The solar daytime is hither at last!!

I accept been SO eager to part this DIY projection amongst you lot for 2 reasons… One, I made this MYSELF! And two, I am joining an AMAZING grouping of bloggers to conduct you lot the outset always Home Depot Gift Challenge. Each month, nosotros volition chose i solid depot production together with practice a unique gift. We are non associated amongst Home Depot, nosotros merely actually similar their products :) This month, our choices led me to creating this DIY industrial Copper Wine Rack for my husband.

It all started amongst this lilliputian copper tee. We were all challenged to brand something for our meaning other that had to contain these copper tees. My hear was spinning immediately, together with although I definitely drinkable to a greater extent than vino inwards this solid than my husband, I knew he would appreciate this industrial slice inwards our kitchen!

Here’s what you lot need:

(everything 1/2 inch diameter)

4 Copper Tees

12 Copper Elbows (90 degree)

3 Copper pipes

4 Copper Clamps

4 Short Screws

Tube Cutter

Measuring Tape

Marker/Pen

90 Degree Ruler

Epoxy

Something to spread/mix Epoxy

(I used tiny wooden sticks)

To start you lot accept to mensurate everything to brand certain that this slice tin hang properly from your cupboards. Cupboard depth together with length, vino bottle length together with diameter.

One I had all my measurements, I made this sketch [below] past times paw together with calculated everything I needed.

Based on my measurements (for a measure cupboard), I needed to cutting the copper into:

2 x 14″

4 x 3.5″

4 x 2″

4 x 4″4 x 5.5″

I cutting each slice past times measuring it amongst the record measure, marking my cutting amongst a marker, together with cutting amongst the subway scheme cutter [thanks to the handy hubby for the tutorial on that!].

Once each slice was cut, I gently sanded the edges, then that they would slide into the joints nicely.

Next I did a dry out agree to banking concern check that all my measurements were right. I’m SO glad I did this! If you lot saw inwards my photograph above, I had originally planned to cutting the width pieces at 7″ instead of 5.5″.  When I did the dry out fit, I realized that the vino bottles would accept slid correct out of the rack! Lucky I hadn’t glued anything yet!!

Now you lot tin glue!

Mix your epoxy (as per instructions) – exclusively a modest amount at a fourth dimension – together with spread within your joints. Join the pieces together, together with force them against a apartment surface to brand certain that both joints off each pipage are at the same angle.

Finally, purpose your ninety grade ruler to brand certain that everything is flat together with square.

Add your clamps to the operate past times bars, together with bask inwards your beautiful masterpiece earlier you lot hang it up!

Since this is a GIFT challenge, I couldn’t demo of my gift without showing off my wrapping job!

I used approx. 1″ washers together with stamped “FOR”, “MY”, together with “MAN”. into the washers inwards lieu of a tag. See the postal service on How to Stamp on Metal to acquire to a greater extent than :)

Not gonna lie, my hubby had to hang his ain gift afterwards he opened it, lol.

He measured a brusk distance from the dorsum of the wall, together with used 8 modest screws to hang the vino rack from the cupboard above. Ensure that the screws are shorter than the thickness of the board you lot are attaching it to. That agency the screws won’t pierce the board on the inside.

The copper vino rack easily holds half dozen bottles of vino :) Or whatever else you lot select to position it in!

The photograph below shows how the bottles sit down against the wall at the back, close one-half an inch of infinite betwixt the wall together with the wine rack :)

And it all started amongst this uncomplicated copper tee!

Now it’s fourth dimension for me to conduct care of a drinking glass together with bask our novel vino rack!
