It will be a minor defeat.

 

[gaz1]

if you weld it like a beam it will make it rigid

your issue is still the flex between top and bottom where it can twist because its too thin

the only way to get around it is by using a scissor jack reference then add swivel out

 

[Wildefalcon]

I get what you are saying, mostly

Trouble with the scissor is that it's got to be able to pivot to 90 degrees as well as extend.

I'm hoping a good chunk of light braces will stiffen it up.

And tying it all into one piece. And keeping the total depth to 10 ish mm. Won't be today.

 

[gaz1]

this is roughly the same

[Wildefalcon]

Ummmm. I need something light, thin, strong, resistant to warping to brace the hinge arms.

I wonder......

 

[gaz1]

for the lcds of nowadays the thinest lcd is 5-10mm

so depending on the type you want to buy and its go from there whilst the scissor tv stand would be roughly 1 1/2" from the wall the tv will fit in the hole level within reason if you have used 2" insulation

 

[gaz1]

for a slide out system remember this can be made out of metal

 

[Wildefalcon]

It's a one inch thick TV. And the insulation is one inch.

 

[Wildefalcon]

I've bought a swivel TV mount. I'll combine it with my efforts. Might work.

Meanwhile, I've started the stove installation.

I'm just cleaning it up and popping some paint on it, and redoing the seals/ropes.

The plan is to go flue through the wall. With proper twin wall the whole way.

Safe, sealed, and secure.

 

[Wildefalcon]

And the test. My measurements of the stove base, any good?

Yes!

 

[Wildefalcon]

I'll build the flue as the dimensions dictate. Starting with the adapter and a 1 metre section, the hole in the wall will be where the hole will be ....

 

[Wildefalcon]

Management is baulking at the cost of the flue.

 

[Blobber]

Not sure but I think you have to have the first section as vitreous enamel single wall flue?? not sure if the twin wall can take the temperatures close to the stove, might be worth checking

 

[MattF]

How come you've not painted the underside?

 

[gaz1]

it will be an elbow but should be an access elbow then to twin wall go through the side fit a tee piece a piece below the tee and a cap and then the flue upright above the tee

straight up the cost will roughly be the same and thats due to the stove that you picked

on the rocket stove its different the main heat comes up and goes back down reducing that flue temp at the same time output of the flue is above 200f

this is a 4" stove used with pellets

small yet powerful enough to heat that railway sidecart

the other one you can use is the boat charcoal burner and thats 2" flue

 

[Wildefalcon]

How come you've not painted the underside?

1

It was on the base for painting.

I couldn't be arsed.
