All,
I'm fabricating a couple of decorative gifts for some friends and family. At their most basic element, they're just planks of wood that need to mount flat to a wall. They need to mount securely enough to withstand some tension (pulling force away from the wall) and some shear (pulling force down to the floor). Obviously, the simplest method is to just drive screws through the planks into the wall studs, but that would eliminate the decorative nature of them. I've got a similar item that was given as a gift to me by a buddy, and it's secured to the wall with a couple of strips of double sided tape. It works well, but removal will probably cause some significant damage to the paint and texture on the wall.
I did some browsing online and at Rockler for some off the shelf hangers that could be screwed to the wall, then mate to the pieces via key slots/t-slots (or similar). Think old school wall mounted telephone plates. I could probably fabricate something similar, given the necessary time, but Christmas is fast approaching. I have had zero luck finding something off the shelf.
Any recommendations?
