Materials

  • 1’’ x 4’’ lumber (Length of your choice)

  • extra wide wooden cloths pins, link in picture caption

  • Industrial glue

  • stain and finish of your choice (optional)

Tools

  • Drill

  • 1/8’’ drill bit or as appropriate for your mounting hardware (I used #8 screws)

  • sandpaper (80-220 grit by choice for finish)

  • countersink bit (optional)

BUILD

1.       Cut a 1’’ x 4’’ piece of lumber to 36’’ (or adjust to sizing of your choosing)

2.       Pre-drill and countersink mounting holes on both ends of the board, in the middle, approximately 1’’ from the edge.

3.       Glue 8 large wooden clothes pins at regular intervals, across the board.

Mark the center with a line to ensure consistency. I used an industrial strength hot glue gun, but other glue options should be strong enough, heavy items should not be hung from the pegs.

4.       Sand any rough edges and remove markings.

5.       Apply a stain and finish according to your preference.
