I posted a pic of how I do the hook hangers in a thread a while back called "wood bomber".

Here's the link to the pic.

Not saying this is the correct or only way to do it, there may be others on the site with a better way. I started through wiring using swivels and grommets but wanted to try something different. The belly loops are pretty easy to figure out. I first make a few wraps of stainless around the end of my center punch (anything with the right diameter will work). I trim the tag end ans put it in thi hole, this shows me where I need to fold the wire back. Put the first loop twisted back on the punch and do my last wraps. I tried holding the loop in the vice and pulling on the punch to see if I could unwrap it, I couldn't do it. I also filled the holes with epoxy which I think really firms everything up.

Hope this helps.
