Pallet Furniture, Show yours - Wine rack built.

[Grizz1963]

Had Nicola's daughter, Hannah over for the weekend, plan was bootfair this morning, but rain halted play.

SOOOOOO...... ??

Getting a bit stir crazy, she started talking about making furniture etc from pallet wood and various other bits of offcast timber.

So we went and rummaged around behind the garage, and inside the garage.

She identified a half a pallet and said that she wanted to make a wine rack from it.

After her explaining to me how it would work, I was none the wiser.... like me, she sees it in her head and would make it from that plan.

Of course I agreed, any excuse to get the tools out and make stuff.

Unfortunately I did not take a before photo of it on the pile, but halfway through this was the state of play.

Drilling the holes for the glass rack.





After she cleaned up the glass rack, she had a feel for the belt sander and started to partially sand back the pallet sides as well.



Final assembly.




And done.

Takes 12 bottles of varying size and glass rack made to accommodate tall glasses with ease.

Now she just needs to learn to drink wine.



Yes, I am both pleased and proud of Hannah.

Next weekend it is coffee tables and some other mad stuff.

Need to get her onto the lathe too.


I hope to see more examples.
