Its not fancy, its functional, for
a purpose. People often ask me about cellar design.
Its a cellar - for wine
storage. If you're creating a showroom or tasting or dining room,
then so be it..
But who wants to dine in 58 degrees? |
Racks? There are all kinds of racks
and kits and professional designs and installations. Our cellar was
somewhat of a 'family affair' - father-son projects over a period of time
where we designed and built a wine storage rack as part of a fun, teaching,
bonding, collaboration project. Each provided an opportunity to spend time
together and teach basic woodworking and project planning and management.
Hence we have several racks of various bespoke designs, not
perfect, but uniquely 'ours', and each a special memory, and functional for
the long run, especially those over-engineered or excessively designed and
built. |
