QSWO Wine Tower

So the neck of the bottle goes into the hole and the body of the bottle hangs on the outside of the tower, right? I haven’t seen one like that before. Then I guess they can put glassware or decorative items on the shelves themselves.

Just make sure to warn them about the potential for tipping if they load one side more than the other, since the weight of the bottles will be on the outside of the supporting area (if I understand your design correctly).

The internalized neck supports are a great design addition and should help in both longevity and holding ability of the piece. Great addition there.

Cool project for sure!

You do understand the concept, Jonathan, and thanks for the kind words.

Yeah: this project should almost come with an owner’s manual ! Luckily, he’s an engineer, so … he’s probably already running a load calc spreadsheet, or something, but … you’re right about the potential risks.

Realistically, I should buy the requisite 20 bottles of wine (no reason NOT to !), and—when the finish is all dry—find out what kind of tippy it is, so I can let him know.

And … yeah … glassware, corkscrews, and even larger (than standard 750ml) bottles on the interior shelves.

Thanks again !

Hello NBeener

I agree with Jonathan, your friend will be careful because we can’t accept that He can break a bottle of wine !!!!!

An original project

Nice looking piece. In medieval times, you would have been in great demand to build multi-level stocks… ;0)

Job done, and you made a good job.
Some people will be really happy!
What is important are to keep the focus ahead – even I made a mistake once, no twice I think (a day, at least)...
