dene and i are going to this wine rack. bit small isn't it? it's not to actual size dene. i knew that, we are going to use this beautifuljarrah and for the side we are going to use this fantastic door we found at the demolitionyard. and also this amazing timber is ironbark andit's from the woolloomooloo wharf. the wharfs where built in 1910 so this timber is justabout to turn 100. ironbark is beautiful timber but it's veryhard so we had it dressed at a machine shop. the cost of the machining was less than $20and it will save us a lot of time and effort.
ok, dene lets look at the plan. right i thinkwe should cut the uprights first which is out of these. 40x19mm 790.. the circular saw is good and sharp so we geta good clean cut without splintering the ends. good, now the door. what you want me to leave? no i'm going to cut the door. oh of course. 2 perfect halves. can i leave you with that and i'll stain thedowels?
yeah no problem. good. we were lucky to find the door, the 2 halvesare perfect for the sides of the wine rack. i need to stain the tazzy oak to match thejarrah. the stain is messy and a ground sheet is mandatory. oh, and don't forget gloves and eye protection,it can splash a bit. you can do this by wiping it on with a cloth,but i prefer to use the brush. ok, well i reckon 1 coat is heaps, they lookgreat now let's go check how dene is going. all square and ready to drill.
we need to drill the holes and the outrightevery 120mm, so we are using a 20mm spade bit so the 19mm dowels will slide in easily. so our first piece here is the template andthat basically marks the holes on all the other ones. very clever dene. i thought so. and while dene is finishing off the drilling,i give the top a light sand to take of the sharp edges. after the material has been planed, the edgesof this very hard timber are potentially splinter
hazards so i need to fix that. but not the centre because that is where weglue and join it. ok, that's all nice and straight and the holesline up. should we put it together? oh yes, indeed. we need to thread the dowels through the frames,making sure they are set-up square, and then light nail the frames together. right, well the racks are done, all we haveto do now is drill, counter sink and screw them to the sides. we screw the end uprights to the hard doorand our wine rack starts to take shape.
drag that over there. yep. over we go! you right? yeah lovely. nice, nice. turn it around that way. mm mm hmm mm. ok, well that’s really starting to takeshape now. the 2 half doors work incredibly
well as the base for this whole thing really. so dene do you want to tip it down? we willput the top frames in and then we can ah, we are getting pretty close actually. with the sides on we can then screw the endand top frames. we don't want a back on the wine rack, becausethe air should be able to flow and circulate around the bottles. once we have the sides and inner frames inplace, we can attach the beautiful ironbark top. ok, now i'm going to glue and clamp the ironbarkso it won't need a lot because it's machined
beautifully. it fits perfectly, thank you sir we are going to put some 45mm screws in theunder side of the top once the glue is dry. we don't wanna spoil the look of the timber,with screw heads showing. ok, and down we go you got your clamps thereold buddy? absolutely. just line it up, that's good. well it works! of course it works dene, leave nothing tochance, that's what i say.
no, i mean yes but, did you bring the wine? actually i got one i prepared earlier. yeah? aaaawwwwwwwwwwwww!! so there we have it, a fairly simple projectand our very attractive woolloomooloo wine rack, will hold 30 bottles of wine. that's 2 and a half dozen. yes it is.
