Project Information
I've tried several of different drying stand gadgets, done work near as well as the double 1/4 inch peg board stand. I ran across this in a woodworking magazine.
Start with 2 identical pieces of 1/4 inch peg board, a size that fits your needs. I chose 24"X24", I sometimes dry several pieces at a time.
I cut 5 - 3" long 1/4" dowels, they can be longer if you want. You'll add more dowels later. There are several ways to cut them, pick one that's safe.
Use these dowels to aline the the peg boards, they should fit right on top of each other perfectly. Cut 4 - 1" square strips of wood to length, depending on the size of your drying stand. I used 1" square pieces because it gave the best stability to the pegs. However 3/4" plywood strips would work too. Glue and nail them to the sides of one of the peg boards. Now take the 2nd piece of peg board and place it on top. Use the dowels to aline it in place. Glue and nail it together. Choose one side to put your non-skid feet on.
The feet allow the pegs to go through both pieces of peg board giving the pegs added stability. Use a pencil sharpener to sharpen your pegs to the same size. Now you have a versatile peg board drying stand.
