Drying Rack

Thinking I need to make something similar for ornaments. I try to finish ornaments in batches and sometimes the batch ends up being a couple hundred at a time..

I like the isea. But one question, what is a whiskey smoker?

A whiskey smoker is a tool used to add smoke and smokier flavor to a drink, usually an old fashioned. It typically consists of combustible wood chips or sawdust, a device to light it, and a box or dome to contain the smoke.

The drying rack looks a lot like an Excalibur dehydrator.

Yeah I wondered what that smoker was too.. Thanks Bob for enlightening us boring people, LOL

I put a wire shelf in my room ( the cheap closet ones), and made hooks out of wire coat hangers (from dry cleaning). I put the screw eye in the top of the ornament, stick in a hook, dip, wipe, hang. I spread newspaper on the floor.  Caution: stuff gets put on top of the shelf.

When finishing hanging objects I use my DIY hanging racks.  It is just 3/4 pine strips with 2 inch brad nails (shot from the other side) then add a base.  I usually do in the garage as you can get over spray.  As you can see the last job was white ornaments.

If just adding sealer I do in basement.  I have a couple like these,

I have a couple of "racks" that I use.  I have an old screen that I place between two sawhorses.  Taped an cheap plastic shower curtain under it so the finish will drip onto that.  Or, I have an cookie cooling rack zip-tied to a cardboard box and hooks for hanging ornaments.

Here is what I started using last year, works well and you can really load up the ornaments. I use ornament hangers. These racks are available is a variety of sizes and are designed to stack. If I have longer pieces to dry I'll support the ends on buckets.
