How to Hang Pictures on Tin Walls | Engels Coach Shop

[@Mopar46]

The old time, tried and true, picture rail. Well done.

[@patrickcolahan7499]

Here is a thought, instead of allowing the consignees to use screws or nails, provide hooks that clip over the top of the boards. Much like the old picture rail hooks that were used in Victorian homes to hang pictures from and prevent holes from being put into the plaster walls. This would allow more flexibility as displays and consignees change, reduce maintenance (replacing of boards, filling nail holes and breakout from screws) and the potential of damaging the wall behind the boards. Museum is taking shape, really looks good. Thanks very much for sharing.

[@davidchisham]

You have turned this into a very nice place. Thanks for the video.

[@orvillevoyles9451]

That's a clever but simple idea and it looks good

[@tomwhelan9872]

Looks great Dave. Once again you prove the adage , necessity is the mother of invention. You need something, you figure it out. Nice and clean.

[@lancekincaid5610]

I love your videos, Thank you for bringing them to us. I've been watching you since the Borax Wagons. I Don't miss twice a week !!!! I hope I can see you for a long time ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Making the Hometown a better place. Thanks Dave. God Bless you and Mrs. Engels.

[@glencrandall7051]

Looking. Wish I could visit but I'm in Florida. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@nealkrueger6097]

Old fashioned picture rail like the lath and plaster walls used in the homes , before sheet rock became common place. Well done, sir!! Simple ,yet elegant and matiins, an overall simple rustic aesthetic.

[@TrikeRoadPoet]

Each problem is a solution as yet unconsidered and solved. Going to make the trip to Joliet this coming summer (2025) to visit and see the museum from Minnesota. Love the channel, learned so much and hope to learn more!

[@josephkerley363]

Looking good! Nice idea for hanging stuff and preserving the walls.

[@danbreyfogle8486]

Let your vendors know that the 3M Command hooks work very well. They do not damage the wall and can be removed by pulling the removable adhesive strip off. We use them in our store and they really work well and have never damaged our walls.

[@richardthornhill4630]

Completions of projects are always more satisfying.

[@2pugman]

How many people are there in town to support a store ?

[@markat9576]

@@2pugman He is located right outside Yellowstone National Park. I’d imagine he will get a fair amount of tourist traffic in season.

[@dianeengel4155]

There are about 600 in Joliet. We do have traffic coming through.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

The board spacers will also allow you to run feather dusters behind the boards to knock down the inevitable spider webs and eggs.

[@mfreund15448]

Happy Tuesday Dave and Diane!!

[@thisolesignguy2733]

that's a much better idea then I would've come up with. I was thinking double sided tape, and french cleats for heavier things. but that looks great!

[@stuartstephens]

Assuming the panels are steel, my first thought was some of those high strength magnets that are readily available these days. Either individual magnets with hooks on them to hang pictures, or several magnets fastened to one of your 5/8 boards to hold the board in place.

[@inspector1794]

The cedar does a good job of breaking up that great expanse of white. The tin walls should be great for magnets too. Looking good.

[@paulkelly1702]

I cannot wait to see how it turns out.

[@craigpadley3535]

Beautifully Done Dave.

[@r1mein54]

For a moment I thought you were going to install "plate rail" - great idea you did here.

[@henkpoelakker516]

Are magnets a possibility

[@gutsngorrrr]

You beat me to it...

[@boelensds]

Would say yes.

[@blacksquirrel4008]

Might scratch it up over time but a lot more flexible for the tenant’s hangings, too.

[@daveduncan9005]

It's unfortunate Dave didn't ask for suggestions from the Ether-world. In my opinion, the correct system to use, in this case and as others have noted, would be a Victorian-style picture rail with rail hooks. It's a very versatile solution and doesn't cause any damage to the tin.

[@katherineschelp520]

I was going to write the same answer.

[@bboomer7th]

It’s still used in shops and homes. Modern versions are available, but can be pricey. For my ‘20’s house I bent some old brazing rod for the hangers to hook on to. Bulletproof and no holes in the plaster. Carry on, I enjoy your videos.

[@davidgomez5052]

I would try earth magnets . Hot glued to the pictures.

[@chuckbade4486]

Use 3M Command Strips. They hold a reasonable amount of weight and come off clean. No holes. I use them every Christmas to hang stuff around the house.

[@katherineschelp520]

They work good as long as the paint holds onto the wall. I used them to hold up a small cork board. The command hook held but the paint underneath let go.

[@tomswindler64]

Very nice,coming right along.keep on doing what you do best.😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@pauls4708]

those "stick on" hooks are very good would be a good match for tin

[@daniellarrivee-ic3lg]

Thanks to you Mr. Engel !!!!!!!

[@leoncarder6279]

Looking good, great idea. Keep up the good work.

[@billschmitzer9159]

Good idea with the boards.

