Monty Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) If you can find the thread, our own Drew Hierwarter did a similar project for his Model Master 1/2 oz bottles a short time ago. IIRC he routered holes part way through the bottom slats to keep the bottles from tipping over. Just a thought...

Clemi Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Wow, really nice. I think I have to go to the hardware store tomorrow... Do you just glued it together or did you used small nails/screws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragcarz Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'm impressed, and your a great inspiration for my 10 year old daughter, she's taking guitar lessons and we build model cars. I share your posts with her, are you really 60? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Don't take this the wrong way, CG... but nice rack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyGirl Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 yeppers , 60 and a rock & roller guitar picker and tell your daughter that girls can do anything and everything !!!! George I used 1/4 thick poplar ,, the small bottle rack I cut the strips 1 5/8 for the step and 1 1/8 for the riser and just used glue ,, the large bottles same wood just 1 3/4 step and same riser , very easy to make ,,,, why thank you Harry on both counts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagercr Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Very nice job! I have two girls who would build with me. Don't forget girls rule and boys drool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgflatliner Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 see if it was something i built, it'd be unlevel, different types of woods, and the dimensions wouldn't be correct. in seriousness, the racks look good (THE PAINT RACKS...) so i may build something similar. the only other thing i think would make it even better is if you had a really small diameter rod going horizontally across where it prevents the bottles from tipping over.

charlie8575 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Girl plays guitar,knows how to work with wood and woodworking tools and the kicker.....she builds model cars.Are you married ? Anne can you give up the dimensions and type of wood you used,I really like that paint rack and want to do one like it. Why can't I find a girl my age like this? Builder, musician...and a very good wood-worker. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC he routered holes part way through the bottom slats to keep the bottles from tipping over. Just a thought... Thanks for the plug. I built mine back in 2006 when we moved into the new house and I did an article on it for that "other" magazine. Mine was a combination paint rack and tool holder. But frankly, I like Anne's much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Nice craftsmanship Anne. I wish I could be that neat with my paints. Oh and my wife says you are probably not even a girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Very nice work. My paint rack is similar but not as well done. I keep the bottles in numerical order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
