Materials: Wood glue, 1 ½ ” wood screws, mushroom-style button plugs, finishing materials; 12 rubber rod holder clips; Four  ¾” L metal brackets.

Authors Note: Finding the rubber clips that get screwed or glued into the wood to hold the rods can be difficult. They are not available everywhere. I located them by doing a search on Google that lead me to eBay. After purchasing them through this outlet I did happen to find a traditional hardware store (crooked wood floor and all), in Florida, NY that also had similar rubber holders that would work.

Peter Fiduccia,
I have searched everywhere on the internet and in stores. What site did you locate the rubber clips? I am in the process of building a round cedar rod holder and I do not want to cut notches as they will not actually hold the rods.
I would appreciate your help in this matter.
