1. Choose your piece of wood (example uses 1”x8”x24” piece). Finish it with stain, paint or leave natural for a reclaimed look.
2. Measure and mark where the mason jars will be mounted. Measurements may vary depending on the size of wood. For the above side, screw holes were marked 6” apart and 2˝” from top of board.
3. Pre-drill the wood on the marks to make attaching clamps to wood easier.
4. Here’s the tricky part: count 22-24 “slots” in from the end of the steel clamp. This will position the joint to the side, but give you enough room to tighten as needed. Then drill a hole in this slot large enough for the screw to fit through, but small enough for the head of the screw to hold securely. The drill bit will want to slip off of the steel so you will need to put some “elbow grease” into it or use a drill press if you have one.
5. Screw the open clamp to the board putting screw through hole and lining up with predrilled hole in wood. You should be able to tighten by hand with a screwdriver.
6. Put the mason jars in clamps, with the clamp around the narrowest part of the neck and tighten until secure.
7. Next assemble the towel hooks by connecting the black pipe end cap to a ˝” threaded pipe close, and a ˝” threaded pipe close to each end of the 90 ° ˝” pipe elbow. Wait to attach to the ˝” black pipe flange.
8. Place the flange at desired location on the board and mark the holes for each screw and remove flange. Pre-drill the holes before placing the flange back in place. Screw the flange in place using screwdriver or drill. Next, twist the pipe “hook” (made in step 7) into each flange to create towel hooks.
9. Add additional items such as Transform Mason pump insert kits for soaps and lotions or Transform Mason frog jar lid insert to keep toothbrushes clean and organized. Use the remaining mason jars to store toothpaste, q-tips, cotton balls, or turn it into a night light. The possibilities are endless!
