So last night I worked on my wine shelf project. I've got a little nook of the basement that's set back about a foot in the block wall and just a hair over 48" wide. I've got adjustable shelving rails anchored to the wall, and last night I started making pieces for shelves. I'm going to do two 48" rails with 3/4" slats on 3" spacing. I should be able to get 16 wine bottles/shelf; not sure yet how many shelves I can get, until I make at least two and measure the vertical spacing.
I had to stop because my table saw was making a lot of smoke for some reason. I think it was some thicker poplar that I was ripping down, or maybe the fence is not well aligned. I'll give it a shot again tonight or tomorrow and see if it still does it on the thinner pine boards I have.
This has been one of those projects that I get stuck on, and everything else kind of gets hung up because of it. It feels good to get started, and hopefully it will go much faster now that I am started. At 16 bottles per shelf, I already need like 5 shelves before I am caught up with what I have bottled, not to mention the Malbec and Port waiting to be bottled...
