If I understand your design correctly, you cut the 6" x 18" sheet to make a pair of 3 x 18" brackets.

Steve -
The cut is in the other direction - each piece was approximately 6"x9". The pieces weren't necessarily identical, though. Be sure that you make rough patterns out of heavy paper or light cardboard before you commit yourself.
I don't recall the gauge, but Home Depot had only one thickness in the bin, so I bought it. This morning, I put a mic on a scrap of it, and it came up 0.056" which looks like 16 gauge. This is a pretty heavy gauge to deal with if you don't have a bending brake (I don't), and a lighter gauge would make bending easier.
I went back and attached a sketch to my previous post, to show an edge view of the whole thing. You can see how the two bracket halves fit into each other easily, and come apart easily.
Also, I just noticed that if you don't have a hanging cabinet, you could hang the TV over the bathroom wall above the sink.
