Small Hook for Hanging a Picture
After an unsuccessful attempt to hang a small picture with a common pin, I devised the following method: After bending about ³⁄₈ in. of the point on an ordinary pin to an angle of about 45 deg. and bending up the other end in the opposite direction to form a hook, I drove the point on a downward slant into the wall. It went in easily and did not mar the plaster. When making a test I found that the hook would readily support a weight of several pounds.—Contributed by C. P. Smith, E. Radford, Va.
