I would like to make a 41 inch square 3/4 inch copper shower curtain holder for my free standing shower. I have the holder all figured out, and will use 3 ways for the rods that attach to the ceiling, but how to attach 3/4 inch 10 inch long pipe to the wood ceiling with some sort of copper base, or foot... any ideas?

Aren't there copper pipe clamps? Or find copper stripping and make a 'U' clamp.. How about copper curtain rod holders?

Thank you so much for your idea
The problem is the copper pipes need to attach to the ceiling somehow by the cut end, the round rod will hang about 10 inches below the ceiling, using 3 of the 3/4 inch pipes.

...the problem is the copper pipes need to attach to the ceiling somehow by the cut end How about a 'T' connector w/top flattened or cut horizontally w/bolts either side; pipe end soldered in w/ maybe forcing a flange first f/ strength? Maybe split end of pipe and use flared ends as bracket.. .

I like the flange idea, I will look for copper flanges, solder the pipe, then attach to the ceiling... thanks so much for the solution!!
