Wrought Iron Wine Racks - Mr. Vinerack


Wrought Iron Wine Racks - Mr. Vinerack
Welcome fellow wine lovers.

Thank you for browsing the Vineyard of Vine Racks by Larry Stern. I have designed these wine racks with a unique twist and soft natural grape vine curves. The Vine Rack will hold a collection of wine and be a pleasant addition to any wall.

An idea:

I owned a liquor store and gave customers items I received from Beer, Liquor and Wine Distributors. Of all the items given out, wine racks were returned. Commercial wine racks are made of steel wire and not very artistic. Certainly not a hit with the families' decor at home. Not decorative or very unattractive I was told. Another reason was being unstable on carpet. While discarding the returns, the idea to make a fool proof wine rack came to me. An aesthetic wine storage system from steel that will not fall over, fits any size home and takes up no floor space.

Learning Process:

Now that I had the idea, how do I get started? How do I learn to make wrought iron wine racks? I began by asking my customers . Welders, craftsman and equipment suppliers. Pat Lanenbau from Williamstown, NJ, a welder for many years with a trailer company taught me welding techniques, how to weld blind with a helmet, and loaned me the Lincoln Stick Welding machine. When I became a more accomplished welder, Bill Masters from Mt. Laurel, NJ informed me about the Clarke MIG Welder. I bought it and he taught me how to use it. Bill Russell is the genius behind the the web site. He has been graciously donating his professional time to help me for many years. Guests at the WWW. MRVINERACK.COM web site are the beneficiary of his work. And, Hobart Welding Products who published my craft in the Hobart Welding Institute magazine," World of Welding".
