This is an easy project you can knock out in an afternoon and have some cool cheep storage for fishing poles and other long stock.
I had a left over length of PVC pipe from building my ground level deck. I ran the PVC under the deck to re-rout the drainage from my down spout.
Simply make your self a template with some card board. I found the thin stuff they make boxes out of which contain Chinese car parts work best. So, I went down the block to talk to the fella that owns a fiberglass and billet 32 Ford...
I traced out the shape I was after for a set of brackets to hold my fishing pole.
I then had a beer
Next I transfered the template to the PVC pipe holding the template on with one hand and tracing with the other
I was not quite where I needed to be at this point in the project so I repeated step 3
Emboldened I got out my super clearance jig saw that I picked up for $5.00!
I also got out the court I use to power the thing which Radio Shack charged me roughly $30.00 for...
I drilled out some starter holes..
Then proceeded to cut out most of the first bracket. This is were my super clearance jig died...
I finished the first and second brackets with a hand held hack saw with one of those little handles on it. You can see the cut out bracket in this photo. The hack saw is on my bench in the back ground.
Drilled the mounting holes
Primered them
Painted them "aluminum" and mounted with sheet rock screws
Insert fishing pole
Feeling self satisfied, I repeated step 3.
