Yes I did think of that. The problem is I only have a hand drill and I'm not confident I can drill a hole bang on the rail axis. If the rod is skewed it'd be difficult to fit into the hole in the brick


The rod would be flush with the end of the wood. It would be there to
strengthen the wood so you are happy to cut it to fit a circular
bracket. The support would come from the screws holding the bracket to
the wall.
