Create a pots and pans hanger from a restored window frame courtesy of toolmaker Dremel:
YOU WILL NEED:
Dremel 4000 and 115 High Speed Cutter 7,8 mm
Dremel Multi-Max MM20 kit
Dremel Multi-Max sanding papers for paper (P80, P120 and P240)
Dremel Multi-Max Multi-Max Wood and Drywall Saw Blade MM450
Old window
Paint
Screw Hooks
Chain or galvanised cable
Step 1:
Save some space in your kitchen by creating a pots and pans hanger from a old restored window-frame. Remove glazing on the long, straight areas of the window-frame using the Dremel Multi-Max MM20 with the MM450 wood and drywall saw blade. To remove glazing in cured or tight spaces, use a Dremel rotary tool, like the Dremel 4000 kit with the 115 high speed cutter.
Step 2:
Remove the paint on the flat expanses of the window frame using the Dremel Multi-Max MM20 with the MM70P paint sanding paper. Take your Dremel 4000, equipped with a flap wheel sanding accessory, to remove paint in areas that are more difficult to access.
Step 3:
Paint the sanded frame. Once the paint is dry, drill pilot holes into the frame in areas where you would like to hang your pots. Finger-tighten screw hooks into your piloted holes.
TIP: You can mount it to a wall or hang it from the ceiling. Here we hung the window from the ceiling using a galvanized cable looped around screw hooks fixed to each corner of the window.
SAFETY TIP: Work with both the Dremel Multi-Max MM20 and the Dremel 4000 tools at a medium speed. When removing the pane/s of glass from the window, be careful to watch out for any existing nailing holding the pane/s into place as they can be sharp. It's best to wear gloves and eye protection when working on this project.
