I’d like to make some shelves that attach directly to studs in the wall, but I’d like to not have any screws or nails showing in the piece, if possible. That would seem to require some kind of “hanging” mechanism (where there’s a hook mounted on the wall, and the piece hangs from the hook), but I don’t know how to go about designing something along those lines, especially since I’d want the piece to be flush with the wall and, ideally, fairly immobile. Not because I expect the shelves to take a lot of load, just because it’d seem sloppy otherwise. Does anyone have any advice? The only idea I’ve had so far would be to route out a slot in the edge of a board, then glue in a thin strip over most of the slot, which would create an area that could be hooked into. I still don’t know how the hook itself would work though. |
