DIY Wine Rack - being bad never felt so good.

#woodworking #diy #wine
In this episode, I show you how I nearly kill myself with boredom making multiple wine racks - 118 bottle capacity each - out of 3 sheets of plywood, some wood glue, some brad nails, some paint, a can-do attitude and, like, 400 other tools (not really).

Nice build! Next project for me is a downstairs wine rack in a refurbished closet, probably with a small temp control unit.

[@thebarbuilder4793]

Thanks Logan! That's definitely the more upscale version of what I've done here. You should share it when it's done!

Nice

[@thebarbuilder4793]

Thank you very much!

[@stanleygrover2162]

Great video thank you. I am going to us 1,1/2” and 1x4 to make mine

[@thebarbuilder4793]

Thanks! Good luck. Hopefully you'll be able to keep wine longer than I can.

Nice job! So the vertical spacer you had was 5 inches and the horizontal spacer was 4 1/4 inches with 1 1/4 cleats?

[@thebarbuilder4793]

Precisely! Barring any super strange bottle shapes, it'll pretty much take anything. Thanks for watching!

What thickness wood was used? 1" or 2"?

[@thebarbuilder4793]

This was all made from 3/4” birch plywood.

I like it and I'm stealing it. But what's with the Tropico intro and outro music?

[@thebarbuilder4793]

Steal it! That's why I made this video. And frankly, because it was hot as hell when I shot it, and, frankly, the music is public domain and requires no licensing.

Nice! How much do you charge for these?

[@thebarbuilder4793]

Thanks man! It kind of depends. Plywood prices have gone insane as of late (at least here in Canada), but these were for my own bottle shop, so it was just material cost - around $350 at the time - but with all the labor hours, finishing steps, as well as the variability in veneers, could be anywhere from $1000-$1500. Hope this helps!

Will Champagne bottles fit?

Nice But too much edge banding for me .Solid lumber. but I subbed

[@thebarbuilder4793]

Thanks Randy! I'm off the edge banding now, for what it's worth. Started just making my own out of hardwood. There's no reason to bring an iron into this anymore.

-1 for edge banding

[@thebarbuilder4793]

I consider my lesson learned. I will say that the melamine edge banding, as opposed to the real wood stuff, is far easier to work with.
