Getting into flatstock are we? A simple vacuum box is easy to build. You can use 3/4 plywood for bottom, sides and inner supports and acrylic or metal for top. Drill top with small bit in grid pattern, attach an old vacuum to bottom and go. For drying rack drill sides of two 2x4's evenly at small angle and insert dowel rods. Mount side by side and you can easily put 50 coros on one rack. With rack mounted to casters you can move with ease. When I get a chance, I'll snap a pic and upload some of my old ones for an example.

Thanks
