Fill the nails holes with wood filler and sand with a medium to fin sanding paper. Finally attach the side slats spacing the bottom and top slats 3/4″ apart. 😉 Attach the bottom to the two sides using wood glue and reinforcing with brad nails. Glue the the stem shelves just under the line and reinforce with a brad nailer. Start by marking down 5 1/2″ from the top of the side panel.ĭraw a line across the panel to align the stem shelves evenly on both sides. Next Attach the stemware shelves to the opposite sides of the side panels. Then using a jig saw or band saw cut into the piece toward the opening created by the spade bit. Clamp the board to your work station and drill into the piece with the 3/4″ spade bit.
You will be making a key hole cut to create the stem shelf. To gauge if you’ve drilled down far enough the width when you attach the sides to the handle should be 5 1/4.” Drill the 2 holes for the handle into the side panels about 1/2″ deep with the 3/4″ spade. Cut the side profile of the side panels by turning the miter saw at 45 degrees and extending the each panel to the 1.5″ mark on the miter saw gauge. I would also recommend pre-staining or painting the wood prior to getting started but this is totally optional. I hate having to vigorously sand down a completed piece because I failed to sand down the wood in the beginning.
This makes the process a lot smoother in the end….literally. Start off by sanding down the cut wood pieces. OK you know the deal people, Let’s Get Dirty! 😉 These are also inexpensive costing less than $10. Handmade gifts often make the best gifts because of the thought and effort put into the craft. And while wine caddies are great for entertaining, these also make the perfect handmade gifts. This DIY project makes it super easy to carry your favorite bottle of wine and two wine glasses to the picnic or outside to your patio. If you’re a wine lover and you enjoy going to outdoor events as well, or simply lounging on your patio with a guest enjoying your favorite glass of wine, this is the perfect project for you. I myself enjoy going to outdoor concerts with my girlfriends in the summer and bringing food and wine. It’s picnic season! And summers in the DMV (Washington, DC) area are always filled with outdoor concerts and festivals, encouraging attendees and guests to lounge and set up these fabulous picnic sites, eating all sorts of delectable food and drink LOTS of wine.
