    Question timber angle brackets (90 degrees)

    Has anyone out there got any tips on making timber angle brackets out of scrap that I can fix to a brick wall to hold a cupboard that I want to keep raised off the ground. The dimensions of the cupboard are 1500mm high x 600mm wide x 400mm deep.
    Thanks

    If the cupboard is strong enough you don't need angle brackets for something like this.
    Just bolt two strips of wood to the wall above and below where you want the cupboard to be on the wall and attach the cupboard to the strips.

    Try Google imaging "french cleat" to get the idea.

    Make sure the cupboard is strong enough to be hung on wall. The bottom may need additional fastening to the sides and back. Make sure the cleat on the back is attached to the sides or if strong enough the back.
