Mini-Me Wine rack

I made this little version of my wine racks out of leftover lumber. I added a little bit of trim, a padded leather top, sanded it, waxed it and will donate it to our church auction/fundraiser. Probably should leave the wine out ( some at church might not think it's right )

here's some pics

w0W!!!

I know a bunch of folks around these parts that would bid on it in a heartbeat! Beautiful!

Very nice!!!

 

[DirtyDawg10]

Wow! Looks great!

They look great but I was just wondering why so many run the long pieces vertically instead of horizontally. It would only take half as many of the short pieces that the wine actually sits on.

 

[fivebk]

My thinking is: the more vertical supports you have the better the overall weight would be distributed ( less of a load on each leg)

Last time I said that I got smacked!

I agree but it looks like a vertical brace every 3 feet would be sufficient. Maybe it is just an aesthetics thing.

Bob that rack is awesome. I also made three racks like that that hold close to 150 bottles each. Like Mike said I would by tickets on it in a heartbeat.

I like the finish. I just did one and did a pre-stain sealer, stain, and polyeurathane. Its ok, but on pine, i don't think it looks nearly as nice as yours.

What is a wax finish?

 

[pgottshall]

Wow Bob. Very impressive. Glad the jig helped!

 

[fivebk]

derunner, It's just a finishing wax that you can get at any lowes/menards/ home depot. You have to apply about three coats wiping off excess after it has dried between coats.

pgottshall, Thanks again for sharing your jig design with this forum. Anyone can adapt it to the size they want. My first rack holds 252 bottles, the second one holds 272 bottles and the small one holds 24. I used the same jig to make all three!!!

Could someone please post a link to pgottshall's wine rack designs? I am getting ready to make a very similar rack and but I think this design may use less wood than what I had planned. Thanks in advance.

Enjoy!

fivebk - sharing is what this forum is all about!

Hey Bob, is that some Soaring Wings cases under the wine bench? Donna saved several cases for me too. I was sad to see her move on.

Great set up, thanks for letting me copy some ideas.
