I designed these hooks to hold a prop keyblade from the Kingdom Hearts video game series. The inner radius of the hook is slightly larger than 1".

Materials

1/2" plywood

Thicker material will not work because the through hole would be too wide, and thinner material makes it difficult to mount on the wall.

Instructions

This design is sized for 1/2" plywood, which is actually 15/32" First, cut out a hook. This is a simple shape, but you will need a zero-offset finishing pass to get the dogbone corners. Second, cut out a heart. On steps 1 & 2, do a test fit with the hook to make sure it's a good fit. My final offset was -0.005". (Negative offset cuts the hole & pockets slightly larger.) 1. Cut the through hole in the center of the heart 2. Cut the pockets next to the through hole to a depth of 15/64" 3. Cut the keyhole. Check out my technique for keyholes here. (TODO: publish technique) 4. Finally, cut out the heart. I did my finishing pass with a 1/8" bit to get sharper corners. Finish it up with sanding, glue, and paint/finish!
