Have you ever seen these? They are oven rack push pulls. My mom bought this one in a very expensive kitchen shop years ago and I still use it. You can check the Internet here for a look at different ones and check out the prices.

Well, who wants to buy one when we can make one for free. I used a black sharpie so you can see the lines, but a pencil is better for the finished product. Just draw a "V" on the top edge and a funny looking number 7 on the left hand side.
I took a picture of a tin snip cutter and a little saw, but I found that the snips caused the soft Balsa wood to snap. (Make sure you have extra sticks) The little saw worked better. Having your husband, boyfriend or significant other cut it for you is even better. The wood is soft, so it's not too difficult.

sand the edges down to remove the pencil marks.

Mark a little dot on the other end of the handle.
With a small drill bit, drill the hole for a ribbon so you can hang it up.
You can skip this step if you aren't going to hang it up.
See...now you can pull out the oven rack with the number 7 notch, and
you can push it back in with the "V" notch. My dad lives with us and has his own kitchen. I used his oven to take these pictures. Yikes, my ovens were not blog worthy. I have apple pie spillage all over the bottom of mine. See, now I know we're close friends, because I just confessed that!!
This is my first TTT with a disclaimer. I know this is obvious, but be careful with the wood near the heating element. The last 2 pictures look like the wood is near the heating element, but it was far away, 3 levels up. They work great just for the racks.
