Step-by-step Instructions

1

Step 1

Stemware Holders. Begin by building the stemware holders by building 2 L-Shaped pieces with boards A and B and 9 T- Shaped pieces using A and C as shown above. If you are painting the piece with a brush, I recommend painting these pieces and board D now, because it will be very difficult to reach once this is put together.

Step 2

Stemware Shelf. Now mark board D as shown, spacing the center stemware supports the same, and the end spaces the same as shown above. There will be a 1" gap between all the supports. Your finished product should look like the above diagram.

Step 7

Bottom of the Crown. Add the crown by placing the sides on, 3/4" from the top, and then the front pieces. If done correctly, step 8 will fit perfectly. If you have a router, I like to router out the bottom edge of the crown.

Step 8

Top Crown. Attach the top crown pieces, the sides first, and then the front. Nail into both the bottom crown piece and the hutch. I like to router out the bottom outside edge of the top piece. 10. Back. Add the plywood to the back. I like to use beadboard. And that is it! Fill nail holes with wood filler and, sand and finish as desired. Once in place, I recommend you attach to the wall to ensure there are no accidents.

Step 9

Make sure you attach to wall with a tip resistant kit - that's like 20 wine glasses that you don't want falling on you.

Finishing

Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
