Read through the archives and see where this issue raised but never fully answered.
My shelves [painted solid poplar] will be 1.5" thick, 6.5" deep, and up to 102" long ... a maximum weight of 15 lbs each before another 15 lbs maximum will be displayed atop.
The ideal hardware would be 1.25" diam round keyhole hangers, the pockets for which would be done w Forstner. But can't find them.
Alternatively, upright keyholes on a horizontal strap would work ... as a member asked many years ago ... he couldn't find them then and neither can I now.
I want them to "suck up" to the wall, so "proud" hangers are out.
I could rout the keyholes in the wood, but I think there would be too great a risk of them blowing out [plus be a lot of work].
Is my only recourse to make them from strap stock and a Dremel?
