The last two weeks have been challenging at best. Among the tasks was hanging new drapes in the media room. My wife ordered what appeared to be fairly robust supports and rods which after installation turned out to be totally inadequate. It took so many support brackets to hold up the rods that it would have been impossible to move the drapes from side to side. Without the brackets the rods were too flimsy and sagged. The solution was to make our own support brackets out of black walnut which is what the rest of the room is being constructed of and for rods I used two 8’ heavy walled brass closet rods which are heavy but never going to sag. Now it’s back to the liquor cabinet.

Nicely Done!

 

I hate hanging curtains!!

Looks like you figured it out. Was at my licquor  cabinet this morning. Cleaning and putting things up. No fun putting bottles up, rather take them out.....

 

So your working on a liquor cabinet or just  working on  pulling bottles out?

I went this route as well. Much easier and you know it will hold up a long time. Gave a house flipper friend a ton if old curtain rods.

The boss needed some drape holders made using some decorative brackets she found but they turned out to be impossible to mount without making some escutcheons.

All finished. Now back to the projects at hand.
