Boot and Glove Dryer
Tired of damp stinky boots or gloves?  Sad  Get out the ShopVac, and $20 in parts at Menards, and build one of these!  It will get your plush lined boots and gloves dry in a 1/2 hour.  And it stops the stink as well. Big Grin

If that thing gets rid of the stink after diving, I think my wife would try to put me on there...

You need a tall, gangly, caffeine addicted, freak dryer/deodorizer for that...... ;D

Oh yeah, nice dryer.  One of these days I need to build one of those.

Re: Boot and Glove Dryer
Got rained out for a test drive on my new dry gloves so...

Hubby decided to try making one of these things. Turned out pretty good. We just need the hose to connect it to a hair dryer.  Will be checking out goodwill soon.

So I have to say today turned out okay even if I couldn't dive. Smile

Thanks for the idea.

Re: Boot and Glove Dryer
I think you want to use the blower output of a Shopvac instead.  The hairdryer might melt the PVC unless it has a no heat setting.  It might take a little longer as the hair dryer has less CFM than the Shopvac.

The detachable motor ones work best, also easier to take along, if you can find power or generator.
