Materials for manufacturing
In order to make a swivel bracket, you will need:
- two metal perforated corners with a stiffener;
- mounting DIN-rail (used in electrical panels for mounting modular equipment);
- set of bolts with washers and nuts;
- impact drill or hammer drill;
- dowels;
- pliers;
- screwdriver or screwdriver;
- hacksaw for metal;
- two screws;
- a can of paint to match the color of the TV;
- tap.
Step 1: Attaching the Bracket to the TV
We cut the Din-rail of the required length so that when the mounting holes are aligned with the mounting sockets on the TV, it is possible to mount a metal corner in its center.
We bend it a little in the center, taking into account the thickness of the corner.
We fasten the corner to the rail with two bolts, bending down.
We fasten the DIN rail with screws to the TV.

Step 2. Fasten the corner to the wall
We mark and drill holes at the desired height for attaching the second metal corner.
We fasten the corner with a bend up.
Step 3. Hanging the TV
We combine the two corners and fasten them with one bolt so that the screen can be rotated.
If the bracket is visible, it must be detached and painted to match the color of the TV
.
It remains only to install the TV in place, connect the power and antenna and enjoy watching your favorite TV shows.
