The shelf support. Brilliant.
Dry those shoes! :)
Great as always.
Made one this week for drying fly fishing wading boots. Even had the exact same fan lying around the basement. Used 2 1/4 inch PVC. Had everything lying around the shop as scrap from this or that project. Only real difference is I had some foam pipe insulation I used to seal the fan to box opening. Had a couple PVC end caps so if I have only one pair of boots drying I can send all the air into the two pipes in use.
Went fishing, caught some nice trout, boot dried right out!
Nice simple and practical design. Works like a champ!
Thanks much!
The trout are the best part of your story. The second best are those seals. Great idea!
That shoe dryer will work well. I wanted to make one similar to yours but to sit over my floor register in my bathroom. This way when the heat runs in the winter it will help dry my wet boots. My wife bought me boot dryer at Rural king for christmas one year and it does the same thing except it has a small heating element in it. Nothing like putting on warm boots in the winter!
Rural King! Love that place. Using the register is a great idea -- i'll have to shift over to that in the winter, again, and may have to rig something up to channel the air. Thanks for that idea! :)
excellent idea and perfectly done vid !
Thanks for checking it out
Love it..awesome project.😊
thanks! we're super psyched to get rid of the soggy shoe collection
AND since it’s pulling air, you could attach a hair dryer on the outside of the fan to pull warm air for humid or quicker results!
Oh yeah! cool idea
Absolutely love that you were just like, "It's a shoe dryer. It doesn't have to be pretty"
and it's still working!
Nice idea. I would also use it for gloves in the winter.
good idea! thanks for checking it out and good to hear from ya :)
That is a great DIY project. And I also wish I had a shop like yours, I have most the tools but no building. LOL
Thanks, Rev!
You are the best man
thanks! :)
Same design I had in mind but I’m using a different fan. Also I used pvc threaded fittings on the end so I didn’t have to drill holes another separate board.
sounds excellent! I'm building a new one now ... great devices!
It beats the 25 or $30 a pay for my boot dryer but the one thing I do like about my boot dryer it's always warm air and in the winter months it's nice put on warm shoes but something like that you can put your register with fan going and have nice warm sheets awesome idea
Ooooo, heat! That is most excellent in the winter. So true
You have a shop to die for LOL I really love your welder also!
I think it might be a shop to die IN ... gotta declutter! :)
I know what you mean I have an Etsy shop I make jewelry and you should see my bedroom. I have a tiny path to get through.
have I seen your Etsy shop? gotta check it out ... link?
Not sure www.etsy.com/shop/MadeByPamela?ref=listing-shop-header-item-count#items
oh yeah, now I remember your shop ... great stuff. I know it's simple, but one of my faves is the safety pin eyebrow ring. :)
I love this! Thank you for making this video! I’ve been looking for a project and think I’ll make one this weekend!
Quick question: do you think your shoes are less smelly because you use this now? I’m a runner and the sweat makes them smell not so great after only a few weeks and think a shoe dryer might help. Do you have any insight into this from your experience?
We're still using this daily several years later and yes, it helps reduce the smell and wetness. Nothing quite like having dry shoes for the morning run every day
Great for boots or wellingtons too!
Absolutely! keep the moisture out
Amazing shop u ve got
Thanks! I really enjoy it
Yeah that must be really bringing a smile to your face everyday :)
the air blows mainly out the top of the tube so the tip of the shoe gets dryer a lot faster than the heel side. Perhaps a generous hole (or a few perhaps along the top end of the tube) on the side of the tube where the heal of the shoe rests to allow air to cycle back into that area would cause a more distributed blowdry. just a thought. Great idea though and probably something I will be making for myself too. thanks for the great vid once again.
I had thought the heel wouldn't have dried at all, but the air seemed to circulate ... but you're right: a cool diffuser would make it even better. Even just a few holes in the end of the pipe might do it. Thanks for the ideas!
Making it happen 😎
WOW DAMN, VERY KOOL HERE 👍🏼
LIVING IN THE NORTHEAST,
THIS IZ DAMN NEAR A (MUST HAVE)
A LiL TIGHTER BOX, THEN PUT NXT
TO A (Floor or Baseboard) HEAT VENT. 👌🏼

Yep! Works great
i used a small fan blower 12V 4.5A instead of the fan and the air flow is only strong in the furthest 2 wholes :( should i add another fan blower from the other side of the shoe dryer? or maybe you have other ideas? i made mine in a shape of trapezium.. does this have any effects ?
As long as your box and system are tightly sealed, you will get equal air flow out as what is going in. A more powerful fan will certainly help!
Thanks, my fishing boots are wet and I need one. I’ll make mine to do one pair at a time.
Oh yeah, it's a great method for keeping them dry. Good luck out there fishing!
what are the specifications of the fan?
Any fan will work. you just need air flow
@@metaspencer okeyy thank youuu
Make it look like Titanic and call it DryTanic
DryTanic! Love it.
