 Posted: Wed Apr 07, 2004 5:03 am Post subject: Wine Rack Plans? |
 |
|
Does anyone have a free winerack design I can check out? What I'm looking
to do is have it hold about 40 bottles of wine. I would like to actually go
all out and have the upper part of the rack have a section where it will
hold wine glass hung upside down.
I may be asking a little much so if nobody has something of this nature
does anyone know of software I can use to design something myself?
Thanks in advance,

I just posted a couple of photos of my wine rack on APBW. The design is my
own, but you may copy it. I don't have plans available, but I've considered
making up a set and selling them. What do you think a fair price would be?
Much time was spent in the layout and planning.
It can hold about 200 bottles but it is modular so you can add or subtract
to suite your needs.
I also have a wine refrigerator that holds 36 bottles. It was $139 at Home
Depot. I keep it at 55 degrees year round. Very handy.

Why troll such a specific question? Then again, why troll at all?

Oh my, I've offended you. I feel so bad about that.
It really is my wine rack. I really do have about 200 bottles in the rack
and another 12 gallons fermenting. My peak was about 300 bottles.
I really do have a wine refrigerator also. It is on a wood stand and sits
next to the rack.
Can't help you much with the wine glass thing. We have probably 50 or 60 of
them in different styles. I have a thing about nice stemware and will buy
two or four of a given style if a design strikes my fancy. Most are either
in the hutch or in the dry bar in the living room.
Knowing I was ill behaved today, I may not sleep well tonight. Nah, I always
do anyway.

You didn't offend me I'm just used to replies like that being sarcastic.
Why would you recommend me seeing a shelf with cardboard boxes filled
with bottles on a "woodworking" newsgroup. It obviously was not going to
help me with my original question about how to make a wood wine
rack/cabinet.

I brew only beer at the time but will be getting into wine making within
the next month or so. Problem is I have no place to put 30 bottles of
wine and keep them sitting at an angle. I figured I would make a
honeycomb design similar to this
http://www.diynet.com/diy/ww_shelves_cabinets/article/0,2049,DIY_14444_

but then went on the think I would like to make a nice cabinet which
contains a wine glass hanging section.

For simple things like a wine rack I find that Visio is a great design tool.
It wasn't created for furniture design is simple to use. There are no 3D
capabilities but I think that it works fine.
If no one comes up with links for plans, I could measure some of mine.

Ed, you been leavin' the door open, and lettin' in too tight people
again?
Personally, I thought your wine rack was very creative, well though
out, and expressed your true capabilities as a woodworker. Some people
just can't see your sensitive side at all. Your only mistake was, you
should have taken the pictures after you applied the finish, not before.
That must have been what confused him. Don't worry, the rest of us are
all proud of you, ya done good.

You might look on the New Yankee Workshop site. I seem to remember Norm
building a pretty nice one back some time ago. The sell the plans and video
to boot.

Oh yes, but I am being of help. You plan to make 30 bottles of wine then
stop until it is aged and drunk? Probably not. You need an area for bulk
storage of quite a bit. If you make two whites and two reds, that is 120
bottles. Sure you may pick at it, but it will not really be ready to drink
for 12 to 24 months. You need a place to keep the wine as close to ideal
conditions as you can. Not a fu-fu rack that looks pretty in an area of the
house that is too hot to keep wine. I see racks all the time in kitchens;
probably the absolute worst room of the house to keep it.

Looks pretty. If you have a good place to keep the wine in a temperature
controlled environment, it may be OK. If it is for show, that is OK also
but you don't want to keep it long term in the wrong environment. If it is
for practicality, my rack works best. No one ever sees it; it is cost
effective; it is practical. All the wine I'm drinking comes from the
refrigerator that keeps it as close to ideal I can get (53 degrees)
considering I have a mix of white and red in it. Reds, or course I open a
while before consuming.

I did...that's why I thought it was trolled response. I asked a question
regarding a specific idea of making a nice wine rack and in reply I get
pictures of a beat wooden shelf covered in dust with cardboard boxes with
wine bottles in it...do you really think this was an appropriate response
to my originial question?

This wine rack I plan on making will be in my basement. I decided that if I
am going to spend time making a wine rack then I want to make a nice one or
else I can easily just put together a few boards and sit the bottles on it.
I brew my own beer and have 4 taps in the basement. For this reason I do
not need anymore than 30 bottles of wine. It's pointless to me since it
will take some time to drink even those 30 bottles. I enjoy drinking wine
in restaurants more than sipping at my home and there are very few BYOB's
around my area...maybe 2 or 3. Most wines do not need aged for 2 years to
drink...6 months to 1 year is a little more inline.

I was debating on trying that and seeing what types of "shapes" they have
for something of this nature. I use Visio 2003 for all of my infrastructure
drawings at my job so I have this readily available. Thanks!

I would greatly appreciate that. Do you have links to pictures of yours?

That rack is pretty nice! I will see what other replies I get and possibly
try this. The only problem is it's been a long time since I've done any
woodworking projects and this one seems pretty complicated. Then again with
the plan AND a video I can't see messing too many things up. :)
Thanks
