Rebar Toilet Paper Holder FARM HOME Bathroom “People always do a double take when they enter our bathroom for the first time ” says 15-year-old Anthony Barajas Headland Alabama who made a rustic toilet paper holder by bending a length of rebar into a U-shape The 1 1/2-ft long rebar is attached to 3 short pallet boards of different colors which are screwed to the bathroom wall “I wanted to make the toilet paper holder look as random and disorganized as possible ” says Barajas “I heated up the rebar in a forge so I could bend it The fire scorched the rebar black but I sanded down one end of it to expose the shiny metal which makes quite a contrast ” He used a homemade coal forge to heat the rebar in sections using an anvil and a 4-lb hammer to pound each section into shape as he went along “I started with a 4-ft length of rebar so I could hold the ends as I worked without having to use tongs ” says Barajas “After removing the rebar from the forge I cut it down to length I flattened one end of the rebar so I could drill holes in it and insert anchors through them ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Anthony Barajas 208 Sumac Court Headland Alabama 36345 cell ph 605 630-2474; anthonybarajas010@gmail com
