One of my first major wood working projects.
I took a coat closet from under the stairs and designed a wine closet to store all the wine we were acquiring while my wife was pregnant with our son.
As we were selling the house, I got wind the day before closing the buyer was going to throw away the top pieces – we immediately took it apart and kept them – we have yet to do anything with them.
Requirements for the build:
- Store large bottles of liquor
- Store bottles of fermenting/aging beer
- Properly store bottles of wine

Fit Test. All good! 
True Fit Test. Booze Fits!! 
Deciding how to continue. 
With the wine storage added. 49 bottle storage. Bottom row for show bottles. Top row large enough for Champagne bottles. 
Fit testing our non-epoxied cork counter top. 
After 5 cans of epoxy and the wife spending countless hours perfecting it. 
Fully completed

Our cork countertop turned out amazing. #awesomewife
The last ~5% – I had a trim piece that was supposed to cover the edge of the countertop and go wall to wall – it was up half the time with duct tape and the other half leaning in the corner.
