Glass Mount
How do you hide the cables on a wall mount shelf for TV components?
I used to have a wall mounted flat screen TV with a wall mounted shelf for the components. It’s two glass shelves. It was taken down over a year ago, and I’ve decided to put it back up. It’s mounted back on the wall, however, we can’t figure out how we are supposed to hide the cables. The top and the bottom have large covers that snap over the system, but there doesn’t appear to be any way to run the cables down the front or anyway to retreive them from the back. any help or suggestions?
You basically have two choices. 1. You can start cutting drywall and hide them in the wall, or 2. You can leave them out in the open but try to make them look better.
Most people end up selecting #2 because it is so much easier.
Relative to #2, Home Depot and many other places have these coiled flexible plastic split tubes which are about 1 inch in diameter. You put all of your cables inside this tube (which does come in different colors), which does look a lot better than a mess of wires hanging there. I’m not sure though with glass shelves how viable an option this is for you.
I will mention that I have heard of surface mount cables, but someone else will have to address this variation, because I’ve never used them.
I’ve actually done both #1 (in our Family Room) because we have an extensive system with Blu Ray, Tv, A/V Receiver, satellite receiver, computer, etc.
Then upstairs in the master bedroom, I did it the easy way, #2.

Fish Mounts And Your Trophy Catch
Fish mounts come in several shapes sizes, colors and materials. There is much more to them than you might at first think. Whether you want to bring home a trophy to remind you of your recent fishing vacation or you simply want an attractive wall decoration that reflects your hobbies, you’ll have several options for the perfect fish mounts.
Traditional taxidermy
These are what we normally think of as fish mounts – or stuffed fish. They’ve been around for centuries and you can have the very fish you caught preserved for the future this way. These fish mounts are actually the skin of the fish you caught stretched over a plaster or foam frame back into the life-like shape; in fact, so life-like you’d swear the fish was still swimming. These kinds of wall mounts are then usually mounted in wood and glass cases and they may have a background painted in keeping with the fish mount.
To have this service performed on a fish you have caught, you should wrap the whole fish in a wet towel, taking care that the fins are flattened properly to the body of the fish. Freeze the whole fish inside a plastic bag if you are choosing a taxidermist which isn’t in your local town or you can’t get to them immediately. After all, you want your fish mount to be preserved in peak condition. In this way it can be mailed in an insulated box so it will still be frozen when it arrives with the taxidermist.
Conservation and pure squeamishness mean that taxidermy is not an option everyone wants to pursue. Now, however, there is an alternative way to get great fish mounts.
Fiberglass Replicas
These aren’t fish at all, but these fish mounts sure do look real these days. They are realistically painted and stylish; these types of fish mounts are lighter in weight than the traditional taxidermist’s art.
You can have your exact fish made into a replica by taking a series of photos of it from all possible directions. A taxidermist or a specialist in fiberglass replica fish mounts will then reproduce this fish in perfect detail – while the fish lives to swim another day. The background to your fiberglass replica fish mounts can then have a specially designed scene to match the particular conditions in which the fish was caught.
Many people would never be able to tell the difference between a traditional skin fish mount and a fiberglass replica fish mount. It’s just as realistic and individual as the fish you caught, but you will have the satisfaction of knowing that the fish didn’t need to relinquish its life for you to have a great fish mount as your trophy reminder of a great day of fishing.
