So, to make a fixture for laying tiles, you need to prepare a couple of rectangular blocks of wood and a sheet of chipboard. The bars should be cut into 4 equal pieces (about 30 cm each). This can be done, including with an ordinary hacksaw. When this is done, the pieces are attached to the chipboard board.
