Instructions

Cut six pieces of wood dowel to the following lengths: three at 18 inches, two at 16 inches, and one at 10 inches.

Sand the cut ends of the dowels until they are smooth.

Mark the center point of each dowel with a pencil.

Drill a 1/4 inch hole in each dowel at the center point.

Take one of the 18-inch dowels and glue it to one of the 16-inch dowels at a 90-degree angle, so they form an L-shape.
