Scales drying rack, AKA "Mini Monkey Bars"

**LinacMan** · 01-03-2012, 09:33 PM

I've tried several devices to hold wooden scales for drying after applying sealer/finisher and have always managed to mess things up. Lynn Abrams told me he sometimes uses a paper clip or wire to suspend them inside a Mason jar. That gave me an idea. My friend Sandmantapp & I scrounged together some of my wood box scraps and came up with this contraption. My kids thought it looked more like monkey bars than something for razor restoration

The wires lift easily out of the slots I created with my router and can be used to hold the scales while applying sealer.

That's pretty cool. What kind of sealer are you using?

Thanks!

I'm using Waterlox, at Lynn's recommendation. I tried CA, but it made me CRAZY!!!

Thanks! It didn't take much time to make, and the best part is that all of the wood came from the scrap pile
