The build

We start by jointing, crosscuting, ripping, and planing the pieces to final dimensions

And we end up with a few stacks of wood - we label each stack, otherwise, we'll lose track. There's quite a few little pieces - some with very similar, but different dimensions.  I've learned the hard way to keep track of the pieces for this kind of project.  Sometimes, I put a piece of tape on the piece and write it's name on it.  On other projects, I might just write something in an inconspicuous spot, like on a tenon.  In this case, I keep the stacks separated and put a tag on each stack.

Via the pantorouter and slot mortiser, we cut all of the mortises and tenons.

The bottle supports all get beveled where the bottles will sit on them.

Then, it's off to do some sanding before we glue it up.  The thickness sander makes it a simple task...

Ready for glue up!

Those pantorouter/slot mortiser joints are so nice and fast to make.  All of these joints are 1/4" x 3/4" which makes set up a breeze.

We first glued up the sides, let it sit for an hour or so, then glued up the rails

The next evening, we finished up gluing on the bottle supports.  Everything on this project was glued - no mech fasteners anywhere.

After a couple coats of water base poly, a nice little Christmas present is complete!  Good job Buddy!

Not so good, huh?

Ah yes. Much better!
