Hey all, Wife has a big antique cuckoo clock that she would like hung "right there" on the drywall. This thing must weigh 30 pounds, plus every day someone has to pull on the chains to wind it up and

I wouldn't trust just a single drywall anchor. I'd probably make a mounting plate, maybe a square foot or so of some sturdy wood and attach to the wall at the four corners. Then attach the clock to t

Molly bolt is probably the best for hanging things onto drywall, if you can't anchor it. Far superior than toggle bolts or screw in anchors. Suggestion: predrill and liberally coat the sides of the h

Randall, I would make a nice "back plate" that was bolted to the two nearest studs and mount the clock to that. Maybe something out of 3/4 plywood that you finish with matching veneer, or a few piece

You do realize that once you get this thing "right" where she wants it, she will decide she would rather have it over "there", right? :o) Been there, done that . . . nature of the beast. Patricia ___

Yes, of course. In fact, it was previously mounted over a stud, but the Feng Shui wasn't right or something <G> (Actually, it probably was too close to an outside door for comfort.) Thanks to all fo

I am probably stating the obvious, but if you lift the weight with one hand while pulling the chain with the other, it is a lot easier on both the clock mechanism and whatever is holding the clock to

Something that "valuable", I'd cut the sheetrock out between two studs, add some plywood (1/8 - 1/16th thinner than the rock), anchored directly into the studs, then skim over the plywood with real p

I always use glue when screwing into wood. The threads cut up and compress the wood fibers. The glue soaks in and "fixes" the hole. This is especially useful with particle board/MDF book shelves (and

The 'expert' told my wife not to do that, as it could allow the chains to come off the sprockets inside the clock. I think she even derailed a chain, by trying to wind it without the weight on the e

OK, well, I'm no expert. It just feels like I'm being gentler on the parts by supporting the weight. I can see his point, though. -Steve _______________________________________________ Support Team.N
