There can never be enough wine storage, right? Ok, I may be the exception because I have a “thing” for wine… If you do, too, then the plans to build a Julius wine table are for you!

Step One

Cut the pieces for the legs and side panels. Drill pocket holes in each end of the panels as well as one long edge (to attach the top). Secure the panels to the legs using glue and 1-1/4″ pocket hole screws. The outside face of the panels will be flush with the outside face of the legs.

Step Two

Cut the piece for the back panel. Drill pocket holes in each end of the panel as well as one long edge (to attach the top). Secure the panel to the legs using glue and 1-1/4″ pocket hole screws. The outside face of the panel will be flush with the outside face of the legs.

Step Three

Cut the pieces for the fronts and the front stretchers. Drill pocket holes in each end of each piece. Attach the stretchers to the legs as shown using glue and 1-1/4″ pocket hole screws.

Attach the fronts to the stretchers using glue and 1-1/4″ pocket hole screws.

Step Four

Cut the pieces for the drawer supports and drill pocket holes in each end. These supports will keep the drawer in place since there will be no drawer slides. Attach to the cabinet using glue and 1-1/4″ pocket hole screws.

Step Five

Cut the pieces for the bottle shelf backs and drill pocket holes in each end. Secure to the legs as shown using glue and 1-1/4″ pocket hole screws.

Step Six

Cut the pieces for the bottle shelf fronts. It will be easier to cut the holes with a hole saw, then rip the piece in half. The holes are set at 3-5/8″ on center and are 2″ in diameter. Once the pieces are cut apart (there will be one extra), drill pocket holes in each end.

Step Seven

Cut the pieces for the bottle shelf slats and drill pocket holes in each end. There will be 1-1/8″ spacing between the slats. The center of the spacing will be at the center of the half circles which will help hold the bottles in place so they don’t roll around. Secure the slats using glue and 1-1/4″ pocket hole screws.

Step Eight

Cut the piece for the top. The top will overlap by 1/2″ on each side and 3/4″ at the front. Secure in place using glue and 1-1/4″ pocket holes.

Step Nine

Cut the pieces for the drawers. Drill pocket holes in each end of the sides as well as all four edges of the bottom. Assemble as shown using glue and 1-1/4″ pocket hole screws. The front will overlap the drawer box by 1″ at each side, 3/4″ at the top, and 1/2″ at the bottom. Before inserting the drawer in the cabinet, coat the bottom with paste wax which will allow the drawer to slide smoothly.

Finish as desired.
