Project Outcome
In this post I would like to describe how one can construct a monitor wall-mount rig. Of course, this will require some materials and some tools without which this project may become impossible to complete.

Flash Light
Please, do not expect anything serious from this post. This project was more a practical joke than anything usable more than once.
