[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Looks Great, and Congratulations on the Wedding, To love and be loved Is the pinnacle of happiness and riches. May you never lose sight of this precious treasure in all your days together. Have some Fun Time Off, and look forward to your return

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks so much Sterling! The good life is ahead of us!

[@l3ender15]

Absolutely beautiful! I don't think I'll ever get tired of dark/light wood combinations with a lacquer finish, they look so nice.

[@mfwoodshop]

Cool project. I like that you made something for your wedding. And congrats to you and your lady friend.

[@thebornmaker]

Heck yeah that's an awesome project. Congrats again. We're celebrating 1 year in a couple weeks.

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks! And congrats on 1 year!

[@GuysShop]

After watching, I'm not sure what I more inspired to do. Get out in the shop or have some bourbon! Hmmm... Maybe shop first, then bourbon afterwards. Great idea David!

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Beautiful display and nice build. Once again congratulations on the upcoming wedding, I'd like to wish you and your lovely lady friend a life time of happiness. Regards, Bob

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks so much Bob!

[@Wordsnwood]

nice use of contrasting wood colours. Also pretty neat how you used the dowels to connect the top and bottom pieces. Gives it a delicate open appearance.

[@sjbl1962]

David your bride-to-be is a lucky, lucky woman... a full bottle of whiskey, wow. Cool project. Congratulations on your wedding. Enjoy the vacation.

[@JayBates]

Great video David.

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks Jay!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Man, that turned out great! Good stuff!!

[@MakeSomething]

I Like To Make Stuff Thanks Bob!

[@alflud]

Ah, that's a gorgeous thing to behold - the display I mean, not the whiskey, although that sure is gorgeous looking too :) Congratulations on your upcoming wedding my friend. May you both have many, many happy years ahead of you.

[@WayneBrownWoodworking]

Congrats on the wedding. Wish ya'll all the best. Another very nice build.

[@ZacHiggins]

Man, that's a fine looking whiskey set! I love that sleek design, and I really like how you can see through the raised platforms with the thin dowel uprights. Good call on the epoxy coating for the glasses too, tricky!

[@CarlJacobson]

Great project David, again congrats!

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks Carl!

[@1976wvfan]

Awesome project! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

[@jeffreychaffins3188]

That will definitely add a great touch to your wedding. Great job and congratulations!

[@MakeSomething]

***** Thanks!!

[@rbleda]

Hey Dave, I really like the shot glass arrangement, I plan on making one for my uncle. Once in a while we get together and have whiskey and soda. So this would make a perfect gift! I think he will love it! Thanks

[@ShavingsandAwl]

Nice. This would make a great gift for someone. Nicely done David and Congrats again on getting married.

[@MakeSomething]

***** Thanks man!

[@jeremiahdevlin1499]

This is a beautiful stand and I love the matching shot glasses! Fantastic job Sir.

[@RKLGUY]

Amazing! You've inspired me once again. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding Dave.

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks! You a drummer?

[@RKLGUY]

Yes I am. I gave up playing for a while but I recently rediscovered my passion for the drums again.

[@GunnySGT1911]

Great project. I have a buddy that is a fan of Jack Daniels. This has inspired me to make a similar display for a fifth of JD as a Christmas present. He already has a set of shot glasses so I can use them instead of turning them. Thanks for sharing this one. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

[@clydehunt4405]

David what an awesome original idea... Congrats again on your upcoming wedding...

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks Clyde!

[@JimFancherDIY]

Very nice project. Love walnut and maple together. I really need to get a lathe. :) Congrats again. You guys have fun!

[@designsbyphilip510]

Wonderful display. Congrats on tje upcoming wedding.

You have done a marvellous job!

[@m4u11]

Awesome project. Gives me lots of ideas.

[@dogwoodtales]

Nice build! I like how your video shows just enough too. I think I'll make my own version sometime to display my Knob Creek.

[@oldwolfswoodshop]

Excellent, like that one, Christmas presents will be easy, thanks Dave. Also best wishes on your upcoming nuptials.

[@MakeSomething]

Awesome, enjoy your work. Congrats on your upcoming nuptials.

[@bill71ful]

Congratulations David. Been married for 20 years and would not change a thing.

