Introduction: Avoid Buring Your Hands With an Oven Rack Puller

By

Saw one of these at Lehaman's Amish Hardware, figured I could make one for cheap.

A pair of oven rack pullers is used to get the rack outside of the oven so there is less chance of burinig your hands.

My wife got bit by the oven so I decided to make some for her. Besides, I am terrified of ovens, childhood accident.

This is quick, easy and handy, An ideal project for a scout troup for Mother's Day.

Step 2: Making the End Marks

1. Measure 8 inches on the Yardstick and mark it off.

2. Mark 7 1/2 inches and mark it as well.

3. Measure to the 1/2 way point on the width of the yardstick and mark

4. Use the straight edge to make two guidlines from the edges of the ruler to the centerpoint at the 7 1/2 inch mark.

See photo below.

Step 3: Making the Puller Marks

5. Mark a loop at the 6 inch point that extends up to the mid point of the yardstick. It should look heartshaped if you hold a mirror up to it. Make sure the top of the heart is toward the 8 inch mark.
