What you need:
-3/8″ Bendable tubing – aluminum, copper, etc.
–Tube cutter
-Brass paint
-White paint
-1.5″ square dowel
-Table saw
-Glue
How to make it:
-Cut a 6″ piece of the dowel.
-Measure to the center of the dowel and then mark out 3/16″ from each side of the center mark.
-Lower your table saw blade so it will only cut about 3/8″ deep in the wood.
-Cut out the marked center section – you will need to do two or three cuts to make a space wide enough for the tube. Make sure that the tube fits tightly in the space.
-Paint the wooden block. Set aside to dry.
-Bend your tube around a bowl or other sturdy round object.
-Use tube cutter to cut extra length on ends if desired. *Bend first though!
-Paint tubing with the brass paint. Let dry.
-Use a strong glue to secure tubing to wood block and let dry.
