large wine rack, what do you think?

[curtis rosche]

heres a winerack that i made. i needed a shop project and my dad needed a wine rack, . i didnt use plans from anywhere, i made them myself. its made of ash, i used a 3inch forestner bit to drill the holes, then cut them in half, used the router table to make the shoulders, used a half inch mortise 5/8ths deep (the mortiser smoked A LOT!). two 1.25inch screws in bothe ends. 6ft tall, 36inches wide, 9 bottles per shelf, 14 shelves. the front shelves are routered. i ordered a little to much wood, and then when i was making it i didnt use some of what i thought i was, i had ordered 60ft at $4bdft, thankfully i didnt pay the bill, and my dad is getting a second one with some ajustments. overall the total was around $300, for the shipping, 3 inch bit and wood. how does it look? any thing that should be changed?

Excellent work, Curtis!!!!

When you "install" it with your dad, make sure you put in anti-tipping support at the back to insure it stays in place as the weight of the bottles shift around.

yepp, we did, we also put 2ft feet on it so that it can tip. then i climbed on top just to make sure:D:p. it holds well, there was no wobble, the only problem was that some of the bigger white wine bottles didnt fit side by side, because i drilled the holes right next to eachother, i'll remember for next time

Excellent job with all that duplication of detail on each slot. A young man with patience... congratulations as that is a rare bird anymore.

Very nice work from stem to stern... Keep up the excellence......

Very nicely done Curtis! We all learn a little about design as we design our own projects. Very nicely done!

Nice job on the wine rack Curtis. Make sure to give us a pic when you have it finished and filled with wine....

[John Thompson]

Exactly what I meant Curtis.. repetiveness requires patience as there are probably other things we would rather be doing than duplicating over and over and over. If you ever do a set of chairs.. you will really know how patience is a virtue. ;)
