My previous "thread" is labeled "found".
In it, I mentioned that, along with showing off, my main objective was/is to learn as much as I can about what it is that I have hanging on my wall.
I never thought that the "way" I have my prop. mounted on the wall would be of any interest. I guess I just figured you "true blue" prop guys had surely seen it all.
This mount was made by a friend of mine and consists of 2 pieces.
1) I'll call the round mounting board, has 5 counter sunk holes for lag bolts.
2) The post. The post is counter sunk onto (into?) the round mounting board to increase "shear weight" strength.
A bolt, counter sunk through the back of the mounting board, holds the post to the mounting board.
I use 5 lag bolts to attach this to a wall. I have had this prop. in 2 homes and always mount it over a doorway to make use of the doorway header. The lag bolts go through the sheetrock and into the header. Currently only 4 of the 5 bolts have a "full bite" into solid wood (header).
Even though the prop. I have is over 10 ft long (actual length is 126 inches) it only weighs approx. 55 lbs. and I've never had a problem with it on the wall.
Lord knows I don't have a corner tall enough to stand it up in.
