free plans: how to make a Wine Rack |
|
Basic Description | Since most wine gets better with age, wine enthusiasts need a method to store their bottles. Below you
will find a free plan for a remarkably simple wall-mounted bottle storage rack that attractively displays
your collection. We describe several layouts to maximize
the use of available wall space. The design employs efficient use of materials; you won't believe that
you can securely hold so many bottles with so little wood. |
Materials | wood, mounting screws, finishing oil. A complete material list is provided below. |
Tools | table saw, bandsaw or jigsaw or scrollsaw, drum sander or oscillating spindle sander (if you plan to surface rough boards you will also need a jointer and surface planer). A complete tool list is provided below. |
Cost | The plan itself is free! Estimated cost of materials: $7 |
Time | 3 hours |
Difficulty | Moderate |
