Customer wanted me to design a glass case around his wine rack, so I did.

Please excuse the funhouse effect of my old Galaxy S7, the glass is not warped, and I’m not springing for a new phone.

No need for doxxing today.

For the record, the censored poster board said something rude about your significant other.

Anyway... Kind of cool , was fun to do something a little different. I’m much happier with the master closet but that’s a post for another time... Or never.

Why did he want that?

That’s an interesting choice if it’s to actually store a significant amount of wine because it’s not climate controlled or light protected.

I very much like the handles you did.

That flooring makes me want to tear mine out and try to do it better

Ha jokes on you, I don’t have a significant other! I’m hopelessly alone!

Also looks very nice, though I’m surprised someone spending that much on wine storage wouldn’t want a fancy climate controlled setup.

Is that a philosophical question or a rhetorical one?

Philosophical... He’s just making access to the happy juice harder...

Most of the ones I do would have climate control set up, I feel he’ll end up adding it. which is easy-ish because the back wall is accessible through the pantry.

I was thinking of that as I typed, but I thought I should refrain from being depressing.

He needs more wine.

Your points are still valid, having a glass encased wine rack makes absolutely no sense. It’s called a wine cellar for a reason.

Treated cedar on the inside?

He should have installed an alcohol tap. Plumbed it in through the fridge.

Make no sense if your goal is optimally preserve/age wine. Makes perfect sense if your goal is to showcase your wealth/decadence.

Well, I think he just installed some hardwood flooring vertically!

And also upside down

The latter is the entire point, yes.

Or if you drink that much wine that fast.

I like it (not that that’s important). It’s pretty. I’m not a wine drinker so the practicality or climate control stuff doesn’t bother me.

That’s the decadence bit.

Tear out the wine rack, screw some hooks into the ceiling, hang part of a cow to age. There, fixed it.

Your client apparently doesn’t know shit about wine, but you clearly know a lot about glass—what a beautiful way to torture a bunch of wine to death.

How are the panel gaps though?  Is it contained enough to not be energy wasteful?

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > Chariotoflove 04/23/2019 at 20:26

There is vinyl at all the seams. Bu t basically *c an’t* help  be wasteful unless you install a climate control system inside. The R-value of typical tempered glass with no lam is... R-eally low.

Pardon me, I have to inspect * my* climate-controlled box that holds all my alcohol.

I actually looked into this as I was building my island. I determined the weakest link in the project would be my liver.

That looks very nice. Your client has his priorities mixed up. It should be diecasts or a suit of armor in there.

That’s awesome, well the glass part, idk about enclosing wine? Does your company produce and cut the glass as well? Or are you just design/sales?

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > diplodicus forgot his password 04/24/2019 at 08:51

The latter. We *have* some glass that we fabricate on hand, but we don't have a tempering plant. We source that elsewhere.

What’s something like that cost for the consumer 5-6k?

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > diplodicus forgot his password 04/24/2019 at 09:04

Less, as this is actually a relatively small opening (38" x 19" x 107"). But hoooo boy, you build this a few feet wider the you're damn close to your guess.

Well, see, exactly. It’s not very hard. Here’s how to store wine if you want it to not die and also you don’t care about showing it off: 1. find a dark closet that doesn’t have a heat register in it, such as those found in 99% of human habitations in the developed world; 2. put wine in the bottom of it.

Really beautiful glass enclosure, though, seriously. I want to take a shower in it.
