A question for all you wood workers

[PineRidge]

I need to find a source for the whatchamacallit hangers that can be flush mounted in wood (see picture). Can anyone direct me to a source? I have checked Restoration Hardware and carried the part into several local hardware stores with no success so far.

These look like they may foot the bill, where were they found?

After looking at your link I found them at Discount Supplies for Woodworkers, Framers, Artists and Crafters


THANKS, you guys are great!

I googled keyhole hangers and found this site:Discount Supplies for Woodworkers, Framers, Artists and Crafters

They seem to have a lot of that type of stuff.
Good luck.

I see you found them!
I'll bet there are a lot of other similar suppliers.

Woodworking Tools Supplies Hardware Plans Finishing - Rockler.com is another good source for woodworking supplies.

You could also just use a keyhole cutter. But if you're wanting this for the sign which you said will be taken down and put back up constantly, the wood may wear so a keyhole fitting will probably work better.

I have used Keyhole Fittings - Rockler Woodworking Tools with success in the past.

If this is for a restoration project some sheet brass, a drill press and a jeweler's saw would turn out a copy in a few minutes. Drill some starter holes for the "keyhole", saw it out then use a fly cutter to cut the exterior. You would need the beam type of fly cutter so you can set the bit to cut toward the inside since that is the face you want clean.
