Step 4Making the "heater"
The heater fits loosely inside the frame (including the braces). The drying screens will have a 3/4" frame, must clear the braces (if you are using them), and the heater needs only radiate to the actual drying surface.
1. Cut the aluminum flashing to size and bend over the corners so you won't cut yourself taking them in and out of the frame.
2. The heater has to float above the screens, so rip 3/4" pieces of cedar and cut to the width of the heater. It will be easiest to do from a new board, though you could use the piece from the making the N/S sides. Cut another ripped piece to the length of the heater to form a handle on its top. Add four braces on top of the cross floats.
3. Spray paint both sides matte black.
