hanging pictures
« on: August 10, 2007, 09:55:06 am »
I know this has been addressed on the forums before, but my search-fu is terrible today. 
I'm looking for the thread with picture hanging tips.  Anybody bookmark it or have better search-fu than this old man?
While not exactly woodworking, it seems like this is where it would have been (or moved to).  Or maybe everything else.  Or project announcements.  Or ???
Thanks in advance.

Odds are a topic on hanging pictures probably devolved to a state worthy of post hell, thus why you can't find it.

If you have a question, go ahead and ask it here.

Not really a question, I just recall it having various methods people have done with a couple handslap on the forehead methods that I don't recall.

My wife recently had two 24x36 posters framed in big freakin heavy nice frames that I have to hang.  Goal is to have them not fall down, not look loke a moron hung them, and not be extremely difficult.  Bonus if I can later move the picture and be able to touch up where it was at (not that a woman would ever change her mind on where a picture should go).

Family Handyman had an article on it a couple months back (website search ends with 2005) so I need to flip through that as well.

As usual, I'll spend 5x the time researching something that it will take me to do it.

Nov 2006 Family Handyman had their picture hanging hints.  Both pictures are now well hung.  And more importantly, the Mrs is happy.
