Here are some of my finished projects, the wine racks, and a room project that is still on going. I actually got into wood working because I am a homebrewer, and once I bought a house, I started turning one of our rooms into a wine storage room. Can't call it a cellar because I don't have temperature and humidty regulation, though the temperature of the room does not exceded 68. I can't afford the price of rack kits, so I built my own. I unfortunately did not take pictures while building the racks.
All the bottles you see in here are of wine and mead that I have made. My wife is the one that put in the vinyl floor. It is called Moraccan Slate. I did all the painting in the room. The wall was painted using a sponge for the top, darker, coat. The two wooden wine bin are ones I built. The wine rack on the wall is a metal grid rack that I ordered.
These are the very first wood working pieces I made. It is 1x12 pine using basic butted joints and screws. Each cabinet can hold atleast 72 bottles of wine. I stained the first cabinet, but didn't stain the second one after seeing the not so good job I did staining.
One of my next pieces is the table that you see over the small refrigerators. This is my brewing work bench. I built this out of 2x12 joined together with 2x4, with 2x10s on the back. This is where I put my containers that are actively fermenting. The box is shielding a clear jug called a carboy. The curtain is a light blocking curtain. The cabinet next to it is one of my latest pieces. Again made from 1x12 pine. The top and bottom are butted, but the shelves are set in dadoes that I cut using my router, and then everything screwed together. Most of what is in this rack is home made beer. You then see the edge of another heavy curtain. That is the closet that I keep brewing equipment in.
Now this one took me forever. The uprights are 6' 1x4s, the shelves are made from 4' 1x4s and 1x2s for the bottle seperators. Made from pine. By this time, I had figured out how to stain. This rack holds 108 bottles. And no, you don't have to point out that some of the shelves are not quite straight. This as my third or fourth wood working project.
This wall is where I am going to build and place some kind of table top cabinet that will be my decanting and serving table, will hold a couple of cases of wine in one part, a drawer to hold wine serving stuff, and some shelves underneath to store my decanters. I will get some nice hardwood from a lumber specialty store that I recently found in my area to build this cabinet from.
As I make more wine, I will most like be redoing some of my cabinets, replacing them with bigger ones and such.
