After drilling 240 holes shelf pins and cutting 100 shelf boards, I finally got the first wall of bins installed. The bins are 18.5 inches deep, and are made from 1×10 boards that are stacked two deep. Here are a few in-progress shots, and then a photo of the completed wall of bins.

Using the jig I built yesterday to drill shelf pin holes for #ProjectWineCellar #wine #woodworking
Achievement Unlocked: I built a small jig and used it to build a larger jig.
I’m working on shelves for #ProjectWineCellar, and I need to drill identically spaced holes for shelf pins in about a dozen boards. The small jig has two holes with the proper spacing and I used that jig to transfer the spacing to the large jig that can do an entire board at once. #wine #woodworking
If I have to be stuck someplace with COVID, at least I got stuck at the lakes. There are worse places to quarantine. (Barbee, IN)
Testing with a puppy photo.
My 10 year-old nephew is staying with us at the lake this weekend, so the only work I was able to squeeze in on #ProjectWineCellar is applying the vapor barrier over the floor. Edges were sealed with acoustical caulk, and the plastic was reinforced with tape where they contact the shelf platforms. Then platforms were reinstalled. #wine
After a long delay, I worked on the wine cellar again this weekend. I finished lighting and electrical, and built two platforms to to level out the unlevel floors and support shelves. The platforms were an interesting challenge because I had to learn how to cut tapers on a table saw. Luckily there are YouTube videos for that. #ProjectWineCellar
@manton @jean My Micro.Blog account is on a grandfathered $2/month plan. What’s the best way to “upgrade” my account to the now standard $5/month plan? I really like Micro.Blog and want to “pull my weight”. Thanks.