[@PaulDesmondimakewoodthings]

Beautiful piece David. Congrats on the pending nuptials.

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks!

[@ItsGoodEnough4GovernmentWork]

That is a really great idea! I'll be making something similar for a friend of mine now. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@tamaselkan8902]

Very cool design and a nice piece! I would loved to watch a lot longer version of the build. Due to the upcoming event, will we see a bed build also, lol:)!

[@TyMoser]

I'm liking this one!

[@WoodByToth]

Thats bad ass. I'll be making one

[@avysdesigns1640]

Sweet project!

[@mikemickelson9202]

Nicely done!

[@happyhillsfarm8567]

Cool, I just got married a week ago, had planned on making shot glasses as groomsman gifts to go with their bottle of bourbon but ran out of time. Congrats

[@MakeSomething]

Congrats to you as well!

[@FelipeDelPapa]

Wow!!! Great idea

[@brandonzachry9719]

Cool project.

[@ultimate1933]

Very cool even though in December it will be 8 years of me being sober lol. Neat project.

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks! Congrats on 8 years.

[@woodville8873]

fantastic, great job

[@racma8698]

Hi, very nice project. I wonder if the epoxit (inside the glasses) is really recommended for the taste of an god Whiskey ?

[@bradsimpson8724]

It's a food-safe epoxy; as long as it's had time enough to cure and it isn't heated(used for espresso or anything like that), it shouldn't impart any kind of taste.

[@Backyardhomesteader]

First Class! And Congrats! Will it be safe to drink from the shot cups?

[@MichaelAlm]

Nice!

[@tkrasick]

new jointer... nice!

[@alanrodriguez3172]

very cool, did you just use epoxy to line the shot glasses?

[@peterbrownwastaken]

David got a lathe! :) Nice work with the cups! (and the whole project) How do you like turning?!

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks! I got the lathe a few months back. Haven't used it too much. Turning is fun but I haven't become addicted to it like everybody said I would.

[@avysdesigns1640]

Make Something I'm excited to see what else you use your lathe for-I need some motivation to get one for myself!

[@kizhax]

What did you use to finish the shot glasses? Will whiskey/alcohol act as a solvent for whatever it was?

[@jasonhenley84]

Congrats on getting hitched! What is that stuff you put inside the shot glasses?

[@steveadams4009]

Could you tell me does epoxy make a food-safe surface for waterproofing dishes and other wooden cooking items?

[@Xtreme200302003]

Did you use Glass coat epoxy on the inside of the shot glasses?

[@blackemmons]

Great lookin' piece. JimE

[@ninguemvj]

Very clever. Simple and gorgeous. What did you use to finish the glasses? Is it epoxi? Will any kind be safe? Cheers!

[@MakeSomething]

ninguemvj Thanks! Yes I'm using epoxy on the inside. Once any epoxy fully cures it's safe. It's a common technique I'm borrowing from wooden beer mug makers.

[@ninguemvj]

Drunken Woodworker Cool! I´ve been trying to find out a safe way to finish some beer mugs and I never got a straight answer about it. Until now. Thanks!

[@Dirtjim]

Very cool looks awesome, is the epoxy safe to like the shot glass with?

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks! Once it's fully cured it's safe.

[@blueeyce]

Looks great! Do you get your wood locally or through an online vendor?

[@20vK]

Any projects based around alcohol are alright by me! I'm still going to have a go at the beer caddys when I get the chance

[@Hick4Life]

Very nice. What was that you used on the inside of the shot glasses?

[@3mp7y1995]

+Benjamin Gauvin Some kind of epoxy i would guess :P

[@Hick4Life]

+Razzmuzz O Thanks I would have never fussed :) lol. I more wondering what brand :)

[@discgolftrainnut]

Congratulations!

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks!

[@WarrenPostma]

Epoxy coat inside the shot glasses? Very hard, and food/alcohol safe?

[@MakeSomething]

Yes. It's food safe once it fully cures.

[@gojessego]

Why do you think ANY modern finish would NOT be food safe?

[@Everfalling]

Jesse G because not all of it is

[@gojessego]

Like what? Please inform us. Shellac? Lacquer? Pre or post cat lacquer? Varnish? Conversion varnish? Polyester? Epoxy? Oil finishes? True polimerizing oil finishes? Please let me know and cite a reputable source, if you can. (By the way, good luck). Food safety pertaining to wood finishes is a myth perpetuated --solely by hobbiest woodworkers.

