Wine Rack

Looks nice. I have a pallet sitting in my garage I keep telling myself to make one, but the list keeps getting longer instead of shorter

I hear you. I also have my wife with a short list now. I am sure you all pros used to it.

Most of us didn’t get all these tools at once. I started by doing different projects and every year I would buy or upgrade one or two tools. Eventually you have a nice shop. There will always be something better you will want but due to $$ or space it isn’t practical. Numerous articles are out there as to what to get when, what to splurge on, what to scrimp on etc.

I am a professional in that I sell the products I make. It is still a hobby because I spend more money than I bring in. But at least my addiction is legal, and subsidized by the craft shows I do.

Limited tools or not, that is a cool looking rack. It’s not always how well you build it as the idea behind it.

Thank you all for the kind words.

You can find a ton of nice household projects in this section made with nothing more than a table or circular saw a router and some glue. Plus you are inspiring others to do something similar which is what the hobby is all about.

The rack is new but the wood gives it charter, great job. I started the same way with pallets. The work is ripping them apart. The best you-tube on this is Issy Swan’s pallet jack. A must watch. After I made my first PJ with a pine handle it didn’t last the next handle was oak it lasted a little longer.. Then I found a hickory sledg hammer handle ( the best ) I am really ripping the pallets up. No more than ten minutes to complete tear apart.
Be advised after you start stacking wood the honey do list gets longer! The up side is I made two work tables , and two fold up tables for my shop.
Great hobby & fun

Thanks for the tip Michael. I know I’ve watched this video but went to one of the Ironsmithing shops in the area and made one similar which saves me time and wood. I guess it is just a matter of time until I’ll get more power tools (right now I have only a cheap drill and a Orbit Sender), and be able to make things easier and concentrate more on the creation rather then the time and efforts of using hand tools.

I know what you mean. I go to estate sales all the time a great place to pick tools.
You will be surprised at what you can fing, most in my garage is second hand
I pick up two tenon saws for 1$ each. They were very rusty. I will post on my site how I cleaned them up easy.
Good hunting

Thanks again Michael.

Isaaq this is a great looking rack. Always remember that you should get enjoyment out of the process and fulfillment out of the end result. As long as you are doing both of those things, it doesn’t matter what tools you have or what techniques you use, the beauty will shine through!

Thanks Tooch. You are absolutely right, But as an artist (photographer) I’ve learned to be better by always seeking higher and better. But nevertheless always enjoy what I do is the issue of doing art in the process.