[@michaelbissen1946]

Looking really sharp !!

[@shrumittofarmer439]

Looks really nice!!

[@barryolson3998]

That looks really good!

[@ferguscosgrave7510]

Comeing on nicely

[@workshop719]

Coming along nicely. Would be cool if you cut and bent up a big batch of double hooks to hang on those rails. Not like you need another project though.

[@montieavery1342]

NICE TOUCH

[@hawkinscsa]

That should take care of it! 👍🏻

[@465maltbie]

Great looking solution, thanks for sharing. Charles

[@waylandforge8704]

I can see the merit in your idea however people being people I probably would have waited until people set up their displays etc before fixing anything to the wall. Love your work

[@johnbozzelli8867]

great idea

[@bigredc222]

Very good.

[@barrybautista4781]

Could use picture hooks that hook over the top of the board as on a picture rail no nails or screws needed.

[@michaelpeters7044]

How about putting a header/ crown molding on top of the wall for another option to hang stuff off of too.

[@Vikingwerk]

2:00 Dave, you’re also a blacksmith! There is a dandy gap between the ribs; just begging for you to make up a gross of simple S type hooks that can hook over that wood rail between the tin ribs, and provide a hook to hang artwork on!

[@bobuncle6962]

I would suggest 3M removable hooks but yours looks nicer!

[@gutsngorrrr]

You could also put up a picture rail and actually use it for its intended purpose. Also as someone else has recommended, use magnets and magnetic sheets etc.

[@ronboe6325]

Might have to provide "approved" fasteners for vendor use to prevent over sized nails/screws from being used. Not sure if you considered a picture rail, used in museums and older homes from which pictures and photos were hung from. Could be a clean solution for hanging things in your case.

[@davidclodfelter7147]

You've probably already considered icebox magnets for small signs, right!

[@gordbaker896]

Were you able to hold up the board and give it a few hammer blows to locate the screw holes on the panelling?

[@lesahanners5057]

Looks like you are making Victorian Picture Rail, Western style. Pictures in those days hung from hooks suspended with wire. The ceilings were high and the walls lathe and plaster. This didn't make for a good nailing surface, thus the picture rail. I inherited a few of the old hooks, which are pretty ornate. I hope your idea works out and no one splits your boards when they try to put nails in as cedar is rather notorious for splitting. It sure looks good and the fragrance of that cedar should discourage bugs. 😊

[@keithbrowning3899]

If you put your own hooks on the wood they wont have to drill anything. If they drill themselves you are going to get holes in the tin.

[@BobPfohl]

Just a whisker away from making a French cleat… which would give you the flexibility to hang anything you want, anywhere along the cleat without more nails or screws.

[@donaldyoungberg9033]

Do have to ask how much issue do you think noise will be with all the metal rebounding sounds in the room? Noticed it when you talking how the acoustics might make it loud in there.

[@boelensds]

neodymium magnets with hooks or large flat behind te boards. for steel boards ad 1 to each corner and it will stick. loads of strenght and not visible.

[@mainesail3097]

I think you'll find that there is much greater demand for varied and multiple places to attach-whatever-to the wall than you anticipate---including a wider variety of location height options etc. Go look at some antique group shops

[@PhilJames-ur1ec]

Could you chalk the heads of the existing screws, hold the board up & transfer the chalk.

[@wayneschenet5340]

Construction adhesive would hold the boards

[@jimthesoundman8641]

Why not just do it like they did in the 1890's and do crown molding that has a gap built into it, and you could use hooks and chain to hook onto the crown molding and hang things at any height. Non-destructive to the walls, infinitely adjustable both left-right and up-down. Plus it's cheap, once you have the crown molding installed.

[@waltweaver7297]

Double side sticky tape, no hopes no problem

[@KS-cp6bj]

Someone will use a 3 inch screw.

[@alhart6126]

Give them the right screws at check in or lease time..or have requurements in the lease document.😊

[@tuxbanjo]

Looks good. Picture hanging systems are seriously over priced. Probably not an affordable option. You seriously need some sound absorbing material in there.

[@vincent6643]

Would a picture rail not be better ? Fastenedat the top of the metal panels . More flexible

[@HongyaMa]

Magnetic wall hangers? Letters?

[@paulhylton9503]

Don’t over think life it’s too short

[@robhawthorne6892]

How about a magnetic hook..?

[@nathanhawkins4108]

Better method, maybe to use the board and make a hook system to hook over the top of it kind of like the picture frame Moulden in the Victorian homes

[@jeffhovey1810]

I use a level

[@dalegosnell2511]

3M command

[@John-sc9zz]

Why not use picture mold

[@Tammy-un3ql]

👌👌👍👍👍👍

[@jill-ti7oe]

👍

[@larryfedewa9636]

Why not wait to see each customers needs and customise a solution using the existing screw holes? You wouldn't have all that ugly wood showing.
