Introduction: Reclaimed Pallet Wine Rack
Hello Instructables,
This is my first project, so please be gentle about the critics. I made a wine rack for 1 bottle and 4 glasses.
Materials:
2 x 12 cm x 110 cm wood (reclaimed from old pallets)
2 x 12 cm x 10 cm wood (reclaimed from old pallets)
Black paint (I used spray paint but any kind of paint is OK)
Tools:
Saw (I used table saw and jigsaw, but what you have is OK)
Drill
Sander
Clamps
Step 1: Measure, Clean and Prepare the Wood
Cut and sand all your pieces of wood. You do not need to make detailed sanding, its just need for cleaning the dirt of a used pallet.
Step 2: Make the Hole for the Bottle and Glasses
Make the hole with 38 mm drill bit. It almost fits with most of the bottles.
I used 25 mm drill bit for glass holders and open a 15 mm way for the glasses (unfortunately I forgot to take pictures)
Step 3: Assembly
Make the assembly. Pre-drilling holes will help to make better assembly.
Clamps are great helpers for exact fittings.
Step 4: Sanding
Before painting sanding is the most important part.
I used 60, 120,180 and 240 grd sand paper. Better way to understand its enought to make sanding is draw a line with a pencil and sand until it dissepears.
Sand until you have a soft, silky touch on the wood.
Step 5: Painting and Finishing
I used black spray paint to finish the wine rack. I paint for the first coat, let it dry for one and paint the second coat.
Wait for 24 hours to dry and make a smooth sanding with 240 grd sand paper (with hand not with the power tool)
Step 6: Hang and Enjoy
Hang your wine rack to the wall and enjoy it.
