The Construction Steps For The Homemade Towel Rack

• You will require making a weathering solution, and this solution must be made at least 24 hours before using it. You will have to mix fine steel wool with some amount of ACV. After a while, the steel will dissolve in Vinegar, leaving behind the Wool.

• You will require cutting the Dowel Rods in lengths of 5-16 inches and two other rods in the length of 6 feet.

• At the next step, you will require sanding the wool that you can either do manually or using the electric-driven Hand sander.

• Now you have to mark the holes, and you can start marking the first hole at the height of 2.5 inches from the bottom, and the other holes should appear with a spacing of 13.5 inches from the center. The alignments must be correctly marked on both sides.

• Apply light sanding on the holes, to smooth its rough edges.

• The edges of the rungs are to be sanded down to ensure that they perfectly fit in the holes.

• On one side of the rungs, apply wood glue, and you will have to position the levels in it. Repeat the same step for the other side.

• You will now have to attach the clamps, and you must leave it for at least 2 hours to ensure complete drying.

• Strongly brew the tea and apply it on the ladder with the help of the painting brush. Tannins will come out of the, and it will make way for the oxidation from the steel wool/vinegar. Ideally, you should apply two coatings and allow ample time in between using the coats to dry completely.

• Apply the weathering solution, and you will see that the Wood has started to grow darker, the moment you apply the solution to the wood surface. This solution will weather the Wood within an hour. Thus, you can escape the commercial weathering solution that involves hazardous elements and often trigger devastating effects on your health.
