Towel Bar with Glass Shelf

Projects that serve to beautify the kitchen and bath have traditionally been among our most popular pieces. An attractive wooden towel bar enhances and adds a measure of warmth to the bathroom, and the glass shelf provides handy storage for shampoo, soap, or what have you.

All the wooden components of the project may be cut from a 1 in. x 6 in. x 20'in. board, as shown in the cutting diagram. We used pine, however any wood will work as well.

Begin by cutting out the various parts, A through D. Refer to the grid pattern and use the band or saber saw to shape the curved brackets (B and C). Notch both the lower hrackets and the towel bar (D) to a depth of V* in. as illustrated, so they fit neatly together. Use the router with a '/« in. straight bit to cut the ^lA in. wide by '/< in. deep sheif grooves in the upper brackets.

Chamfer the edges of the mounts (A) and generously round the brackets and bar. Use two screws to fasten each bracket to the mount, countersunk so the heads are flush, and a single brass ova) head screw (also countersunk) at either end of the towel bar.

We used Minwax Colonial Maple stain followed by an application of Watco penetrating oil to finish the project. The unit is mounted to the wall through four screw holes. Remember to use screw anchors when fastening into sheet-rock or drywall. W\J
