Furbz Posted December 19, 2018 Share Mmmmmm a dedicated wine room..... One day when I am big..... As a side note we just took delivery of our grown up Christmas presents. One mixed case from Platform 62 in Ashton and another mixed case from Lacotte Wines in Franschoek. we just cordoned off an area with standard glass from showers.its only after this was done i found out how much of a rip off custom wine installs are. so now i need help either doing it myself or finding a keen woodworker willing to take on the project Ed-Zulu, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Grebel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furbz Posted December 19, 2018 Share What about getting some of those "wine bricks" that you can get from most builders merchants? its a nice idea, just not very efficient on a wine bottle to area ratioi have limited space to work with... its also sort of a feature room so i feel wood would make for the best finish Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Rocket-Boy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of storing them like this. Obviously not the most efficient use of space but it allows you to easily see the labels and show off your collection.

For something that you can probably get done for ~5k at your local steel facricator, and put up yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stefmeister Posted December 19, 2018 Share oh thats magical.i saw something very similar at decorex. stunning and simplistic.but at over R100k for my little room it was a total laughR100k might be excessive depending on what it includes. But if you ask your local timber supplier for pricing on solid wood, you’d quickly realize it doesn’t come cheap. You can work on cost of materials plus that sum times 2 for labour. That’s what kitchen cupboard installers charge for something a bit more complicated than building lego.

Grebel Posted December 19, 2018 Share exactly.its the same with any decent wooden option.i fully understand that wood is not cheap. but it seems as soon as you mention wine the price triples If you are going to go steel, get it drawn up on CAD (some of the laser guys offer a drawing service at a small fee), and get the brackets laser cut and you can do the powdercoat/paint and assembly? If you want timber, another option is getting the brackets cut on a CNC router. You just source and supply the timber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamS2 Posted December 19, 2018 Share exactly.its the same with any decent wooden option.i fully understand that wood is not cheap. but it seems as soon as you mention wine the price triplesI had a 400 bottle rack built into my last Joburg house. Price was not terrible. I'll try dig out the guys number for you over the weekend. Similar style to this, but not components. With your room layout you should consider doing the main wall as a display unit, and the other 2 walls as storage/aging racks Edited December 19, 2018 by GrahamS2 Furbz and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoffel76 Posted December 19, 2018 Share OK, so I've never been any good at woodwork, but I was doing a repair on something at home and had an offcut of wood and so made this for my son: First time since school days that I've made anything out of wood... It's super simple, being basically 2D, but the wheels are wide enough apart so it stands on its own and my boy loved it and took it everywhere with him!

Stretched@Birth Posted December 19, 2018 Share anyone in JHB be interested in doing a wine display cabinet for me?20180825_1446315.jpg20180825_1446173.jpg20180825_1446055.jpg20180825_1446403.jpgScreenshot 2018-12-19 at 08.01.24.pngMany options here, all depends on the look you’re going for and budget. The folks at Riverwoods made some really nice units for our basement cellar: https://www.riverwoods.co.za/wine-racks More budget oriented, have a chat with Karl at Shelf Space: https://shelfspace.co.za He will be able to do something similar to this: If you’re not in a hurry, and can wait till the laser shops open up again, I’d build something like this, with laser cut bottle cradles: Here’s a simple wood option, with some subtle led backlighting, could look really nice. As I say, many options, search Pinterest, decide which look you like and what suits your home, and then take it from there.

Simple, effective, cheapish. For the display rack, this orientation is superb. Edited December 20, 2018 by Cptmayhem Furbz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
