SUPPLIES

-DECORATIVE FITTING, 22-DEGREE ANGLE
-MOUNTING AND END-CAP BRACKETS FOR RAILING
-WOODEN KORBELS

TOOLS
-HACKSAW
-TUBE CUTTER
-TAPE MEASURE

-HAND HELD BATTERY POWERED DRILL

INSTALLATION
THE FIRST THING WE WILL HAVE TO DO IS LOCATE THE STUDS ON THE WALL UNDERNEATH THE BAR TO INSTALL THE BRACKETS. WE WILL USE AN ELECTRONIC STUD FINDER BUT MAY EVEN USE THE OLD TAP IN NAIL METHOD FOR ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW YOU CAN FIND A STUD.

ONCE THE STUDS ARE LOCATED, WE WILL MARK FOR PILOT HOLES AND DRILL THE HOLES THAT WE WILL NEED TO MOUNT THE BRACKETS.
MOUNTING THE BRACKETS WILL REQUIRE A DRILL OR SCREWDRIVER.

ONCE THE MOUNTING BRACKETS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED WE WILL CUT OUR FIRST TUBE OF BRASS RAILING.

MEASURE TO LENGTH FOR TUBE RAILING. USE A HACKSAW OR A TUBE CUTTER TO CUT THE TUBE TO LENGTH

THEN SLIDE THE FIRST LEG OF BRASS RAIL TUBING INTO PLACE.

THEN INSTALL DECORATIVE FITTINGS PRE-CAST AT A 22-DEGREE ANGLE IN ORDER TO CUT THE CORNER OF THE BAR WITH THE BRASS RAIL.

THEN CUT THE NEXT TUBE AND INSTALL IT.

AFTER ALL OF THE BRASS RAILS ARE IN AND MOUNTED, INSTALL THE END CAPS TO FINISH OFF THE ENDS OF THE RAIL.
