Re: how-to wire for plasma



I've just finished my own Home Cinema install and channeled the
cables into a brick wall.

I built a mini tent around each channel to minimise dust, but along
with the angle grinder dust it was impossible to see anything going
on and so I found myslf not able to cut in a straight line.

In the end, my dad gave me an idea :
- Pencil the lines in
- Get a sharp stanley knife and score the plaster
- Then, use a thick drill bit to drill into the wall, with
each 'bullet hole' as close as possible.
- For each channel, it shouldn't take more than 20 mins to manually
chisel out the rest


I managed to get my channels all done this way - WITH MINIMUM DUST.

I've only just submitted pictures onto AV Forums today.

Check out my 'Wot No Wires ?' install here :

(Not sure if you have to be a member to see the images)

Best of luck.
