gun alright, but not the larger sized ones.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-209\"

my first attempt. it was not very sturdy and had no bottom plate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-208\"

version and also rounded the front edges. i added small hooks on the back to hook into the wall, however they broke off because they were too flimsy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-207\" src=\"https:\/\/fabplay.hawken.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20161111_151333-e1486570123715.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the next version i strengthened the hooks by gluing more hooks onto the sides. this had the problem of being too short and once the glue guns were placed in it while on the wall they would get glue on the wall.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-205\" src=\"https:\/\/fabplay.hawken.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20161121_083611.jpg\" alt=\"\"

so that it would not touch the wall and added a piece in the back to make sure the wall would be fine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-204\"

attached to make it more structurally sound and then i was satisfied with the product.<\/p>\n<p>you can download the file here.\u00a0<a
