April used fairly sturdy angle brackets and a threaded rod to hold her ladder. Instead of making a trip to the hardware store to pick up the parts, I scavenged what I could find around my workshop. In the end, I opted for slightly less rigid angle brackets, and I used a 1/2 inch dowel instead of a threaded rod. My step ladder isn't very large, nor is it too heavy, so I should be able to make do with what I have. I doubled up on the angle brackets just to be on the safe side.
