What to do with all that wine....... :)

Very nIce job!

Suecasa - you are right on about the horizontal supports. After having mine for a few years, the verticals moved a bit, and the bottles could fall through. I nailed them to the back, and ran a piece across the front. I'm glad this design is getting used! Glass of Cab to you all! and, merry...

Wow Bob. Very impressive. Glad the jig helped!

Sunsanvil - there is a plywood back on the rack that prevents any side-to-side motion. No worries! gfmonk - look on the 4th page of this thread. I put the plans, the jig, and the material list there. Paul

With a saw like that I'd no longer be a 9 1/2 fingered wood-worker.... Probably 8 1/2! Keep us posted! What kind of wine do you make in Hawaii?

Right on Runningwolf. I use a "brad" nail gun too, but predrilling as I see in another comment is a good option too, but will take some time. I would not skip the glue, but it really doesn't take much time. I pour some in a jar lid, and apply it with a small brush. Try not to use too much...

Anyone else haivng an issue? They open fine for me.

Thanks for all the interest! I have a few sketches here that I think do a good job of describing the design and the process of building. My wife (the stainer in our house), told me to suggest you stain the uprights before assembly, as it's darn near impossible after. I think this is a...

I love it.

Very nice Job!

I love it! Only one temperature zone though....

This rack is 100% pine. Supports are glued and nailed. I have a jig which made assembly very quick and easy. I'll post that too if there's any interest. I'll post the picture as soon as I figure out how...

Great new idea Deezil! The "trail of sludge" is a pretty stong indication... I just got an idea for a new carboy design. I'll sketch something up and post it. Thanks!

I've had the same problem by trying to get every last drop when racking. Depending on the size of your hose, there can be quite a bit of suction, pulling in more of the bottom gunk than you think. The best solution I've found is to lean the carboy at an angle, leave for 30min or so to let...
