I like those. What a good gift Idea. Can you give us the design secrets of hole placement and angle?

I agree the holders are really nice – don’t much like wine, but the design is really neat.

Blake, They are 10 1/2” by 4”, ( the width can be 3”) the angle is 45 degrees and The hole is 1 1/4”. I did a round over in the hole but not too large or it will change the angle of the bottle. I use scrapes and glue the together, ogee on the side for different design. You would find many takers in your area with all the wineries around

RAH, one detail is missing: How far from the bottom of the board is the center of the hole?? The correct height for the hole would also determine the center of gravity.

This a really neat idea! I don’t drink wine but I work at a liquor store. *BG I might have to try this it like how does that work? How thick are the boards? Thanks for sharing.

Well, nice of you to give up the design details. That’s very generous of you. Neat design.

I’ve seen plans for one that is a half circle or partial circle … I’ll try to find it.

As the bottle is emptied does it change the point of balance?

Hey Todd, it works when the bottle is full, empty or half full (which usually makes it empty quicker!)
I made some of these with a thicker base… triangular in profile, based on a description of the design in Wood a year or two back. Quite stable in use, and looks pretty cool, but yours pull off the illusion better. Thanks for sharing the details to make a thinner one.
