Pedestal DYI help

[Recon$$]

Like is says, looking to do a DYI pedestal mount for my Kudu pictured below. As you can see it's a little more then a shoulder mount. My biggest concern is finding a good bracket to build into the pedestal to support the mount, he's not light. Anyone have experience in a similar endeavor? New house has limited space and I think this will be the best option.

Yea looks like best thing for the bracket is to get creative or just weld one to your specs yourself.

Turned out just making a pedestal was the best option. Late response but following through.

I like that, I will be in the same situation once I complete the new house. I was thinking something like a TV mount fastened to a end table/cabinet would maximize my square footage and allow me to position/reposition it.
