How will I dry herbs - part II

Those red clover and american plantain are inspiring me to keep going right now.  I see a small harvest of these herbs as a great opportunity to begin experimenting with the harvesting and drying process.

In my imagination, I'm working my way from a mental image of me having a basket full of red clover all the way up to what I'm going to lay the fresh harvest on.  Shelves.  It will take breathable porous, non-toxic shelves.  But before that, those will need a shelving system to hold them and allow them to slide in and out to make loading and unloading easy.

Getting started making a skeleton of a shelving system...

I have a bunch of 2x3's, 2x4's, and miscellaneous strapping/furring strip boards left over from a large number of projects from previous years.  I happened to have enough 2x3's and 2x4's to create a wooden frame a little over 7' tall with lots of vertical space to carry at least 10 29" square shelves.

After running around like crazy collecting, measuring, cutting (opps! re-cutting.  How many times do you measure before you cut again 😂), finding leftover decking fasteners, recharging drills, and questioning the value of a shelf-less, wall-less box that I need help carrying, I was done making the frame.

Here's a look
