Urban Logged Wine Bottle Sculpture | Woodworking Gift Idea

I went way out of my comfort zone with this one. This is not typically the type of project I make. I like woodworking projects with clean lines. I decided to challenge myself in a different way for this project. I took a slab I chainsaw milled and created an organic looking wood sculpture for holding wine bottles. I love how it turned out and it was a pretty quick build. If you're going to build a wine rack might as well make it look at cool as possible! One really long day in the shop or split it into two days and you can make this woodworking project too.

Quite creative I like it Curt

[@meperson]

Awesome project - never seen wine rack like this before. I stayed till the end but already subscribed 😁.

[@derekdodson5623]

Very cool project. Thanks!

[@robinbarnes399]

Put on 4 0r 5 layers of packaging tape, it helps as a lubricant for the blade and helps stop so much burning.

[@shaynesabala]

Oh wow I love that. What a beautiful piece of work. I dint hang one of those sanders but now I want one. I’m not a wine drinker but I would love to make this as a gift. Damn you man, more tools. Lol.

Excellent vid.

very very nice 👌 and out standing great 👍 wood working project iam just a beginner in wood working after I went into semi retirement because of my stroke 😊 🍻

[@Saltmancer]

Appreciate the fair template pricing

[@christopherwhicker6257]

I have the exact same band saw. Despite following the manual the best I know how, I can’t seem to get a parallel fence for resawing. I would love a comprehensive video for bandsaw set up, maintenance, blade replacement and adjustment, etc. Love your videos! You do great work.

[@sbs128]

Definitely making this. Well done

[@TomDanaher]

Beautiful piece. Nice job.

[@jimrosson6702]

Very cool idea

[@howler5000]

Great looking piece!

[@glennryzebol4472]

I think i would have done a 1/8 inch round over on that thing but hey, it`s not my project and it still looks great. Gotta love the Osmo! I hated the finishing part of my projects until i started using it. Easy and nearly impossible to mess up. Thanks for another fun video mate! Cheers

[@NewtonMakes]

I thought about a bigger round over but...meh it's all good

[@williamellis8993]

That's great, Billy. Your bandsaw skills match your insane scroll saw skills. Bill

[@NewtonMakes]

Ha! thanks. The second blade wasn't burning at least.

[@robertjoyce9987]

OUTSTANDING! I love this wine rack and you did an amazing job making it look easy, even though I know it wasn't!

[@adamc3474]

That's a cool design. Looks like fire. Stay awesome.

[@oneturnatatime6309]

Neat idea and a beautiful design 👍

[@Dandelion-32]

I absolutely love this design so much I had to give it the thumbs up twice, but that turned out to have an unintentional effect, so I gave it a third thumbs up. This is the very first woodworking template I've actually downloaded. The very modest price almost justifies actually using live slabs 😄 Not having a bandsaw, I think I'll go with an MDF template and a router table. It's really a beautiful design 👍

[@NewtonMakes]

I love this comment. You explain how you don't have a tool so you have another way to make it. Most people would instantly shut down the idea of building it. They need to think about it like you did.

[@robertm348]

Awesome design! You have inspired me to make one, too. Thanks!

[@Azurko]

That is pretty awesome!

[@justinbanks2380]

Cool project! You could also do the same thing with two and put some spacers of some sort, maybe rods or threads or just small wood scrap blocks, to give a slightly different look and also help if you don't have access to as much thick stock. Also, depending on where you can get supplies near you, thicker stock can be cost prohibitive. Very neat idea and inspiration!

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Billy! Nicely done! 😃 It looks more than amazing! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@NewtonMakes]

It was fun without a ton of thought. Which is perfect for some of us who already have too much thought. 😂

[@hammerhands58]

Great idea with the contact paper. I have been using blue painters tape and that takes forever to apply.

[@davidjefferds8532]

I have some spalted maple that I may try this with.

[@meljohansen8634]

I made this wine rack by gluing a bunch of scraps together, matching a picture in a magazine. I cut it out in sections and glued them together for sanding. I used my spindle sander with a little trick I devised. I bought 6" sanding sleeves and used them over the 4.5" spindles. This worked quite well to clean up the whole surface.

