GATHER YOUR SUPPLIES !• Only 1 pallet for this project
• The ideal pallets is the euro pallet (80x120 cm)
• The following tools are used: jigsaw, try square, flat bit, pencil, screw driver, sander
• It took me 1 day to make it !YOU’LL ALSO NEED
• All you will need, besides the wooden pallet, are some screws and a 30cm long wood batten.

STEP 1 Choose your pallet and cut it with your jigsaw as shown in the image above. !STEP 2 Keep the thinnest part and cut the other part vertically just after the central part as shown in the picture on the next page. You’ll then keep piece n°1.

HERE IS HOW
!
STEP 3 Take one board from the leftovers [3], adjust it to the base (trace it with the pencil) and then cut it with the jigsaw. Keep the small part for STEP 5 !STEP 4 Now you can screw the adjusted board at the base. I suggest 6 screws (2 for each side, see [5]; and 2 for the middle. Now you have the base of your shelf.

STEP 5 Take the off-cut from the previous board (step 3). You’ll now have to drill 6 holes using the spade bit (diameter 22): the first hole at 10 cm from the top of the board and 6cm from the edge and then each 8cm [6]. You have to drill 10cm from the top and 10cm from the bottom. That is necessary in order for the glasses to fit your shelf.
STEP 6 Trace the gutters with the try square + pencil, and then remove them with your jigsaw [7].
STEP 7 Take the 30cm long wood batten (3cm thickness). Screw it to the edge of the board and aligned with the center of the board. I used 3 screws (7cm long). Do not drive the screws through entirely as they should not come out the other side until next step [stars at 9].

STEP 8 Now it’s time to attach the piece obtained at step 7. So tighten it at the bottom center of your shelf [10]. !STEP 9 Sand, sand, and sand it again until you obtain the desired result. [11]. And there you have it, you can now apply varnish or paint to finish it. Personally, I like the raw aspect of sanded pallets, so I prefer to let it this way. Fix it on your wall and you have your pallet wine rack!
