But ya gotta be cheap...like I am!
We wash out our Ziploc freezer bags...and reuse them. Cheap?...you
bet!!
I got tired of letting them sit in the drain rack...and never drain
quite right because they don't open up for the air to get inside.
So...
I built a SOPHISTICATED dryer for them!
Took a piece of wood about 6" x 18"...glued and tacked 6 spring-loaded
clothes pins on it...glued and tacked the board to the inside of the
basement door...which is next to the kitchen sink.
Now...after the bags are washed...they get hung upside down on the
'bag' pins. Hang them at nite...dry in the morning.
If you need detailed plans on this project, I can email a set to
you...for $149.50...plus shipping. Senior discount available! :)
Have a nice week...

Along with the plans...and at no additional cost...I provide tips on
how you can hang paper plates from the pins.

Will the plans have detailed information? We need to know what type of
wood, what type of glue and how ot finish it. Will it work insde of a
pantry door?
I use a Tilia Foodsaver Vaccum sealer. The bags are made to be re-usable
and we do. I generally invert th e bag over a bottle to keep it open to
vent. Nothing wrong with saving money.

Hey, I want to make a pair of these, so I'll need two sets of plans. How do
I get 'em?
I got a friend who, when he goes to a resturant, he grabs several of
those little free mints at the cashier and then saves them all year to
give out on halloween.......

I gotta be real honest...and I don't do this with everybody. But I
could really use the $149.50. So...
Just take the plans I'll send you for the $149.50. Double the width
dimensions. Mark the center...and cut it. Whah la...a PAIR of
these!!
I usually charge another $49.50 for that info...but I feel generous
today.
The plans really are pretty flexible. You can make the hanger for 6
bags...or you can make it for 36 bags (if you have a really wide
door). The plans are simple enough so that you can adapt them to your
situation pretty easily.
For instance, I sold the plans to our country jail...and they found a
way to put the holder on their steel doors without actually nailing
them.
Take your wife out to dinner with the $149.50 you just saved!
Yer welcome! lol
Have a nice week...

One of the few times I watched the Steve Harvey show, they had a guy on

- Brought home ketchup packets from McDonalds and squeezed them into his
ketchup bottle.
- Bought 2-ply toilet paper and separated the plys.

Yup!

This project has been tested with every kind of wood known to man,
Ed...except balsa.
>what type of glue
Because of its intended use with water-laden objects, I recommend
exterior glue...any brand. The prototype was made with Elmer's.
>and how ot finish it.
We suggest 6 coats of exterior poly. But, if you have black interior
doors, you can also use spray automobile undercoating. You just need
to cover the pin springs when you spray.

Although one CIA agent reported he had good luck doing this (he didn't
mention the country he used it in), the hanger has not been tested on
pantry doors. If you decide to use it on those kinds of doors, you'll
void your 1 hour warranty.

That's what gave me the idea! lol I had bags opened up and sitting
on top of all my wife's nick naks. Actually, SHE suggested that I
come up an invention!!!
Of course, you CAN build one of these without my plans. But I
wouldn't suggest it, of course!
Good luck.
Have a nice week...

People have TRIED this...and I understand some have been seriously
injured. Beware of plans that don't have the Roy Rogers Fan Club
stamp on the back.

Okay, I told this story over in the binary abpw but I guess I'll tell it
again. (Okay, actually, I'll copy and paste). I refer to posting pix, and
if anybody wants to see them, I can repost them over at abpw.
The story as it was told then:
So, my father-in-law is a retired wheat farmer who has more money than God's
rich uncle. I was, thus, very surprised to see that he was so frugal that
he reused plastic Ziploc baggies. After use, he would wash them out and dry
them on a special rack which was basically a flat plate with four or six
dowels of different lengths protruding as prongs to drape the baggies over.
I, of course, spent the past several years making cruel fun of him for this
habit. That's just the kind of son-in-law I am. So last Christmas, he was
reaaaallllly excited to give me my present. Made me open it first. Couldn't
wait. You've of course figured out by now that my present was my very own
baggie drying rack that he had had a woodworking buddy make for me. That's
just the kind of father-in-law he is.
Well, this generosity couldn't go unpunished, so for Father's Day, I made
him what you see in the attached pix. It's about 13x13x8, give or take.
The box is made of MDF, the top crosspieces out of some scrap alder I had
laying around. The top is screened off with window screen under the cross
pieces. The rosettes are prefab Lowe's or Home Depot three dollar specials.
Prefab molding, too. The eagle used to be a brass coat hook, but I snapped
off the hooks and layered it in about 10 layers of gold from a rattlecan.
(let me jump in here, since the pix aren't posted with this message, and say
that it was a white cabinet, with feet. Molding around each side to give it
a Colonial look, and rosettes on three sides, with a big brass eagle on the
fourth) (back to the story)
Inside the box is a powerful turntable motor from what used to be a high end
German turntable, attached to which is a small wooden propeller. When you
plug this sucker in and turn it on, any baggies that might be draped on the
dowels immediately fly off the dowels and up in the air.
The whole thing, including paint, probably took a total twelve or fifteen
hours over the course of a week or so, and is by far the most ridiculous,
least useful, most impractical project I've ever done. And, of course, by
far the most fun also. That's just the kind of son-in-law I am.
He took it back up to Almira, WA (wheat country) and showed it off to half
the town over coffee.
