Well guys, this is it! Look what I found! This is the best DIY dehydrator you will ever make…. I can’t wait to make this baby! Check out what you will need below and then you need to hop over to runnerduck.com via the link below for the full tutorial… Make sure you check out the shelving units too!
Everything is made out of 3/4″ cedar cut 1 1/4″ wide. Of course you can use any wood of your choosing but the cedar is light, lasts a long time and I like the way it smells. I don’t know that the smell gets into the fruit at all but it’s a nice thought.
Here’s what you’ll need:
(2) 6″ X 8′ X 3/4″ cedar boards (5/8″ actual thickness)
14″ 1/4″ dowel
(8) 10-24 X 2 1/2″ steel hanger bolts
(8) #10 flat washers
(8) #10-24 wing nuts
Window screen
Staples
Glue
Wire brads/nails
Build the following eleven frames:
(2) 14 1/2″ X 21 3/8″ – Front and Back
(2) 14 1/2″ X 11 1/2″ – Top and Bottom
(2) 20″ X 11 1/2″ – Sides (5) 13″ X 11 1/4″ – Shelves
