Hi Cindy:
Thanks so much for the idea. My husband is multi-talented...one of
those handyman types (he's a civil engineer!). Maybe I can talk him into
building a rack such as yours for the classroom this summer. It's really a
bummer when a student has spent alot of time and effort on a painting only
to have the finished work lean just a little and develop a ridge in the
surface! UGH!
Thanks!
BF
