How to build it
- Cut the rail to 24″ and sand off the factory markings.
- Bevel or round the top edge so dust doesn't collect on it.
- Mark four hook positions 6″ apart, 3″ in from each end.
- Stain or paint it, then screw on the hooks.
- Screw the rail into two studs with 3″ screws hidden behind the end hooks.