[@MarriedManWoodworking]

Awesome project and video. Subscribed now. Keep up the great work

[@michaelbradford4444]

Make another and mount them on a wall and store some pipe clamps , levels , dowels ect. that would also be cool !!

[@NewtonMakes]

Or make a giant one as a table base

[@michaelbradford4444]

@@NewtonMakes Lol !

[@ethanhumphrey5758]

Great job! I think I will attempt to make it, although with only a jigsaw there will be a LOT more sanding. Just personal preference here, but I think it would have looked better with 3/4 thick laminations of contrasting woods.

[@NewtonMakes]

I thought about that. But I did contrasting lamination on the pencil holders a couple videos ago and didn't want to repeat that.

[@wiseoldfool]

Absolutely stunning, Billy. If I try something like this I'll get a spare bandsaw blade before I start. A 7-hour plus road trip (that's Australia for you) in the middle of a project would probably make me lose interest!

[@NewtonMakes]

Ha, better have two spares in that case 🤣

[@andybrook-dobson726]

Can’t you guys buy things like band saw blades on the internet?

[@wiseoldfool]

@@andybrook-dobson726 Probably going to take 2-3 weeks to get here.

[@tedluce5459]

Great project. I've decided to try it. The sanding is a pain.

[@sanyasharma1067]

Very nice but from where I can get it

[@elmaestro35]

How dare you use a slab of gold for this. Jajaja. Looks great man, job well done. Keep at it, killing it with your last few videos and the sarcasm.

[@NewtonMakes]

Next I'm using platinum slabs

[@FullRythym]

That looks great! Do you have any photos of it completely filled with wine bottles?

[@NewtonMakes]

I don't have enough bottles to fill it completely. I don't typically drink so I've had to buy bottles for projects.

[@vinimarshall7301]

Thats really nice , now i have to make one , dont think it will be as good as yours though 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@newbie0156]

Great design, I think I will make one or at least give it a shot :) How thick did yours come out?

[@randymayieka]

Hey Newton, I can't seem to get the Templet for this.

[@nickvaughan4069]

Do you not need to pop the grain with water or just for darker woods Nick🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿?

[@michaelwillson6847]

Billy that's awesome yea a totally think u should do more things like this. It's really weird actually saw something pretty much identical to this in friend mines house about a week ago only difference is his was 4ft tall but yea am totally gonna give that a shot looks amazing great Christmas gift/idea to sell! 🤔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍 Ps could we do another easy projects video especially with Christmas coming up maybe challenge out 1 5ft live edge slab??

[@NewtonMakes]

I'd definitely like to put out a couple more small gift videos. I need to brainstorm.

[@michaelwillson6847]

@@NewtonMakes think it could be good as a say would be interesting see what and how many you could come up with from say a 4ft 2inch thick live edge slab there's one idea. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🤔

[@ericr1382]

lol. you need to air your tires like me.

[@DesertDolphinWoodworks]

Awesome. Can’t wait to make this. What’s the dimensions of each piece you used?

[@NewtonMakes]

Little under 2" thick

[@ignatiusreilly8280]

How do you keep the saw blade tight? Mine wobbles, no matter how much I tighten it. Ryobi band saw, using 1/4" blade. Anyone in the comments? I'm having trouble with it wobbling, I cannot follow lines easily.

[@NewtonMakes]

Never used that saw so it's hard to tell. Sometimes there are bolts you can adjust beyond the tension wheel. The manual usually says.

[@maxfli343]

What does the scotch bright pad do for putting oil on it by the way it’s bad a$$

[@NewtonMakes]

Allows me to buff it into the grain without leaving marks. Seems to work better than a rag.

[@oldguy7402]

For heaven's sake, buy a new bandsaw blade. Much cheaper than a table saw blade. Even top end timber wolf blades are generally under 35 bucks.

[@NewtonMakes]

I literally bought one in the video.

[@oldguy7402]

@@NewtonMakes yes. I guess I should have phrased it, why not have a spare on hand, and I wouldn't have waited that long... matter of style. I'm cheap, but like working with dull tools even less.

[@brucepeters9575]

Oh stop it. You’re making the rest of us look bad. Nice project.
