What happens here

Construct the wine rack's internal diamond pattern. Start by cutting multiple strips of wood to the specified length (54 inches tall) and angle (45 degrees). These strips are then assembled into a grid, forming the characteristic diamond pattern for wine bottle storage. For stability and to prevent bottles from falling through, two layers of this diamond pattern are created and offset from each other. Wood glue is applied at all joints, and once dry, the entire structure is clamped together and further secured with screws. Each piece must be labeled to ensure correct placement due to subtle variations in the cut or the cabinet's dimensions.

Goal: Create the internal diamond grid for wine bottle storage.

Tools and materials

  • Dado Stack — Cutting slots for interlocking pieces
  • Drill/Driver Ryobi — Driving screws to secure joints
  • Rubber Mallet — Gently tapping pieces into place
  • Table Saw — Cutting wood strips to length and 45-degree angles
  • Wood Clamps — Holding pieces together during glue drying and screwing
  • Screws — Reinforcing glued joints
  • Wood Glue — Securing all joints
  • Wood Strips — Creating the diamond pattern grid

Before I start figuring out exactly how the wine rack is going to look and it has to look nice. Like you can't just be a bunch of shelves. So it has to have a little bit of a flavor to it. I need to start building a carcass for it. So it's going to be 13 inches deep, 54 inches tall. So basically this is like, I'll slice and dice this and make essentially balls. So where would we be if we didn't have pocket holes? Well, we'd probably use like biscuit joints, but it'd be such a longer build. You gotta wait for the glue to dry. God bless pocket holes. So here's the general idea. It's going to have this diamond shaped pattern that way wine bottles can go almost everywhere and it's kind of a cool design. The only thing I don't know is, I don't know how it's going to be supported on the back. So the bottle doesn't fall down. I'm going to do the front side first, put a rabbit cut in here or a dado cut, whatever you want to call it. And then on here as well halfway through and then it'll snap into place. And then we'll start figuring out the back. That's future Alex's problem. Okay, so it's actually not as intimidating as I thought it would be. It's all the same size. They're all 45 degree angles, except for two pieces here. They're a little bit shorter, but all in all, it's pretty simple. I got everything aligned. Now I have to do is put a rabbit cut in there on both sides so they could slide. And this will allow for the bottle of wine to be perfect inside. So let me get my dado stack and we'll start chopping them up. This is the only tricky part is, you got to remember to label them because even though they're the same length and the same angle, the proximity is different. So I had to go and label them all one through 10. And hopefully they all line up. Put a dab of wood glue, press it in and because everything is nice and tight here, this carcass is essentially gonna be told to clamp. Like you mean? Absolutely flawless. It's so picture perfect tight and symmetrical all in. I gotta make one more of these because I think what I'm gonna do is not to screw anything up and take the easy route. I think I'm gonna lift this up maybe two inches off the back and then create another one of these here. So the wine bottle will have back support and front support. And it'll look so pretty. All right, I got the second one done. The second one went so much faster because I actually had something that all the kinks worked out already.
