The project

I am renovating my grandson's bedroom. I have painted the room and am just waiting for plantation shutters for the window and a room air conditioner. In the meantime, I have made a coat hook that looks similar to piano keys because he likes music and plays a piano. The coat hook will be mounted to the wall in the bedroom.

I made them all the same size as real piano keys. I would only hang light clothing on it. I used 19mm DAR Pine for the keys, and 19mm Tasmanian Oak for the frame. I used 6mm rod to assemble the keys together.

I spray painted the keys individually, before assembly.

Another one that I love, tho this one I like a little more. Very stylish and classy. How did you come up with the idea? And are you using it?

@Dave-1  I got the idea from the internet, lots of ideas available, it was installed in another bedroom and was used,  however, I didn’t want to risk it taking a heavier weight, now it’s been relocated to another bedroom, currently being re painted, I will post this project soon, that’s where I have installed another more heavy duty coat hook.
