• Cut and glue pine to make a 6” x 6” x 3” square. Important for safety: securely screw the square to a larger thick piece of plywood and clamp to a drill press.
• Mark the centre of the square and use a 5” hole saw to remove the outer part of the collar. Next, drill a 3” hole with the hole saw for the centre of the collar. Remove the collar from the plywood and sand smooth.
• Drill a 1/16” hole, 1/2” deep and 3/8” from the edge of the collar. Put one end of the wire in the hole and make a sharp 90° bend. Wrap the wire around the collar keeping the laps straight and tight. After several laps, wear protective gloves to apply enough solder to join 2 strands of wire on the side where you started. Continue wrapping and soldering until the collar is covered. Finish with drilling a hole to insert the wire end into the collar. (Note: keep all the solder marks in a vertical line, turned to the back out of view.)

• Put dowels through the copper collar and distribute the legs to determine the height you would like the rack. Mark dowels and cut to length. Height shown is 7’.
• Install the copper pipe. It may require additional reaming to get them in place. If any of the copper pipes are loose, slip a shim in the bottom of the pipe.
• Sand legs with 400 grit sandpaper and apply finishing oil.
• Put the 3 dowels together and put 5 to 6 wraps of electrical tape at the desired height of the ring. Hold the ring over the tape and spread the legs to lock in place.
