Sometimes , simple can be elegant . A few years back , when we featured our large 60 bottle DIY vino rack built from pallets and previous b wood – we had a luck of followers email and call for if there was a way to make a small interlingual rendition .
The 20 Bottle Wine Rack
So , using much of the same methods in build the big rack – we created a mini version for today ’s DIY post . The wrack holds a small wine collection of 20 bottleful – and a curing of 12 wine glasses to kicking !
The 20 Bottle Wine Rack
The entire piece measures just 21″ wide x 11″ rich x 36″ high – and can be paint or stained to fit in with any decor .
Better yet – it can well be create in an afternoon from scrap lumber or pallets – for free ! This can make the gross Christmas giving for those friends and household who enjoy wine-colored !
instrument Used : For this project , we used a board saw , chop saw ( a jig byword or hired hand sawing machine can be used in place ) , nail torpedo and a paw drum sander .
The wine glass holder
Whether you are using Modern board , pallet wood or reclaimed lumber – you will want to check that your plank are somewhere between 3/4″ to 1″ thick . Any thinner , and the instrument panel may not be able to support the weight unit of the wine-colored .
The wine-colored glass holder
Any prominent – you will terminate up with a monster sized wine rack ! As for the quantity of wood need , you may create the intact stand from just a couple of 12″ wide x 6′ long boards , or a commixture of minor pieces if available .
For our project , we used salvaged pieces of 1″ rough - sawn oak tree .
Not only was it free – but the rocky sharpness of the woods make for a great rustic look .
One quick banker’s bill – if you project on staining or paint your wheel – do it BEFORE assembly . Trying to stain or paint all of the nooks and crannies make for a hard job once the single-foot is put together .
We used the table saw to quickly rip down the boards into 3/4″ strips
We used the table hear to quickly rip down the circuit card into 3/4″ strips
The wine stand is a basic forum of low ladders with rungs that are separated by 3.5″ of infinite – enough to well take for and stash away a stock 750ml vino bottle .
The ravel are then spaced 3.5″ apart as well , and are support together by attach a top and bottom board trim board to the front and back , and finish off with board for the top .
Much like our previous wheel , we started by cut the forest into 3/4″ wide strips with our table saw . These will make up the rungs .
Cutting the 2″ rails
If you do n’t want to cut the woodwind , or do n’t have access to a board saw – you may always purchase 3/4″ x 3/4″ slip of Sir Henry Wood from most lumber stores . It ’s a small more expensive – but can make quick oeuvre of the project .
Cutting the 2″ rails
Once the strips are cut , we used a chop saw ( you’re able to practice a jig proverb or hand go through as well ) to geld the rundle into 9″ length . You will require a total of ( 48 ) 9″ long landing strip to complete the rack .
Next , we again used the mesa get word to cut a few control panel into 2′ broad strip . These will make up the “ rails ” of the ladder and the top and bottom assembly pieces .
You will involve a total of ( 8) 2″ all-embracing x 36″ foresighted strips for the rail , and ( 4 ) 2″ full x 18.5″ long pieces for the top and bottom pieces .
you may make a 3.5″ “ cheater ” board to help keep the rungs spaced absolutely
All that is left is to burn a piece of Natalie Wood for the top . For ours , we used a 3/4″ thick board that measured 12″ wide x 23″ farsighted . This allowed for a squeamish overhang around the stand .
Now that you have all of your pieces cut – its time to gather ! set two rail plane , and make a mark 2″ from the bottom of your rail .
You can make a 3.5″ “cheat” board to help keep the rungs spaced perfectly
Using a nail gun ( you may also screw together ) – attach the first rung to each of the rails . The 2″ depart at the bottom allow for the passementerie display panel to attach without pretend the vino entrepot .
Next , from the top of the rung – measure up another 3.5″ and make a mark , and attach another rung , making sure to bequeath 3.5″ of place between the Grant Wood .
Finishing the back of one of the three double - sided ladders .
To make this sluttish , we used a rubbish piece of lumber cut to 3.5″ to make unadulterated spacing . Repeat this 3 more metre until you have five rungs on your first run .
Now it ’s time to add together the rung for the vino glass bearer . Measure up 32″ from the bottom of the runway ( where you attached vino rungs ) , and make a marking on each rail – and confiscate a last 9″ spoke .
Once you have your first ladder built – you will require to retell the process to make 4 more ladder just the same fashion .
Finishing the back of one of the three double-sided ladders.
At this full stop , to make it well-situated – you may utilise your first ladder as a guide for where to put the rung on each successive run you build . The two external ravel will only need one lot of rung facing in , and your middle 3 ladders will have rungs on each side .
you’re able to use the ravel organization to build all size and SHAPE of racks
Next comes attaching the top and bottom passementerie boards to the ladders . Starting with the bottom trim board , attach the end of the board to the outside sharpness of the first ladder segment , retell the process for the top plank .
Next , leave 3.5″ of quad between the first Seth of attached rail , and attach the next ladder . remain on and work across the objet d’art until you have all 5 of the ladders sail through in – realize sure the last run nails to far edge of the trim card .
Once the sections are together , all that is left is to attach the top piece – and your circle !
Happy Building ! – Jim and Mary
You can use the ladder system to build all sizes and shapes of racks
