Nothing too fancy and not super precise, basically cut a strip of wood to size with a hand saw and made notches for the pieces to fit together using the same hand saw and a chisel. :)

Wow that looks way better than the junk I made! How is it assembled? Glue? Screws?
No glue or screws, I just made cuts about halfway down on each piece where they intersect so that they slot into each other. Since the cuts were imprecise, I used a chisel to take off material until it fit nicely.
There are the 5 pieces going vertically, slotting into the one horizontal one each at the top and bottom. It's easiest if you clamp all the identical pieces together when you make the cuts and fine adjustments, that way you don't have to cut every piece individually. :)
