Before starting you will need to dismantle the pallet to use the planks. The best way to do this is to secure the pallet planks to a workbench using screw clamps.

A chisel and hammer will help you to lever out the support blocks. Then cut the screws with a rotating tool.

2.Cut and sand the planks

You will need 6 planks, measuring 65cm in length for the shelves. And 3 planks measuring 45cm in height for the sides. Once the pieces are cut to size, sand them down to a smooth surface.

3.Assemble the shelves of the rack

The top and middle shelves are made from two planks attached at a right angle using nails.

For the bottom shelf, join the plank measuring 65 x 18 x 18cm to the back of the shelf. Using a mitre or hand saw, cut 7 pieces measuring 7cm wide. Nail each piece to the plank leaving a 2cm space between each one.

4. Put together the sides

You will need a plank that is 10cm thick and 45 cm high so that it is large enough to hold a bottle of wine.

Start by screwing the right side to the rack. In the twos plank for the left side make two holes. In one plank use a 25mm flat drill bit for wood to make holes to hold the bottles. In the second blank use, an 8cm hole saw drill to make holes to hold the bodies of wine.

Screw on the left side plank with the small hole. Then with a mitre saw cut 2 pieces measuring 12cm long and 10 cm wide. Screw these pieces to the planks with the large holes in, and attach to the left side.

5.Varnish

After assembling the rack, apply a wenge-coloured varnish. The dark shade will help disguise any flaws on the pallets.
