Of all of the Home & Garden project we ’ve make and featured on the blog over the years , there is petty doubt that our DIY wine rack have been one of the more popular .
Especially each twelvemonth as the vacation time of year rolls around , and folks look to make that “ thoroughgoing ” homemade giving for someone special . Or perhaps , maybe even for their own home !
We build up our very first wine stand way back in 2013 . Using pallet wood and a slab of live edge wood , it went together in a single day . And it promptly became one of our favored piece of “ furniture ” in the house.(See : Building A Classic Wine Rack From Pallets )
At the time , we did n’t realize just how popular it would become with friends and phratry too . So democratic , in fact , we began building them as gifts . It really is a merriment project to create , and one in which you could allow your creativity go free .
Over the years , using the same simple building cognitive process , we have craft DIY wine-coloured racks of all sizes . And out of all sort of wood as well , including cerise , oak tree , pine , walnut , barn woodwind and more .
Although they look elegant and complex , they are really quite easy to build and get together . good of all , it ’s well-situated to personalize the sizing and element to any stand . With the dim-witted “ ladder ” style building , you may easily adjust the size , all while create wine glass holders , shelves and more .
As for shaft , all you need is a board saw , a miter / chop adage , and a small nail shooter . In fact , you could even forgo the table go through if you want to purchase the wood to size .
Here is a smell below at how we build one of our favorites , a classic 20 bottle / 12 wine-coloured shabu rack . We did place these plans in our Etsy computer memory for those that want staring step by whole step plan : DIY wine-colored RACK PLANS
Creating A Classic 20 Bottle / 12 Glass DIY Wine Rack
A few twelvemonth back , we amount up with our go - to wine rack as a natural endowment for friend and kinsfolk . With a 20 nursing bottle capacity , it ’s enough to hold a modest collection of wine-colored . But even safe , it holds 12 standard red or blank vino glass too !
The fill out rack measures 19 - 1/4″ wide x 12″ cryptic , x 36 - 1/2″ tall . Because of its smaller size , it make it slap-up for fitting into any quad . And good of all , it does n’t take much fabric to create .
In fact , you could work up the intact frame from just ( 6 ) standard 1 ” x 6 ” x 6 ’ board or the equivalent in board feet of any size lumber . It is of import to note that 1x ( 1″ ) timber is actually 3/4″ thick wood , which is perfect for the size and weight of the piece . ( Still not sure why we need to label lumber size so confusingly )
Using a table saw , you could quick rend down the 1 x 6′ plank into the legs , round , and the top and bottom framing rail you will need to create the rack . A chop shot / miter then cuts them all to length for assembly .
The main body of the wine wrack is make by construct a series of very ladders using the legs and rungs . Each ladder is made from ( 2 ) legs and ( 5 ) rungs , and sequester quick with a nail gun .
The ravel fit together with a top and bottom frame piece to make the stand . As they go together , the ladder spacing is set at 3.5″ , which is the perfect side for holding a standard 750ml wine-colored bottle . Even well , it is also the gross spacing for wine chalk too !
set a top above the ladders completes the entire piece . For attaching the top , we use either nail or “ L ” angle bracket to secure it all together . Using the same plans and method acting , you may easily adjust to make any wine wrack of any size and length .
One thing we love about the top is that it leaves so much way for personalizing . We use live edge , wood slabs , pine panels , metal and more to make all kinds of usage tops .
They really do make the perfect natural endowment . So much so that we have since made a tradition of giving one to each of our children when they move into their first flat or home . Kind of an sure-enough take on lapse down heirloom furniture so to speak !
Here is to create homemade gifts from the affectionateness , or maybe even a DIY wine-coloured wrack for your own home ! Happy Building – Jim & Mary .
