I slapped together a few simple boxes that hold 5 bottles of the "ever in demand" hard lemonade; they should be popular with the New Year's celebrators. The boxes are made out of scraps left over from the pallet wine rack I recently built; so it has a bit of a rough hewn look. The handle rotates back which allows the bottles to be removed. Scrap wood, brads, glue & lemonade.... my shopping's done.

Very nice. Just so you know, I have just stolen that idea from you. I make primative garden furniture, wishing wells, planters, and bird houses and sell them to the rich folk around here. They love that stuff.

right right. I was not thinking of selling those actually, I was thinking of doing like you do and use them as gifts. I've got wine in carboys but have not bottled any yet. Still a bottling virgin I guess.
