Is that a "short" joke?  :laugh:

In case you haven't seen one, this is what the dryer rack looks like...



The two nubs on the far/top side of the photo are spring loaded supports that push into indentations on the back wall of the dryer.  These are apparently the weak component (at least for supporting the amount of brass I would like to heat) of the rack because one of those is what broke.

I was thinking about McGyvering an old baking sheet with spring loaded metal nubs (appliance feet/glide with plastic end) to hold it in place on the back of the dryer and then some legs patterned from the original rack.

If the Evil Scientist suit fits....

Although I'm more of an incompetent semi-evil amateur machinist.

Hank:
I have a couple of dedicated cookie sheets for the kitchen oven. I put a layer of paper towels on the cookie sheet then lay the brass out on them. Have oven heated to 200-225 then shut it off and put brass in. IDK-20-30 min. seems good to go.
the only downside to this is if you space some off in there and the wife cranks it up to 375 to bake something! Happened once, but it didn`t seem to hurt anything. Geez, man I always look inside the oven before I turn it on..seriously.
