#French Cleat attachment
gray python
someone said i could use the off cut for the attachment part... but that doesn't seem correct
They are overwhelmingly too small
i confirmed with some people on here that i could do this
yes, I was here for that
was it you?
you didn't mention that your offcut would have no material past the angle
No, it was not
ah well i asked him how much i should shave off and he told me not to think so much
so basically i just need to make another 45* cut on a larger piece of material
do you think the cleat as a whole is f'd or just the offcut part?
would be awesome to be able to use these scrap pieces
I can't even see the cleat
you just rip strips 5-6" wide first, then you split those at a ~45
done
Not enough
well, maybe juuuust enough
this is the kind of stuff i'm wanting ot hang
5" stips that are split at 45 will leave about 2" flats to affix
rip means i have to go buy material
sucks bc i don't have a car (nyc)
so gotta lug everything
wish i didn't expose that gash also
ahh it was poet
i found the thread
good, maybe ping him
im willing to atleast try it if it means i can get rid of the scrap
if not obviously
will get the right stuff
so what standard board should i buy do you think?
do you like, read every 3rd message or what
i read every single message you send to me.
you told me 5" strips
which insinuates buying a larger board and cutting down to size
but lacking a table saw would be nice to have somethign standardized so i'm not ripping strips out
just buy a 1x6 and skip the ripping step
okay, hopefully I can track that down
I used to think that french cleats were the simplest method for hanging things but now I'm questioning why the universe hates me
what issues are you having with them?
me?
unsure what that means
well, that's lovely... thanks for the response
