It is a 6" PVC elbow I sanded the rough spots off and then painted it white. Then glued a metal globe holder on the top, drilled some holes in it to put 4" screws to the wall at an angle. Ran the electrical cord in it. It is very solid. Pat. Pending (just joking)ha 1 2 Last edited by dalin; Mon Mar 28 2016 11:52 PM.

OP dalin Petro Enthusiast Joined: Mar 2012 Posts: 388 North Dakota	I like your idea Signs&Neon,or use a external mount even? I think I used some 6"screws to make sure they angled into the stud. Anyways, I tested it by putting 15+pounds on the mount. It didn't move any. So, I figured it was safe to mount my globe on it. I look forward to seeing you guys perfecting this design. I'll probably use a variation of Signs&Neons mount idea on the next one. Last edited by dalin; Wed Mar 30 2016 12:25 AM.
