Pallet Wood Wine Carrier & Storage Rack - Woodworkweb

[@BigJeff19999]

Another very cool one Colin. I agree with another poster who said you should enter t hi into the pallet upcycle challenge. I really think that the online woodworking community is collaborative and has benefited from cross-pollination of great channels with great ideas and projects. Thanks again for your time!

[@knecht105]

Jeff Correia Thanks Jeff for the vote of confidence ... yes I do converse with a few others, you are correct about cross-pollination and we all benefit from that ... thanks again buddy

[@mrchromaticable]

Well that cuts the mustard. :). Looks great. Have a great holiday season.

[@knecht105]

Jason Topnik LOL ... yeah I know, my mustard containers for glue, as you know I buy glue in bulk, so finding just the right size and right kind of dispensers is hard ... these little mustard bottles are great.

[@Daveyhunter6]

I like that idea for holding clamps, that is a great idea I will make one Dave

[@knecht105]

Daveyhunter6 Thanks for commenting Dave ... maybe you will share some pics with us on woodworkweb when done :)

[@scottsanders3688]

Cool design as always

[@knecht105]

Scott Sanders Thanks Scott

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

Very nice project Colin

[@knecht105]

ShavingWood Thanks Tommy !!

[@MichaelDavis-nn5yj]

Another good video Colin. I like the idea of the carrier. I do not drink but a good thing f or storing things in. You take care my friend Michael.

[@knecht105]

Michael Davis Thanks Michael, I thought the same thing with these boxes, what a great way to store or carry other things that's why I wanted the bottle separaters to be loose, lost of cool things to do with boxes.

where can i get a set of measuring blocks?

[@geedubb2005]

great idea on the blade Colin! I'll keep that in mind. Nice lil project too

[@knecht105]

Gee Dubb Yes, I use this method quite often, I love the thin kerf it cuts and almost no dust or wood chips too

[@geedubb2005]

Thank you Sir and have a Merry Christmas! I think Santa is going shopping for me tomorrow! :)

[@StoneysWorkshop]

thanks a lot colin, do you have a video on restoring old furniture or cabinets that have been painted? I'm in the middle of a restoration (love natural color over paint) and I just want to see if I'm on the right track! Thanks!

[@knecht105]

StoneysWorkshop I'm with you buddy on the natural look. I do not have a vid on this but have done a bit. I really depends on the size of the unit. I find on smaller things one of the eco paint removers are best. I also found that if you paint it on then cover the remover with plastic to prevent it drying out, an let is sit for a couple of hours, it works much better. Other than that, it's kind of ... well, what ever works best. Would love to see some pics of your finished work sometime.

Hi Colin, fantastic tips all the way around!!! I really love "Pallet Wood" projects, and this makes great use of them. Thank you for a great video... I've seen many of your videos in the past, but I am now a SUBSCRIBER!!! Keep those great tips, tricks, and ideas coming. Looking forward to what the New Year brings.... Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to you and all of your viewers. JJG

Joel J. Garcia Hi Joel, great to have you with us, all the best to you and your family too buddy !!

[@Boomers_Bud]

Great video Colin. Derek

GiddyUp994 Thanks Derek ... thanks for posting those pics on woodworkweb too, great wood project buddy !!

I like the interlocking stacking feature. Growing up on an apple farm, many years ago, we use bushel boxes but the did not interlock to prevent bruising to apples but you need to be precise in lining them up to stack. They would be stacked 12-15 crates high.

