I realize I should have asked about this months ago, but I have
been tasked with making clothing stands for small sized clothing. I
keep looking at the wooden hangers which came with my suit, but those
are full sized (naturally).
So I'm wondering if anyone has plans or ideas where plans could be
found. Full size or otherwise, I can scale.

No rush, I have till next Saturday to have them finished 8-)

pp.S., I picked up a book on model furniture making. Looking at one
of the pieces, I said "I want one of those", and scaled up. Well, not
the thickness, that scaled up to 1.5 inches thick for a shelf. Too
much.

If you think of a hanger as two pieces you'll get the basic idea: One at
a slight angle to hold the material and another in the center to hold the
first rod. Depending on your scale, you can use a lot of things for the
center: Fish hook earrings, fish hooks (file the barb and point off),
thin wire, etc.

As for the hangers themselves, just about any wood would work. I'd use
either balsa or basswood from the hobby shop, but good ol' pine would
work as well. Cut it thin and shave the pieces (or do it in reverse--
depends on you and your tools) until you get what you want. The hardest
part will be how to get the hook onto the hanger. (Most people won't
notice if you take a piece of copper wire and twist it around the outside
to attach the hook.)

Thanks. What I need is the shape.

What seems "simplest" is to make "halves" and fasten them
together.

It's all that curve and other stuff which has me frustrated. If I
had gotten to this sooner, I could have carved them out. But, like I
said "not perfect,Friday".

Saw it on "How they do it" made one cut for the shape then split the
blank in two halves, of course they had all the factory jigs. But
cutting the shape as a half both will be the same.
