How to make affordable cabinet hardware for any existing holes

Find out how easy and affordable it is to make cabinet hardware and drawer pulls from wooden dowel rods and copper plumbing tees to fit any sized holes. Or maybe you just want to have modern-looking hardware for the fraction of the cost of what home improvement stores offer? Well, this is the tutorial for you.

Thank you for your kitchen diy. It gave me much inspiration and possibilities for my own 🤍

[@juliakonya7266]

Glad you like it and good luck.

[@eternity7477]

My goodness. I was searching to see how to make brass hardware and yours is by far the best and prettiest. And it looks pretty easy to make.

[@juliakonya7266]

Thank you! Yes they are pretty easy to make. Good luck!

[@bback4078]

They look great! Thank you for all the close up shots! I'm planning to use your tutorial for a dresser I'm redoing soon!

[@fehyndana7725]

Awe your kitty is so affectionate!😻

[@juliakonya7266]

Yes he is! He's my baby. I raised him with a bottle when he was two weeks old. He's the best.

What's the name of your paint used on the kitchen drawers

[@juliakonya7266]

It's Lush Sage by Valspar

[@djmaxi1773]

@juliakonya7266 thank you very much

[@kurtholzbacher9984]

Why not use 5/8 copper t's? With 5/8 wooden dowel rods? Why 1/2 T's with 5/8 wooden dowel rod?

[@fr0sty_glu366]

Why can't you do one big rod? Why do you need the short ones on the ends?

[@juliakonya7266]

You don't really need them. I just like the look.

[@kurtholzbacher9984]

It would be to hard to push one big rod all the way through to have the look of a wood rod on both ends.

[@loveydub]

Cat on the kitchen counter..... right.....

[@patriciacollins1141]

Your not going to like them when your shirt gets hung up on them. Or your hoodie pocket gets hung up on them. Will rip the pocket when it gets caught on it. I have something familiar to this

[@juliakonya7266]

I haven't had any issues.

[@gregrandol2801]

I'm really sure you can build it yourself. I did this 2 weeks ago thanks to the woodglut plans.
