Closet Rail for tiny house loft
A closet rail fabricated from scrap steel handlebar tubing, and laser cut flanges. Powder coated to reflect warm light through the PNW winters.
I drew the flanges in Fusion 360 for laser cutting, and used my lathe and mill to round the corners and countersink the screw holes (top right).
The flanges ready to weld, and welded. Onward to sandblasting and powder coating.
I then milled a 7 degree angle on the ends of the tubes, to account for the pitch of the roof so that the closet rail would hang plumb.
This was a project of opportunity, based on a couple pieces of scrap handlebar tubing laying around the shop. I approximated the length needed for a small two person wardobe, welded the two tubes together, and added a 90 degree bend at the end.
The powder coater I worked with for this project, Brandon Waterman did an excellent job helping me find a sunny yellow that added warmth to the room.
