Something different for me, not furniture.
I gave a neighbor a wine bottle stopper a few months ago as a birthday
gift. Then she decided it would be nice for me to build her a display
to show off her wine bottle stoppers. Oh boy... Then she decides that
she would like to hang it on the wall. Oh boy....
So I think and think and think and..... cruise the internet for ideas.
I hate the traditional look of the typical display as they look like
miniature stadium bleachers and or golf ball display, you know the look.
So I got an idea from a guy selling bottle stoppers and significantly
changed his design.
At the link below the displays on the saucers will display 24 bottle
stoppers. The ones not on saucers hole 9 stoppers and will hang on the
a wall or cabinet with 2 screws that slide up inside a key hole slot on
the back side. A crew at the top holds the display, a screw near the
bottom will keep the display from tilting should it become heavier on
one side. Saucer units will free stand on a counter top. And now the
neighbor wants the counter top display.....
These are made out of an 8' Douglas fir fence post so I made enough to
use up the whole post.
Let me know what you think!

Outstanding creativity and craftsmanship.
I think, however, you should move very far away.
Having a neighbor that collects wine bottle stoppers is medium creepy.

Why? My sister collects tea balls. Lots of people collect odd things.

Clip art from a Google search and I added the heavy oval ring
surrounding the picture. I printed it on mustard colored construction
like paper and then used an exacto knife to cue each one out. That was
a PIA. Perhaps if the labels were readily available from a winery...

I would not mind making production runs but not on spec. There was a
lot if time involved although much of it was making up jigs to drill the
holes and designing the labels.

You mean the bottles with all the holes? Drilled on a DP with 45
degree positioning jig. Drill bit, 1/2 Colt "5 star" brad point bit.
The Colt is pricey but goes in at that angle easier and better than my
Forstner bits and other brand brad point bits. I tried 4 different
brand bits before buying the Colt 5 Star.
A hint, I cut the corners off of the post material to form 8 equal width
sides. Drill holes on flat sides before turning.

Thank you. The labels were the worst part, I had to find the design
and add the oval ring and cut them out with an exacto knife... The
natural look would certainly be easier w/o the labels.

24 bottles!

That's a 24 bottle program! Not a bad program. Might want to visit the neighbor more often, rather than avoid her.

Down here in the Bible Belt, nobody admits to drinking wine, much less
fancy corks. I made a few and still have them.
