ShopJimmy move update: This place is AWESOME! We are settling in nicely and accomplishing everything we set out to do.ShopJimmy new headquarters Burnsville MN massive mosaic wall art sculpture tree recycled recycling e-Waste "flat panel" "tv parts" broken lcd led plasma dlp tvs televisions

Last month, we challenged our artistic skills and free-handed a 12′ high x 16′ wide mosaic of a tree, made entirely of broken TV parts. None of us had ever made a wall mosaic before, nor had we sculpted using circuit boards, but that didn’t seem to worry us too much.

The idea was simple, but the scope was massive! We cut hundreds of TV circuit boards into thousands of tiny pieces to create pixelated leaves and curved branches. Because of the weight of some boards and the fragility of others, we had to use an industrial adhesive to secure all parts to the wall. This glue is so strong that you can’t remove a board once it has dried without pulling off a piece of the wall! Needless to say, we only had one shot at this, so we documented the whole process with hundreds of photographs. I am happy to say that the whole project went according to plan and was finished in just over 3 weeks!

We are getting really close to cutting the red ribbon and giving you all an official tour of our new, 290,000+ square foot headquarters in Burnsville, MN! Until then, I would like to give you a glimpse inside of our new office and share a video of this special project that I had the great fortune of working on this past month. Enjoy!

Our website search works best when you search by TV part number, but we know it can be tricky to find the right number amongst all of your TV’s boards, labels, components, and text.

To make this process a little easier, we’ve created a playlist of video tutorials to help you better understand TV parts and their part numbers. So, sit back, relax, grab some popcorn, and learn!

A couple months ago, we began the fun (and sometimes a little frustrating) process of designing and manufacturing our own universal TV stands. We think the two final products turned out awesome, and you guys proved that theory — they’re already on backorder!

If you’d rather watch a video than read product details (welcome to the club), check out these short clips we made for each TV stand.

…this might be taking our beloved game a little too far. While we’ve developed a new version of the game on conjoined conference tables (we call it “Long Pong”), the elimination of an opponent, table, fun, and ball seems odd to us. Check out the video below and let us know what you think!

Although this video is a touch long, if you’re really into LCD components and technology (like us!), Bill Hammack does a great job breaking down the intricacies of LCDs. Enjoy, techs!
