Wine Rack

Looks nice che. Youre a lot farther along than i was on my first project! I think my first project was a cinder block with a piece of raw plywood sitting on top for a nightstand….lol

Simple, but functional and well done. I see many projects in your future….

I had a bit of a head start. I’m an engineer who has done some detail design work for some aluminum boats. Designing every piece of aluminum that goes into a 60M ship teaches you to think about things really go together. I also had a good wood shop in high school and have done quite a bit of woodworking to restore a couple of boats with a friend of mine. Table saws aren’t as useful when there are no straight lines. lucally modern marine epoxy likes a little gap :)

I have a bit of a thing for form following function. I see a lot of craftsman and craftsman inspired pieces in my future…

I’ve taken up to a year to finish something that had less detail than that. Congrats! You’re a speed builder!

Nice idea che, it’ll look good when you’re done. jockmike

che, it look like you did a good job. It sounds like your daughter was waiting on you getting that table saw before she came into the world.

from one engineer to another engineer….good work. Don’t let the 6 months bother you, we all understand the numerous things that come up and interfere with a woodworking project in the course of a year. Congrats on the wine rack, and the new saw!!

Well done!

Why did you create the v-shelf, instead of adding two other shelfs instead? I am just curious if it was for artistic consideration, or holds more wine, or ?

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

A little of both. We generally buy our “every day” wine by the case. The V holds that (all the bottles are the same). The other spaces hold the wines given as gifts, special bottles and odd ball etc. bottles. As you can see the V is empty. We haven’t re-stocked since my wife was pregnant.

Thanks for asking. I welcome constructive critisism, suggestions etc. Maybe we could have a tag or area to post plans or projects for critique.

I think this wine rack turned out great and a very functional piece of furniture too. I like the color contrast. I have given up on self imposed deadlines. The family always comes first. The main point is the finshed product no matter how long it takes.
