• Attach it can be to the battery side.
• It is possible to install several such homemade dryers on one radiator at the same time.
• It will be easy to understand, for example, in the summer you can hide it so that it does not take up unnecessary space.

Materials for work

For work you will need such materials and tools:

• Remains of unused laminate with a thickness of 8 mm.
• Pencil and ruler.
• Electric jig saw.
• File and sandpaper.
• Electric drill with 8 mm drill bit.
• Paint or varnish, brush.

Construction device

This dryer will consist of the following elements:

• Two stand-holders. Internal locking strip.
• Outer locking bar.
• Screen-stop.
• Two wedges.

Important! To simplify the assembly, we add to the structure an auxiliary bar. By the way, since the holder-holder is the most important element in such a design and has a complicated configuration, it is necessary to strictly observe the dimensions indicated in the drawing.

We will collect the dryer without using glue.

Master class for the work of

And now we will learn how to make a shoe dryer, which will be attached to the battery:

1. At the first stage, we need to make special holes for the cruciform joints( linings on the floor of the tree).To make them very simple: you first need to mark the sample in the right place, then drill a hole 8 mm in diameter in the middle, according to the thickness of the laminate. Next - saw the sample with a jig saw on the inside.
2. As the cuts under the influence of moisture are capable of swelling and destroying the structure, each sawing must be varnished or painted over.
3. Now connect the racks with the auxiliary strap. With one hand holding on the bar, you need to push the lower parts of the racks in the first and fourth under the account of the opening between the sections of the radiator. And the second - by hand we install the internal locking bar, passing it through the central section.
4. Then you need to tighten the auxiliary bar a little, install the outer locking bar already from the top.
5. While the dryer is in free movement, it is necessary to determine its specific location, then install the wedges.
6. Next, you can remove the auxiliary bar, insert the screen-stop.
7. As a result, you get the space between the battery and the screen, where, in fact, the shoes will be inserted with their socks down.

• Electrical wires for extension and connection.
• Electrical box.
• Screws.
• Electric plug.

Master class for the work of

Assembling our dryer is as follows:

1. Cut a round hole in the box to fit the cooler.
2. Divide the corrugation into two equal parts, make slits in the box for them.
3. Insert the cooler, fix it with screws so that air gets into the attached hoses.
4. All gaps and clearances are sealed with rubber gaskets, which will ensure the correct direction of the air flow. So the dryer is ready.
5. And now insert both ends of the corrugation into the shoes, plug the device into the socket to test it.
