courtym74 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Did up this hanger for a friend's son. 1/2 inch birch ply. 19 inches tall. I added another strip to the back of the areas where the medals will hang just to make sure it doesn't sag over time. Used a French cleat setup for mounting. Glued and screwed that in for reinforcement. Having it bumped out like that also had the unintended benefit of making it easier to hang the medals without having to take the whole thing down to add another one. heppnerguy, Charlie E, FrankEV and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don in brooklin on Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 That is a really cool idea. I have made a lot of ribbon racks for various sports and this is a great. I have always used dowels or shaker pegs but this looks a lot easier.(and cheaper) Never thought of French cleat might have to steal the idea. Thanks for posting- Well done. courtym74 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Mighty fine cutting. Never into wrestling, but in high school, I did wrestle a state champion. He was 20 pounds lighter than me. Of course I got pinned. heppnerguy and courtym74 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie E Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Very nice! I’ve made lots of running medal hangers using mug hooks. Yours is way cooler! heppnerguy and courtym74 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtym74 Posted March 28 Author Report Share Posted March 28 Thanks all for the kind words. Denny a friend of mine was a state wrestler in high school as well. He hated when we would square up because even though we weighed the same I was about a foot taller and was used to wrestling my 60 pound heavier (all muscle) five year older than me brother. He never could tie me up. Would always say "Damn it's like trying to wrestle wet spaghetti with how long your arms and legs are."
