Pallet - Jack rack

[swamphunter]

I think I'm going to be starting this lil' project in the next week or so...(I affectionately call it my "Jack-Rack") once I get a free afternoon. I have 1 pallet at home that is fairly aged, but decent condition... I think I have definitely found a use for it. I like this and it will give me a nice place to display my empty Jack bottle collection... (well, maybe I'll have one full one mixed in there somewhere..

That's about the coolest thing I've ever seen done with a pallet.

Too kool.!!! Jack needs a Jack rack!!!! Awesome

Well here it is boys! After 1.5hrs of work and exactly $0... its complete... I also wanted to mention that this was built entirely with hand tools. Just a hand saw, and a hammer and polyurethane. No power whatsoever

Finished

Started with this

Then sawing started

Pieces back together

Completed - I had to build a small hidden support shelf to keep bottles elevated in the Jack Rack as I'm going to store shot glasses on the bottom since I'm not a wine drinker.

That came out awesome!!! Rally cool project. The only improvement I see here is to use full bottles

I hear that buddy!! I'm looking forward to my next pallet project. I've always been a woodworker, made furniture and stuff, but lately having less room to do it, and less free time, plus now owning a cabin, I like the more "rustic" projects.. they consume less free time and materials and are more along my budget now too.

I did notice that there were no full bottles in that last pic swamphunter.

I come across lots of hardwood pallets at work,,,red oak and walnut usually,,,used to cut them up and sell them on ebay for knife scales,,,now i'm makin' me a jack rack!!

AGREED!!! Sorry, but I'm going to have to steal this idea!

Thanks so much for sharing, awesome craftsmanship my friend!!!

Great idea, I think I'm going to steal this and get me a "Jack Rack" in my workshop. Productivity might slow down once its complete as I will have to start with full bottles not having kept any old ones; Oh well, someones got to empty them so it might as well be me.
