I am looking for a source for what is called a “Drying Board” It is a board, with many fine points sticking up to lay small finished parts on to dry. I saw one today that was about 20” x 12”. Any help is appreciated. -- In God We Trust |

Could you make one by drilling some holes in a piece of plywood and driving thin nails through? |

+ 1 for comment by Elizabeth ...another similar way is grab a handfull of brad nails….a sheet of plywood 20” x 12” or whatever size you want….strike the nails an equal number of times with a hammer so they all are set into the plywood at the aprox same height….go back and snip the heads off -- Measure "at least" twice and cut once |

I have dozens of pieces of plywood around 3”x6” with 4 sheet rock screws run up through them one at each corner. I make multiples of things that I’m finishing at the same time. If I’m finishing something large then I use a number of them. Works great. Also a great way to use up scrap plywood. |

I have made them, as suggested (lots of screwing ), but the one I saw today was a mufactured item and I am looking to buy one of those if I can find one. -- In God We Trust |

You may want to check out a kitchen store. I’ve seen dish racks very similar to what you’re looking for. -- No, I don't want to buy the pink hammer. |

There are also pet keep off trays to keep animals off of furniture which are a lot like you described. Like this from Amazon although it may not have enough “nails”! -- "I never met a board I didn't like!" |

maybe you could get some old floor mats for a vehicle…flip it upside down…lots of little grippy spikey’s on the underside. -- - Steve Campbell |

Mr. Finn you have posted 997 times in the last 1,019 days and have 18 impressive projects. Are you really wondering where to buy a board with nails driven through it? -- I dream of the world where a duck can cross the road and no one asks why |

HA ha. ............ I think the idea of nails through a board will be what I will make for this friend that wants another “drying board” like the one he has. I have a pin nailer that should make short work of it. -- In God We Trust |

Jim, I usually do the brad nail thing but sometimes worry about scratches so I have a second drying board that is a piece of ply with holes and plastic golf tees thru them. -- " I'll try to be nicer, if you'll try to be smarter" gfadvm |
