I make a lot of salmon/steelhead jigs and needed a heavy-duty drying rack. This is what I came up with.
Materials:

Welcome aboard GreenFish! 
I gotta say I’ll never look at popsicle sticks and bamboo skewers the same way again. Actually, you have given me a good idea for a material clip made from popsickle sticks and rubber bands.
Glad to have you here!!
That’s pretty inventive! Keep 'em coming!! Far more creative than my pencil with straight pins stuck into the eraser (spoke like) to hold tiny dries while they dried.
GreenFish,

Thanks! It was a fun project, and pretty easy to put together.
This rack is definitely not fragile. I’ve picked it up by the bottom corner with several dozen 1/4 oz jigs hanging on the rails, no problem-o.
Here are some construction tips:
When you build the side structures with popsicle sticks, it helps to build the second one by laying it on top of the first one after it has dried. That way they will line up perfectly.
Wire cutters work great for snipping the pointed tips off the skewers.

Done.
Nice rack! I tie crappie jigs and something like that may be better than what I use now. I have a coated wire rack that is total 5 1/2" X 11 1/2" so I run out of room a good deal since I tie to sell and some orders are 40 - 50 jigs and hanging space here is a value.
I use a oven roasting rack to hang them on to oven cure the paint on the heads, but this one would work for that part since it’s wood.
