Now the basic things are done, but before painting or tapin you have to make the installation to the projector, i know, booring.

I had the simplest idea to mount the projector to the shelf, it had to be light and adjustable to side to side and up and down, And the projector has to be easily removed and make the cable installation easy and clean. simple.

And you know what. It is! Just cut a few inches of flat iron strip that has screw holes and you are done. After that install them to the bottom of the projector. (pic 2.) In to the bottom of the projectors back panel install screw that fits in to it  so you can adjust the up and down angle of the projector.(this can also be done whit the shelf lid by adjustin the chains lenght.)

When that is done. drill holes to the lid and install the projector and thats done. just make sure that the projector is installed about center of the lid and the basic line is that it has to be straight and the flat iron has to point left and right in 90 decree angle so that the projectors movement is the same to the each side.

then comes the time to test the lid operating with the projector. picture 4 and 5 will tell the tale

If done right the projector will not chance its possition after closing and opening the lid few times. If it moves or slides down etc. check that everything is tightened propely.
