Hanging your work


Recommended Posts

hobby lobby sells some really small screws in packages with wood stuff. i use them on 1/8" stuff and saw tooth hangers

Now that's a problem i never found a good answer to till now from you Gator.I've been using 2 part epoxy glue  as it sets up in seconds or minutes depending how hot you make it,Never had any complaints yet.But glue and screws i'd feel better about it.

Get a small jewelers screwdriver set also! Otherwise you will get frustrated trying to use the screws!

 

Also if nailing drive the nails at an up angle so the weight makes them tighter. Use a very fine needle nose plier to help you start them! I took one to the grinder and narrowed the front to an actual point to use for some of these kinds of uses.

 

When making thicker things; I use a keyhole bit on the router to make a hanging hole, or sometimes a drill bit angled to go up to tighten with the weight of the object!

Try the Velcro strips. One on the back of your project and the other on the wall, they are easy to remove and leave no marks on the wall. I believe the ones I have were made by 3M. I do all portrait scrolling and have no problem holding a picture and frame on the wall and that's quite a bit of weight.  Mike

The velcro hanging strips that mikewix mentioned are nice for odd shapes like the horse. Things like that can have an odd center of gravity and hang crooked from other hangers. they work really well for light pieces and are great for hanging things when you don't want to damage the walls, or change out pieces frequently.

I sometimes use D-Hooks. I have a bunch of comand hooks on my office walls and change out different projects when ever I want a change. The d-hooks are a little easier to quickly change. (not that saw tooth hangers take a lot of time)

I often use epoxy to attach hangers to pieces, although I like the little screws better.
