This bottle balancer is made from reclaimed redwood and a salvaged 1” birch dowel. The angle at the bottom is 40 degrees and the two dowels at the top are positioned at 30 degrees. It was a bit trickey to get the 1 1/4” notches to line up, the spacing just right and the 30 degree slant for the bottle. I decided to bore all the way through the redwood for glueing the dowels to add strength to the small side rail. There are two coats of varathane and a bit of Johnson’s floor wax.

Cheers,

This is nice to see. You have taken a design that everyone uses and think they have invented and changed it. Very unique and different I really like that.

TraumaJacques, Woodworkers are on this site to share as well as learn. I post these little projects so others can see that even the little fall off pieces of wood and thinking outside the box can be enjoyable projects. Use whatever you like and credit need not be except for pride in what you fashion with your own hands.

Very nice. It looks like you could extend the dowels and the base through the post and hang two bottles from it. Just be careful, you don’t want to break any of those bottles of “Two Buck Chuck”.

I like the wine holder. Good choice of wine. . . nothing beats a good bottle of “Two Buck Chuck”

Very nice design. I always love to see what comes out of the scrap-pile. Kind of like a phoenix rising out of the ashes!
