  6. Step 3 – Sketch It!

  7. Step 4 – Create It! This is me with my PVC pipes. I started out using them, then I decided that I would make it adjustable . So, my dad and I took some of it back to Lowes. We kept some because we needed a place for the heating coils to go.

  8. This is me taking some coils off a rack . We needed to put some in the PVC pipes so it would heat up.

  9. This is me messing with wires on a marine boat blower. This blower is needed for blowing the regular air from outside into the Dryer Buddy.

  10. Step 5 – Try It! • I saw that my drying rack was not stable, so I decided to make one that is attached to the wall.

  11. Step 6 – Tweak It! This is me after I tweaked it . I tweaked it from PVC pipes to an adjustable metal material. My dad and I drilled holes in the metal rods for the heated air to blow out.

  12. This is me by the Dryer Buddy. I am holding a hose that goes to one of the racks.

  13. This is me typing up my script. I said it when I made my video.

  14. Step 7 – Sell It!
