Wire mesh tool organizer mesh rack—instructions:
1. Mark the correct cut points on the mesh edges for the prongs with small pieces of tape, as well as the half-squares to be bent against the wall. Then cut off the prongs.
2. Once the prongs are cut, the base form of the rack is ready. Bend the taped prongs into hooks, and bend the full squares against the wall.
3. Mark the midpoint of the side squares with small pieces of tape. Place identical tape markers on the center squares of the top and bottom edges.
4. Use the angle grinder to slightly thin out the area where you plan to bend. Then place a board at the bend, secure both with two clamps, and bend.
5. Using a piece of pipe, bend the top prongs slightly outward and the bottom prongs upward to form hooks. Then align the hooks evenly.
6. Saw short dowels from a thick branch and drill 5 mm holes in them. Push them onto the hooks. Cut attachment loops from the metal strap and drill holes in their centers.
