Reply to comment by TheFishBanjo in Hanging 15 lbs child from a 1x6 over head. Which supports more downward force - screwing horizontally into the 1” edge, or vertically straight up into the 6” face? by Jolly-Performer

Thanks, my original thought was a bolt or two through the wall, but I didn't understand there's a header in there, so I thought it they would only be supported by drywall. I would blame that on sleep deprivation but I'm kind of an idiot fully rested as well.

I don't understand the part about 3/16 & 3/8 holes for 1/4" rod but I'm sure it will make sense after some thought and more learning.

Those just happen to be the drill bits I have.

If you get a single 1/4" drill bit 12" long, that will work.

I didn't want to drive to the store. Ha!
