\"DIYHey guys! \u00a0I\u2019m excited to share a new set of plans with you all today for a great way to store your wine bottles and glasses. \u00a0I first built this DIY wine cabinet last spring as a giveaway with Kreg Jig. \u00a0Yep! \u00a0One lucky reader actually won this beautiful wine cabinet! \u00a0I was kind of sad to let it go, but I\u2019m hoping the recipient of this cabinet is loving it! \u00a0I\u2019ve got the step-by-step tutorial for you as well as the printable plans, which you can download HERE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Before we get started, make sure you read through the entire post and the plans to make sure you do miss any important steps or tips. \u00a0The cut list and materials list are included in the plans. \u00a0This post does contain affiliate links to some of the products I used. \u00a0If you purchase an item from one of these links, I will receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\"HowI started by building the sides of the cabinet. \u00a0I purchased 2\u00d72 select pine from Home Depot and cut it down to size. \u00a0I drilled 1 1\/2\u2033 pocket holes<\/strong> into each end of the 2\u00d72 rails and glued and attached them to the legs with 2 1\/2\u2033 pocket screws<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Using<\/p>\n

I used my Kreg Rip-Cut<\/strong> to cut the plywood pieces for the sides and shelves. \u00a0If you don\u2019t have a table saw or a Rip-Cut you can ask the helpful employees at your local home improvement store to cut them down for you. \u00a0Just remember that their cuts won\u2019t always be the exact dimensions you were hoping for (I\u2019m usually told +\/- 1\/8\u2033), so make sure to modify the rest of the measurements to match the width of the panels.<\/p>\n

\"Assemble<\/p>\n

\u00a0I drilled 3\/4\u2033 pocket holes into the side panels of the cabinets and then set them in place, flush with the inside edge of the cabinet legs and rails. \u00a0I clamped everything in place and attached the panels with 1 1\/4\u2033 pocket screws<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Assemble<\/p>\n

Once the cabinet sides were assembled, I attached the front and back 2\u00d72 rails to finish off the frame. \u00a0The top rails are flush with the tops of the legs. \u00a0The bottom rails are 2 7\/8\u2033 up from the bottom of the legs.<\/p>\n

\"adding<\/p>\n

Measure and cut the bottom shelf to size. \u00a0Drill 3\/4\u2033 pocket holes into each side and clamp into place so it is flush with the top side of the bottom rails. \u00a0Attach with 1 1\/4\u2033 pocket screws.<\/p>\n

\"Attach<\/p>\n

I used 1x2s for the front trim pieces and attached them using 3\/4\u2033 pocket holes and 1 1\/4\u2033 pocket screws. \u00a0During this time, I also started filling all of the pocket holes with wood filler.<\/p>\n

\"notching<\/p>\n

When I was ready to make the X for the wine storage, I measured the diagonal legth and cut my plywood pieces to size. \u00a0I found the center point of each of the plywood pieces and figured out the center based on the 3\/4\u2033 width of the plywood panel it would be connecting to. \u00a0The length of my notch was also determined by finding the middle of the board. \u00a0I used my sliding miter saw to make the cuts for the 3\/4\u2033 thickness and then made a few extra relief cuts in between. \u00a0I used a 3\/4\u2033 chisel to break out the rest of the wood and clean up the inside of the notch.<\/p>\n

\"build<\/p>\n

Once the pieces were notched out, I fit them together and slid them into the bottom portion of the cabinet. \u00a0The X will be 3\/4\u2033 of an inch inset to allow for the trim to be flush with the cabinet face.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

To figure out what angles and the length to cut my 1\u00d72 trim pieces, I set them flush against the frame of the cabinet and marked the inside of the trim with pencil.<\/p>\n

\"edited-8646\"<\/p>\n

I then determined the angles by lining up my pencil lines on my miter saw. \u00a0Once the trim pieces were cut, I glued and nailed them into place with 1 1\/4\u2033 brad nails.<\/p>\n

\"assembling<\/p>\n

Next, I assembled the drawer. \u00a0I used 1x4s for the drawer box; however, I modified the plans to use 1\/2\u2033 plywood instead.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"adding<\/p>\n

Once the drawer box was assembled, I glued and nailed the bottom on. \u00a0Since this is 1\/2\u2033 plywood on the bottom, I used 1\u2033 brad nails.<\/p>\n

\"edited-8650\"<\/p>\n

I sanded and stained the cabinet, added the drawer slides and then we nailed the back on. \u00a0I had my husband help me with this step as I had a horrible shoulder injury I was dealing with. \u00a0In fact, I pretty much had to build this entire cabinet with one arm. \u00a0There were a lot of tears involved;) \u00a0To attach the top, I cut a pine project panel down to size so there would be a 3\/4\u2033 overhang on three sides and flush on the back. \u00a0I glued it to the cabinet top and countersunk 2\u2033 wood screws to secure it. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\"wine<\/p>\n

Once the back is on and the drawer face is added, I added three coats of polyurethane and then added the drawer pull.<\/p>\n

\"X\"how<\/p>\n

\u00a0The finished wine cabinet was gorgeous and could hold up to 9 bottles of wine! \u00a0The middle shelf is big enough to hold plenty of wine glasses and corkscrews and other wine accessories can be stored in the drawer. \u00a0Like I said, this is a great weekend project, and perfect if you\u2019re looking for a nice, handmade gift idea! \u00a0Don\u2019t forget to download the printable plans<\/strong> and be sure to share your finished project! \u00a0I love seeing what you create! \u00a0One reader who built this wine cabinet even modified my plans a little to omit the drawer and glass storage and added a second X for even more wine! \u00a0<\/p>\n
