The brackets are made any desired shape, with a hole a half-inch in diameter bored in the centre of each piece. A slit is cut in one bracket from the hole to the top for the end of the rod to slip in and out. Round the piece (1-1/4" × 1-3/4" × 24") for the rod. At each end cut a tenon one inch in diameter. Nail the end pieces to the board (3/4" × 5" × 24"). Insert the rod into the hole in the one end piece and slip it into the slit at the other end. Sandpaper, stain, and polish.
