• Excess wood aside.

Step 2 :-

• Mark one side of the wood plank every 10 inches starting from one end.
• Turn the plank on the other side and start marking from one end, first by 5 inches and then every 10 inches.
• This will give 5 inches of space in between each fishing rod, on alternating sides, when the project is done.

Step 3 :-

• Get the excess wood plank and cut 2 pieces 8-inches each, which will be used for the fishing rod rack's feet.
• Screw the wider side of the feet to one end of the 70-inch wood plank using the 2-inch self tapping screws.
• Lower the feet about half an inch to raise the rack off the ground and add to its stability.
• Repeat with the other piece of 8-inch wood.

Step 4 :-

• Grab your PVC pipe.
• Measure and mark every 9 inches and saw off each section.
• You can sandpaper the ends of each tube to smooth out the sharp edges.

Step 5 :-

• Measure an inch from the bottom end of the PVC pipes and mark with a pencil.
• Then measure about 2 inches from the first mark.
• Drill a pilot hole in your PVC pipe sections on the places where you marked.
• This hole is your screw driver access.

Step 6 :-

• Attach the PVC pipes right on the markings on your wooden rack using a drill with the screw driving bit and the ¾ inch self tapping screws.
