Liquor Rack

I have seen a few similar racks and decided to make one suited to my needs.

Just about any pallet that is in good condition will do.

I used a sawsall to cut through the nails and to cut the pallet down. I cut mine at the first taper as this gave me plenty if room to work with. I then stained (with the kids help) the boards. I used "gun stock" for the uprights and "golden oak" for the boards.

Take a narrow pallet board to fit the base and a wide board to secure the back. There should be little to no cutting required. I went for the rustic look. Next add your upper shelf supports. I made these high enough so I could fit a tumbler glass on the lower shelf.

I then added the upper shelf. Once nailed in place, I secured the first and only face board. This is placed to both conceal the shelf supports and provide a lip for the bottles.

Add the last two back plates and you're done. It should be noted that I didn't use a tape measure for any of this. I just kinda pieced it together and went for a rustic look. I did use Gorilla glue and a nail gun for a tight fit though. You could use a single color stain but again I like the two tone approach. Have fun and be creative!
