FINAL PIECES
Drill a few holes through the top and bottom parts
of the frame, as shown – this aids ventilation.
Nothing should be getting toasty hot in there, but
it’s better to have some air going through. You’ll
also need a piece, as shown, with some slots to
hang over screws in the wall. You should make a
little indentation on the back of the bottom piece
of wood so the power cables can run through to
the monitor and Pi. Finally, create some small
brackets that you can fasten to the frame to keep
the monitor from falling out of the back.STEP 06:
SANDING &
SMOOTHING
Use a little filler to cover any dents, as well as the nail
heads on the front of the frame. Give it a sand as well,
to smooth everything off and prepare for painting.STEP 07:
GET PAINTING
In this example, the frame has been painted white with
some wood paint. Make sure to do this in a well-ventilated room.STEP 08:
