Apply a drop of glue to one end of each of the dowels and insert them into the glued up side.
How to make a wooden tie rack. The closet in my apartment is pretty small and when the door is closed my suits rest right up against the door. And out of the wooden slats made one. Pre drill holes in the pegs to limit any splitting. Place a piece of peg board over the main piece of the tie rack so that the top row of holes is about 3 down.
Use the holes in the pegboard to evenly mark where you want the old fashioned nails to go with a pencil. To assemble the rack glue and nail one side to the back with 1 1 4 inch finishing nails. Attach the pegs to your 1x6 with screws and finish with a stain or paint. Put glue in the dowel holes of the second side then glue and nail it to the back.
Remove any excess glue with a damp cloth. We bought many tie racks but they didn t workout for us. Drill holes in the back of your 1x6 every two inches countersinking the holes for a flush fit for the pegs. So i set out to make a rack.
And later had the idea of making the height of the legs shorter to adjust it to another part of the cupboard. You do not need pegboard to do this but it sure makes it a lot faster and easier. Screw wall hangers on each side of the closet tie rack and hang at about eye level.
