WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.880
how does one go from an idea what if we could use the lg signature

00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:10.880
series OLED wallpaper tv to make a

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:17.520
window to anywhere to the realization of one of the coolest

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:19.680
projects that we've ever done

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:27.760
well in my case you ask your wife to do it

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:34.800
no one externally seems to have any idea what Yvonne actually does here but

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:39.440
coordinating random design and construction projects including our most

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:43.680
recent setup grade has been a much larger part of her role than anyone

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:47.440
including her probably expected and that's not always an easy thing to deal

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:52.879
with Linus asked me to help with this project and gave me zero instructions

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:54.480
for what to do and how to film this or

00:00:52.879 --> 00:01:00.879
anything beyond make it cool and modern and have

00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:05.760
a window but like the window's a tv i confess i was pretty hands off on this

00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:11.040
one but let's face it if i was in charge we all know how it would end up looking

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.960
so Yvonne brought in carpenter and super

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:17.520
nice guy george to lend us his woodworking expertise and after much

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:21.439
debate the decision was made that in order to make the tv as easy to remove

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:27.360
as possible what we were going to do was attach it

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:29.759
to an mdf backing with the factory mount

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:34.720
then slide the whole thing into a hollowed-out cavity using the window

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:39.040
casing to hold it in so step one

00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:43.360
go get the tv from the a-roll set we mangled the flat magnetic wall mount

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:48.799
a little bit by over tightening it last time but we managed to stretch it out on

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:53.520
our mdf getting it nice and flat well that is to say george managed to stretch

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:58.799
it out on the mdf my attempt to screw it on was so crooked we had to completely

00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.640
redo it then we mounted the tv to it not

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:05.040
entirely without mishap traced the outline to get the exact

00:02:02.479 --> 00:02:09.679
dimensions for our window and finally cut it out with a circular saw

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:13.840
a table saw might have been a bit better but with a steady hand this should do

00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:17.520
the trick throughout this process Yvonne was

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:22.319
working on the design aspects of the office upgrade removing the mouse wall

00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:26.879
clock and Linus media group sign and puttying over the incredible amount of

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.599
damage that the construction glue did to the drywall

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:34.319
next step cut out the hole

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:38.720
there is a little bit of room for error here because we'll be adding a frame to

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:43.120
make the window effect more convincing but

00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:45.040
if our drywall cutout isn't truly square

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:48.080
we'll end up covering part of the screen in the corners

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:54.080
so if there was ever a time for measure twice cut once this is it

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:56.319
next some angle grinder tips from george

00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:02.640
followed by twisting out the rest of the metal studs before measuring cutting and

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:05.440
adding wood framing on all four sides to

00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:11.200
friction mount the tv's backing so much for that work that we just did

00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:13.760
filling in this wall a few weeks ago now

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:18.560
everything up until now has been done sort of on faith that it's going to work

00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:23.920
if the mdf backing or the hole in the wall haven't been cut perfectly or the

00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:27.680
flat ribbon cable on the back of the tv doesn't line up with our pass-through

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:33.760
hole to carry it down to the hidden speaker bar below we could be looking at

00:03:30.239 --> 00:03:36.000
hours of cleanup

00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:40.319
oh perfect fit and it's good now obviously we wouldn't

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:43.840
trust just friction on the back plate to hold the tv in place i mean come on what

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:50.320
is this channel where we drop things you need the 100 silent edition which

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:53.470
plugged in it's more like a a porta

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:05.920
so the next step was to create a frame for the tv that's meant to be both

00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:08.959
aesthetic giving our recessed tv a more

00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:11.280
window like appearance and functional

00:04:08.959 --> 00:04:17.519
since it's foam backed so it can sit right up snug against the glass and it

00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:21.280
fits much tighter to hold the whole thing in

00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:24.800
after a few test fits it got a coat of black paint

00:04:22.479 --> 00:04:29.360
better to do that now rather than risk getting paint on the tv while cutting

00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:33.759
around its fine details now it's time to put the tv on its mdf

00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:37.840
carrier for the last time some duct tape pull tabs here should

00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:41.520
help us get the panel out in the future if we ever decide to tear the window out

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:46.639
and relocate while mounting the tv we needed to be

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:51.120
extra careful with the fragile flat ribbon cable a task made especially

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:56.720
difficult by the extension that we planned to use to hide the speaker bar

00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:59.120
away under the built-in desk time now

00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:03.199
then for some putty touch-ups and a final fitting of the black frame and

00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:07.199
then you can rotate there we go yeah that works too this is actually when i

00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:11.360
saw it for the first time and i immediately wondered

00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:17.039
how exactly we were going to hook up the speaker bar which also happens to have

00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:18.639
all of the inputs and outputs for the w

00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:22.639
series OLED but i was assured there was a plan for

00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:27.120
cutting out some of the drywall and fishing it out they just apparently

00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:31.039
needed someone with really really small fingers to actually do it yes it's

00:05:29.440 --> 00:05:34.880
through there moment of truth time having survived a

00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:40.080
drop some bending and the last couple of days

00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:42.960
in a construction zone would the tv still work

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:49.360
yes now the second goal of this project was

00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:54.000
to make the workspace match the hyper-modern design of having a super

00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:59.039
thin tv as your window so it was time then for a custom built-in desk with a

00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:02.320
purpose-built holder for the speaker bar underneath

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:07.600
with a little bit of trial and error we managed to deal with the awkward length

00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:10.080
extension giving us a completely clean

00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:12.880
look without restricting our access to io

00:06:11.039 --> 00:06:16.319
here's how i kind of envision using the new setup

00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:21.840
a couple shelves some cable pass-throughs and some paint and we're

00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:24.560
getting pretty close to finished but

00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:29.440
between paint drying times and waiting for a few small items not least of which

00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:33.759
is some sexy brandon footage to play in the window brandon

00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:38.160
sexy footage getting the knot cool we're out of stuff that we can do for right

00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:43.199
now so stay tuned for part three which is going to be the glammed up tour of

00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:46.960
the finished ultimate productivity setup

00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:50.720
