How to hang a huge hash plate on the wall

Recommended Posts

I helped one of my friends make a hanger for his huge Ohio hash plate.  I guestimate it weights 15 pounds.  I learned this technique from Harry Pristis, and only slightly modified it from what he posted.

 

I used two steel rods from Lowes, and two turnbuckles from Home Depot.  The materials cost was about $10.


I used a wire bending jig to create two W-shaped "hangers" as shown.

 

This jig was one like this; costs about $5.

I bent the end of the hangers over to hook onto the plate.

 

I used two turnbuckles to attach the rods together- and screwed them tight.  I probably could have used wire, but wanted to be sure it would never fall.

I like it, gonna look great on the wall!

That was a great idea my friend @aplomado! Congratulations, you used a lot of creativity, and I realized that there is total security! I'll try to do this with some large specimens I have here. :D Thanks for sharing!

Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question!
