I recently followed your video and made one, thanks so much for sharing how you did this. Your instructions were excellent and easy to follow. Its one of my first wood working projects and I have learnt loads in the process.
Amazing, I am so glad I was able to inspire you. I am planning to make an updated video as I have tweaked the dimensions slighly, but mostly for shipping purposes...
Thank you for the compliment! It’s really a pretty straight forward build. Good luck and let me know how it goes. If you need to ask me any questions don’t hesitate to DM me!
Excellent, clean presentation. ( even with that pesky nail gun :-) Best editing I’ve seen in a long time. Pre stain ? What did you use ? Same as final ? Thank you. Yes , I’d like to see more practical items like this.
For the pre stain I just use a mix from min wax or varathane for example. You can also make your own if you want to get creative. But make sure to match up whatever you use with the type of stain (water based or oil based).
@@scotchinhandmillwork so a mix of finish product with stain color (same base) This seals and second coat of stain is a more consistent color on pine ? Second coat will adhere over first coat of 50% finish product?
I would do a light coat of pre stain. Let that dry. Then apply your preferred stain. It can be an all in one stain (stain + poly) or you can apply the stain first. Once dried then apply polyurethane. Always follow manufacturer recommendations at first until you get the feel for it. And always test on scrap pieces before doing anything on the finished work piece.
Really enjoyed watching you put this together. Lots of great tips. It appears that the top sets of slats aren't actually usable? Am i missing something?
Yes the top slats are just for show to keep everything as symmetrical as possible. Thanks for watching. I’m planning to make an update video in the near future as I have modified the design a bit 👍
Sorry this is late, but I used 1-1/4" nails. Make sure to set your compressor regulator pressure and do some tests to see how deep your sinking the heads. Thanks for watching!
The only measurement I was able to capture was 2” x 1/2” x L? How long are the fronts/aprons? 15 1/8”? Since the top is 16 1/8” allowing for 1/2” overhang on each side? Is this correct?
Yes you are correct on some of them. I’m all about maximizing materials and not being wasteful. So some of my scrap I cut across the grain which is not ideal. However with it being glued and nailed on either end and it’s not holding any real loads it’s ok.
Hey everyone thanks for watching! Let me know if you went ahead and made this and how my video helped if at all!

Awesome work man. Moms been begging for me to build her one. Will definitely have to try.

This is beautiful work. I’m surprised it hasn’t gotten more views
I appreciate the kind words and feed back!

Nice work👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
Thank you for the inspiration!
No problem! I’m glad you got something of watching it!
Thank you for sharing!!
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching.

What is the distance between the vertical slats in the jig?
3-1/4”
Beautiful! What’s the measurements on the initial wood?
Thanks man! I think all in all I used about 4’ of a 1x12. Hope this helps.
@@scotchinhandmillwork and for the legs, 4- 8 footers?
I’m not sure I understand the question? I used about 4’ total for everything to make it.
How long are the fronts?
The fronts are 10.5” long for the 10 bottle version. 15.375” for the 15 bottle version
9:06-9:15 is confusing since we do not know the length of these legs. What is the spacing from one slate edge to another?
The length of the legs is about 24.75 with a vertical spacing of around 3.5” between them. I hope this helps! 👍
Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome. Let me know if you have any other questions.
What length of nails did you use?

@@qwaj6985 my top came out 16 inches after sanding down and after spacing each slat 2 5/8ths I came out to 15 1/2 in Fronts. Worked great
It looked like you cut the slats across the grain. That can't be right.
I thought the same thing