[@knecht105]

WoodRodent That's a very cool comment, thanks for that. I wish I had some of those old wooden apple boxes, I remember them as a kid, and using the wood from them then to make different things. Of course now those old boxes are work the fortune as collectables. Thanks again for bringing back some old memories :)

Hello Sr. I'm from Spain, I gonna open a Portuguese Restaurant and I don't have much money , because open a restaurant is all very expensive, the Restaurant is good , but need Deco , in my city in Coruña every day I see pallets near the trash bean , the Problem is that I don't have tools and I live in a apartment, but I appreciate you teaching is very important, if I do something I will show you later ...was thanks to you ...regard and Gracias

[@PriorUniform721]

Hey Colin, thanks for the video and Happy Holidays. I wonder if it wouldn't be wise to strengthen the handle a bit. You cut most or all of that middle board out leaving the handle held in place with wood glue alone. I imagine one of those crates weighs quite a bit when loaded with 12 bottles of wine. I would worry that years of expansion and contraction may weaken the glue joint. Maybe use dowels instead of opting out like you did. Or place a piece across the grain at the top and route the handle through both. None of he less a neat like looking project. I like the idea too of the removable partitions and stacking tabs. This makes the crates useful even after all the wine is gone or before one's collection is complete.

[@knecht105]

Alan Evans I seems pretty strong, but if anyone wants to be on the safe side, the could move the hole down a tad ... Thanks for posting, good option

[@tonycordell9205]

Do you use 7 inch blades on your table saw often?...is it safe?

[@CMGDF]

why use a stop block instead the fence at the right distance? BTW your videos are really inspiring. At the moment I am working in the wine bottle gift box. cheers

[@knecht105]

CMGDF Great question, about using the stop block, and if you have ever tried to cross cut with both the mitre gauge and the fence you will know quickly that the wood once it is cut often gets caught between the spinning blade and the fence at the end of the cut whips the wood backwards. It's because the wood often jambs or binds between the spinning blade and the fence. With the stop block the wood cannot jamb. Great question buddy ... thanks for asking, I should probably have covered that off in the vid ... another time though.Love to see pics of your gift box when it is done !

[@frankorona1]

Great idea!!, thanks for sharing.

[@knecht105]

Francisco Corona Thanks Franciso, I'll bet there are some great character woods where you live

[@NYWoodworker]

Hi Colin, Interesting but very crude and crooked.... :) Not to be overly technical, but to use it as a wine rack, tilting it towards the cork would be better suited for a rack. Although I am not much of wine drinker, I do know that the corks must always remain wet so as not to allow any air into the bottle. Just a couple of wise ass comments. I still like to watch your videos.... :)

[@knecht105]

NYWoodworker Yes, it was a bit crooked on one cross piece, I noticed it after the vid was uploaded, had to go and look at the piece again and yup, I nailed it a wee bit crooked ... but it's perfect. I have had so many people ask for a video on how to fix woodworking mistakes, and this is a keeper for that video ... it's perfect for that. Yes I hear keeping corks wet is important, but also I believe the wine makers want the lees (I think that is what they are called) to sink to the bottom of the bottle, which is why they are tilted that way ... at least that's what the wine expert tells me ... I don't know, only passing along someone else's info. Others who read this might know more ... we shall see soon :)

[@kennyboothe7544]

Love the advice about using 7 1/2 inch blades and building a jig. You ARE going to enter the challenge, aren't you? I still may call it a prahject instead of a prohject. I thought your tilt would keep the corks wet.

[@knecht105]

Kenny Boothe Oh ... I think I am going to pass on the challenge, but you do have me thinking. Yes you are correct about the tilt and keeping the corks wet, thanks Kenny

[@DavidMummert]

Wouldn't it just be easier to tap the nails out? Seems like a bit of work and possible damage to a blade that's unnecessary

[@GlassImpressions]

I feel this video could have been 6-9 mins long. Not sure what your statistics look like but maybe keep the audience. Some constructive criticism

[@knecht105]

Andy Glass Yup, could have been, and when I shorten them, I get many complain that I don't show enough ... I just can't win. I keep a close eye on stats and compare relative vids. Thanks for the note

[@GlassImpressions]

KEEP UP THE VIDEOS! DON'T GET DISCOURAGED

[@knecht105]

Andy Glass Thanks Andy ... nope, I'm all good. I have some pretty broad shoulders and don't mind hearing constructive crits ... thanks for the follow-up buddy Colin