[@WarrenPostma]

Jesse G Cite something yourself, bro. Enlighten us poor unenlightened sods. How do you prove a can of toxic sludge is automatically food safe, contains nothing poisonous, and leaches nothing out, when in contact with food? Do tell.

[@Geeksmithing]

Nice and clean build! Covering all of your alcoholic beverage drinking apparatus bases huh? :P

[@Charles.Spillman]

David this is a great video can please put templates for it I really want to make one myself.

[@jamesc8709]

what did you use for the cups, what kind of sealer was that

[@adamquincey4371]

Excellent...! Cheers...

[@woodengamer]

Is there any special epoxy that you used? or is pretty much any epoxy food safe once it has fully cured? Beautiful display and shot glasses!

[@MakeSomething]

Once it's fully cured any epoxy should be food safe. I've heard it needs 4 weeks to cure.

[@mcremona]

fancy pants!

[@MakeSomething]

Sophisticated!

[@cardsfanbj]

out of curiosity, how was it used in the ceremony?

[@nicolagregson6054]

Brass tubes would have looked really good for the stilts . Looks brilliant tho .

[@georgesyfert1302]

How did you finish the cups?

[@lewisgarvin]

I like it! What wood did you use?

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks! Walnut with maple dowels.

[@jonhwalsh4900]

NICE !

[@joeoblenis6193]

What finiosh did you use on the shot glasses themselves?

[@MakeSomething]

I'm using epoxy on the inside.

[@marcusm.8374]

+Make Something Hi David ! I really enjoyed this video. However I'm wondering, isn't epoxy toxic ? Thanks for your reply :-)

[@MakeSomething]

Once it cures for 4 weeks it's just fine. Just like any finish.

[@marcusm.8374]

Thank you for your quick reply ! :-)

[@mikeymac0]

Great Video

[@mrraiders2003]

the plans are not available anymore?

[@hart_prints]

Badassimus!

[@VasilisBounellos]

Got a chance to use the lathe! Sweet!! :) Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Hope you can share some tips on how you combine woodworking and not make your special lady feel you don't spend time with her! :P

[@MakeSomething]

Vasilis Bounellos Thanks! I'll share those tips as I learn them. ;)

[@BackyardWoodworking]

Have one on me.Looks like Old Grand Dad 100 proof

[@MakeSomething]

Backyard Woodworking will do!

[@jessetate6244]

Why did you freehand the resawing of that board at 0:53 ?

[@MakeSomething]

Funny you ask! I have a video coming out next Friday about it.

[@jessetate6244]

Drunken Woodworker Haha, awesome. Turned out beautiful btw!

[@scotthaun8582]

forget communion, we're taking shots!

[@MakeSomething]

Scott Haun Yep!

[@Circleperfecttools2013]

Excellent video David. Love the idea. We here at CPT are learning quite a lot from you. Thank you for recommending the Jab, Jab.. book. It's been a great help. I hope we can make our videos as well as you do someday :)

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks! That's a great book! All of Gary V's books are highly recommended.

[@Devrony]

We are filming our first CPT Episode (showing how to install and calibrate our tools). Any other books you recommend for us? I've been learning mainly through watching other videos.

[@nerdglider]

very cool :)

[@theguniomi6905]

Congrats! (Even tough i dont believe in marriage)

[@AndrewArndts]

David, How long ago did you do the shot glasses? because if it is less than a month ago the epoxy hasn't cured long enough to be food safe man...

[@MakeSomething]

My motto: Drive fast and take lots of chances. 2 weeks will be close enough for one shot. :)

[@zacharychapman9015]

He said no plans but he had some

[@psychosean77]

you should do a more in-depth video explaining measurements/tool etc as some of us may want to build this too

[@rokhstar]

Dude, you're destroying your ears. Use some noise-cancelling protection :) (or at least some headphones)

[@bigboy6704]

hey, can you sound a little more awkward? but really i love your videos

[@jeremiahdevlin1499]

This is a beautiful stand and I love the matching shot glasses! Fantastic job Sir.
