I’ve made a few wine racks in my life, and this one has been by far the hardest to get right! I made mine out of cardboard first to make sure they were even size-wise before cutting them on the bandsaw then sanding down any rough edges.įun fact: you use double the amount of diamonds as boards because each one covers two panels so plan accordingly when making your board cuts hours earlier. This is the fun part! You can get creative with different shapes and styles, but they should be built in a diamond configuration. This is to ensure that they last as long as possible while not attracting pests or pets like my dog who thinks anything white must taste delicious! Step 3: Making The Diamonds If you have four minutes in between, that’s all it takes for one coat! Once that dries (give it an hour), then apply another layer and let dry overnight before moving onto step three. The first coat should go on relatively quickly because you don’t want the wood grain showing through too much, so I would use a brush rather than spray painting. The boards are going to be painted with a primer and then will need two coats of paint. Then, using a pencil attached to the end of a tape measure, you’ll mark off the cutting line on the boards.

So you are going to measure out two-by-fours at an inch thick and cut them into twenty pieces just shorter than the width of my table saw blade plus one additional piece because you always need at least one extra board in case there are any issues during cutting (so they’re 21″ long).

You want it to be sturdy so that it doesn’t topple over when you put something heavy or tipsy like my wife after learning how to open wine bottle without opener last summer. This will allow for a wine bottle per row on each shelf, which leaves me with five shelves total.
