I have been making some new wall hangings for friends and family. They are not forged, just fabricated, and weight about 5 lbs. Now I am wanting to start mass production, but I cannot figure out how to most efficiently design it to mount to a wall. I have so far just put 2 screws in a wall and hung it on them, but people have complained that you can see the screws. I thought of just drilling a hole in the back and screwing a picture type loop hanger to the back, or soldering some loops to the back. Anyone know of some trick that is quick and easy to allow a hidden wal mount? I am trying to cut construction time to an absolute minimum to keep it at my price point. Thanks.

Pics would help,especially of the back.

Another thought, though it limits it to having to be attached to a stud is to use forged nails instead of screws. Hope it helps.

I do not have a pic handy, but it is made of railroad spikes welded together. I tried using a mig welder and welding a small wire loop to the back, but it either burnt up the loop or would not burn into the spike. I can attach something in an inconspicuous way at a weld. If nothing else, I will see if a copper wire wraped at a weld is pleasing to people. Does anyone have a source for something to weld on the back to accept a wall hook or nail? Thanks.

You can always tell them to use Liquid Nails, and just glue them to the wall :P

I make some crosses using a random cut twist. I just drill a hole in the back and angle it towards the top. You can then use a finish nail to hang it and it is not visable. I have also used a piece of hack saw blade with a hole mig welded to the back of some of my projects this will lay flat and can be hung on a nail.

I like your crosses. Those are the ideas I was wanting. Thinking of a recessed hole gave me an idea. I kept trying to add something, but making a hole would work. I do not think the bandsaw blade would work on it, but I will file that one away for the future.
