Wine Rack Plans

Wine Rack Plans

Since nearly all bottled wine gets better with age, wine enthusiasts want an easy method to store their wine bottles. Below you will find some free wine rack plans for a decidedly simple wall-mounted bottle storage rack that beautifully displays your wine collection.

We describe several layouts and wine rack dimensions to help you utilise all your available wall space for your wine rack plans to begin.

The wine rack plans will utilise efficient use of materials; and you will not believe that you will be able to to securely hold so many bottles with so little wood.

To build wine rack from my wine rack plans correctly you will need all of these materials first.

Wine Rack Plans - Material List

Item #1. wood. the amount will vary based on the shape and size of the wine rack plans you choose to make. with a board 3/4" x 6" x 39" (20 x 150 x 1000mm) you can make two racks that hold 6 bottles each.

Item #2. finishing oil or just use paint with primer

Item #3. mounting screws (length and type vary dependent on the wall you are mounting to). refer to the wine rack design consideration section at the end of this plan for more details.

Wine Rack Plans - Tool List

table saw - drill press and 1 1/2" diameter drill bit - bandsaw - jigsaw or scrollsaw - sandpaper - drum sanding attachment for drill press or spindle sander - optional router with rounder bit.

Wine Rack Plans - Mounting The Wine Rack

To utilise these wine rack plans for your wall mounted wine rack design, you need to firmly fasten it to the wall or other rigid surface. Finding wall studs would be ideal, but using toggle bolts is as good. If you have plaster, or brick walls, use the appropriate fasteners. If you want to hide the screw heads (nails will probably not be strong enough) you should drill a counterbore to recess the screw head below the surface of the wood; you can cover these holes with plugs later on.

Wine Rack Plans - Layout

There are many wine rack plans - wine rack dimensions - layouts -  that you can employ to build wine rack differently to maximise the bottle-holding capacity to your wall space. You can arrange several of these racks in parallel orientation or in contrasting angles. See the images on the margin for some options: use your imagination.

Wine rack Plans - Wine Rack Design Consideration

This wine rack is very versatile and can handle several alterations and customisations.

dimensions

Thickness: We use a standard board for our wall wine rack, and stability is not an issue as long as it is safely fastened to your wall. We would not recommend you use thinner stock, but thick stock is acceptable. You might need to test the thickness by drilling a hole in some scrap wood and testing how the bottles react. Width: The distance between the center line of the holes and the wall should be at least 2" so that most standard size wine bottles will fit. You use larger dimensions to handle larger size wine bottle diameters. Using wider boards is not at all necessary and very wasteful. Length:You can increase or decrease on the length that we used. Make sure that you have enough width so you can mount the wine rack to the wall. Distance between holes: Place your holes 6" apart. I have tested many different wine rack dimensions for these wine rack plans, and discovered that 6" was the best by far.

materials

Try using cherry wood because you might have some left over to make a diy wine rack. Just about all types of wood is suitable. You shouldn't stray from wood though because it is very tough and strong and will be best for the job, yet soft enough so that you will not have to worry about scratching or breaking the wine glass bottles.

shape

When you are choosing your pattern, keep in mind that you may want to minimise the interior radii to the size of your smallest sanding drum. If you can't get into those spaces with a power sanding device, the sanding step will be a lot more time-consuming. Please understand that you can use a simple rectangular piece for this project; it would be much easier to make but will use unnecessary material. The wave pattern shown in the margin may be attractive, but since it is not symmetrical, the opposing piece of wood would not have a matching pattern, so there would be a lot more wasted material.

finishing

Now that your Wine Rack Plans have all come together nicely for your wine rack there are just a few more things to get done.With all of your pieces sanded, they are ready for a finish. Try using a stain and follow with a polyurethane. I like the antique oil which is an oil/ varnish blend consisting of mineral spirits, oil, and a spar varnish. After painting it on with a brush and waiting for about 5 to 10 minutes, I wiped off all the excess with a very clean rag,then I just let it dry overnight and repeated the exact process three more times to make it richer.

So I hope this will help with your endeavours of making that beautiful wall wine rack form scratch with my easy to follow Wine Rack Plans.Good luck and enjoy your wine sensibly...
