redneck drying rack

Post by HillbillyGeek » Fri Feb 01, 2008 5:00 pm

Materials:
popsicle sticks & bamboo skewers from the dollar store.

heavy nylon thread around the edges (keeps stuff from sliding off if it gets bumped or you have to pick it up)

super glue gel

construction tips:
When building the side structures with popsicle sticks, it helps to build the second one by laying it on top of the first one after it has dried. That way they will line up perfectly.

Wire cutters work great for snipping the pointed tips off the skewers.

Sometimes jerry-rigged and handmade stuff does the job just as good as any store bought item!!!

SWEET!!! I really like that Hillbilly. I dont do a whole lot of painting but when I do I tend to do at least a dozen if not 2. I just hang them off the end of my table. But....... all it takes is 1 happy dog to earase all my hard work with 1 wag of her tail. Like I said I dont paint lures too often so it didnt make much sence to buy a drying rack or go all out and make a really nice one. It looks like that one cost about $2 to make and little time/ effort was involved. Just my style cheap and easy. Another problem I have is space in my fishing room. But with something like this I can toss it and make a new one every year if need be. Keep em coming, I can tell you know about making your own lures. Thanks
