Made these out of the craft wood they have available at Homie's/Lowe's. Simple to build cost is minimal. These are made from ash. I am making some from oak right now. The uprights I just use my drill press and cut a half hole the same diameter as the individual end of the plug for a nice fit.....sometimes a little work with the drum sander to make a nice fit!

That was my first thought, 1/16 thick. Good idea though.
