The parts cost about $30, and the finished wine rack has a capacity of 45 bottles. I constructed it by building two wooden frames that look basically like this: +--+ +--+ | | | | | | | | +--+------------------------------+--+ +--+------------------------------+--+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +--+------------------------------+--+ +--+------------------------------+--+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +--+------------------------------+--+ |** **| +------------------------------------+ comprised of 5 two-by-fours (each) of about 3.5 feet in length. Three 3' x 1' particle boards were then bolted to the crossbeams forming a set of three shelves. Finally, I obtained a set of four 10' long, 4.5" dia plastic tubes from a building materials store ($3.50 each). I cut the tubes (they cut EASILY with a hacksaw) into 10" lengths. On each shelf I stacked one row of 8 tubes, and one row of 7 tubes. The resulting wine rack is convenient, sturdy, and ugly as hell. Fortunately, it fits in a dark closet in the basement. -- +----+ R. L.
