Wine Rack Video
I don’t do this very often but some of you may not be members of my Woodworking Masterclasses and you might just miss this one. Some projects just grab me and this was one of them especially. I don’t copy the designs of others, ever, and this one is totally mine too.
I wanted something that incorporated good joinery well hidden with no apparent joints yet inside I wanted the integrity of well thought through joints built to last. I did it with this one. It’s the step by step that simplifies the processes and I walk you through those steps to success. To watch the whole you will need to join and pay but I think you will love it and learn from it in the package.
I watched through this twice, once to review the content and to make certain there were no glaring glitches and the second time just to enjoy the videography, the close ups and so on.

I’m already following the videos and I too would encourage everyone interested to join the masterclasses.
I really admire this particular design of yours, it’s just so well thought. And hopefully you’ll forgive me, because I sure am going to copy YOUR design and make a similar wine rack some day. I’m sure it will impress anybody in any place.
I’m a new member currently building my first ever project my workbench. The content and back catalogue alone is worth the monthly fee. Camera work and content of this quality doesn’t come cheap. I will be a member for a very long time. As long as Paul stays healthy and well is the main thing.
Plus, even if the wine rack doesn’t appeal to you, there’s techniques used that may come in handy in another project, like the lamination or the joinery used.
Always something to learn from the WWMC videos, well worth the money!
Paul, I always love your positivity and encouragement. But tonight, I was hard on myself and felt down because I kind of messed up a cutting board I was making for my mom for Christmas. I’ve been working with some hard maple lately and it is not easy to work when compared to the other woods I’ve been using. I unfortunately made the handle too short and somehow it also got off center and looks weird. I have done this all by hand: cut the board, planed it with a #5 1/2 and #4, drew the shape, and coped it. When you were an apprentice and just starting out, what did you do when you felt down on yourself about a project?
The important thing that I have learned is to either finish the piece with the mistake still in it or replace it altogether and start over. The first option might need a little adjustment to create balance. The handles on cutting boards are generally unnecessary so could even be removed. Starting over is hard because of the cost of the wood, but sometimes it is necessary. The important thing is not to give up.
The thing is what did you learn from your mistake? We make things in whatever trade or hobby we follow and hope that they will turn out the way we planned. Don’t give up, think about what went wrong and what will you do next time to prevent it happening again. One of my mentors told me “that the guy who never made a mistake, never did anything”. Always strive to do the best you can in your endeavors whatever they may be.
Such a nice and informative blog. I read the whole blog regarding Wine Rack which is very informative information.
