Boot, Glove Dryer Powered By Hair Dryer

Boot Glove Dryer Powered By Hair Dryer FARM HOME Clothes A portable hair dryer scrap plywood and some pvc pipes can be used to make a low-cost boot and glove dryer says Steve Brubaker Oconto Wis          “I looked at boot dryers on the market but decided I could make my own for less money ” he says “It was simple to build and works great The boot dryers I found on the market can’t hold more than a couple pairs of boots and gloves at a time Mine can dry several pairs and cost very little to build ” The hair dryer fits into a 2-in pvc coupler at the top of the box and forces air inside a 3-ft tall 18 by 6-in wooden box with pvc pipes sticking out of it on 3 sides Each pipe is capped at the top To dry his boots Brubaker pulls the caps off and places the boots upside down over the pipes and then turns on the hair dryer A timer controls how long the hair dryer runs “It blows hot air out of any pipe that’s open ” says Brubaker  “The hair dryer I use has different heat and blower speed settings I use 1-in dia pipes to hold boots and 3/4-in pipes to hold gloves or smaller  boots I’ve found it’s best to use pipes that are at least 12 in long for boots ” To mount the pipes Brubaker drilled holes in the sides of the box and then screwed the pipes in place “I applied caulk around the pipes to keep air from escaping I keep a small plastic tub on top of the box to hold caps I’ve removed ” he notes Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Steve Brubaker 3427 State Hwy 22 Oconto Wis 54153 ph 920 604-0208; steveandemmy81@gmail com
