A woodworker’s guide to installing keyhole hangers. They aren’t hard.

Lol, yeah I know this is sort of a random, really particular video topic, but I have a lot of these things to set up and believed this tutorial may be handy to someone! This is just a fast guide showing how to install keyhole photo wall mounts.

  1. Awesome! Great video, i wasnt aware of these.

    It might be more difficult, but couldnt you use two (or more) on a long horizontal piece? Yould just have measure accurately. Mounting on the wall would be similar to mounting a power strip. You could use the same “blue tape” technique to achieve accuracy.

  2. Another great video, Steve! Simple, easy to follow instructions! You make me want to try wood burning!

  3. Excellent work, Steve! Thanks a bunch for all the tips! 😊
    Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

  4. Nice- but okay, I’ll be ‘that guy’ here 🤪 … you went to the trouble of setting up for multiples to get the first hole but not for the deeper cut. Yes you kept center, but instead of moving ❤fence for 2-3 cuts set the fence up to drill out the bottom and then use 1-2 spacers against the fence to bring the workpiece out to drill out the center and the top.
    I’m sure you know that but a newbie here might not, so just thought I’d mention it.

    1. Depends, it only moves about 1/8″. So if you don’t have that think of a space. The fence also needs to move both directions. Assuming you move the fence first and then add 1 spacer, and then a 2nd. You still have to move the fence. With this method you move the fence twice, with yours once. So it really doesn’t matter much

    2. @SatanLovesYou723well the point is if one is making multiples of these then moving the fence once and using spacers would be the lean and more accurate way to go. If I just had 2-3 I might just move the fence and drill all three between moves. Twenty of them? I’m moving the fence once and using spacers.

  5. Those flush hangers are great in a large area, but not so good in a tight space.
    We’ve got a tiny downstairs loo (I’m British, we have small homes), and I was forever knocking our comical/arty “loo art” off the wall.
    This is quirky art print stuff that you may put in a WC – at least here in the United Kingdom. I’m sure Americans have their own version.
    But heck, you folk tend to have WAY bigger houses!

  6. Great video man I’m in a big fan for a long time I didn’t used to comment much because I didn’t want to be that guy what’s since I’ve been growing my own YouTube channel I realized how important it is can’t wait for the next one

  7. I use your method but I use my dremel tool with a rounded bit bit works perfectly. I just remove enough material for the screw head to clear
