Ok, thought I'd try to share a bit about my latest project since I get so much inspiration and satisfaction from all the members who post up here. I'll try sharing some pics but bear with me as I've never attempted this before and I'm trying this from a smartphone. I started building a wine cellar for a client a bit ago. This involved demo-ing part of his nicely finished basement and walling off a corner section from the rest of the den. I ended up taking the walls back to the foundation and using the two concrete walls and slab as thermal mass to regulate the temperature and humidity. Since that portion of the foundation is below grade the temp should stay around 55°-57° F without needing a separate chiller.  I've built custom racking from cvg fir, and have it mostly installed. Customer has appreciated how the TS 75, mft 3, ro90, ct 26, etc have worked together to produce minimal dust in his garage!     Racking is designed to accept standard sized, half sized, and magnum bottles (the column in the corner) and each standard sized column holds a case and a half (18 bottles) |

How bottles of wine will that hold? It looks like you have some time wrapped up in that project.

Yeah, more time than I'd care to admit. I'm hoping to pick up more of these jobs so I'm looking at it as an education on bidding custom racking. There's over 1000 cuts involved in just the racking!
This phase will hold 468 standard, 46 small, and 18 magnum bottles. Will possibly add shallow racking on left wall that will be more for displaying prize bottles.

Btw, I found out on this job that my little Porter Cable circular saw works very effectively with the 27mm hose when it's not practical to use the TS.  |

Looks great! Very cool to minimize dust when working in a client's space.

Thanks! The real time-suck was that the concrete slab isn't even close to level along the far wall, so each rack had to be cut at individual lengths and the vertical member against the wall had to be cut on an angle to accomodate for a poured concrete curb. Argh!
Will post up final photos when all the painting is finished and cabinet doors are hung.
Cheers!

Well, life has been busy and I forgot about posting finished pics. Only thing incomplete is the homeowner hasn't decided on the pulls for the doors I built for the built-in.  Another ...  And another...  And a tile surfaced shelf...  |

Very nice work! I am a pretty dedicated wino myself and I have a custom cellar in my basement. If you are open to some input, may I suggest installing some small crown moulding around the top edge of the racking? It would finish it of and give it a really custom look. Mine was done that way and it has a big impact.

bwiele-
Thanks for the input. I'm always open to ways to improve and make a nicer finished product. I'll run the crown option by the homeowner and see what he thinks. One thing that might not be clear from the pics is that the vertical pieces don't extend all the way to the ceiling as we wanted them to be more of an open feel at the top, so I'm not sure if the crown will work.
I'll file that idea away for next time though...:-)

Now that's a lot of cuts  ! Looks great, what's better than working hard on the build and then enjoying a little wine... Okay a lot of wine  . Love the unit beside the door, same height. Very nice! What type of wood did you use for the wine cellar? |
