The idea to manufacture and market wine glass racks online for the consumer at large
popped into my head
due to a job I was commissioned to do back in the late 90's for the
Lake City Country Club, in North Florida.
It was sometime in the middle of 1999 that it dawned on me as I was flipping through some of my work photo albums,
that this might be something folks would be interested in.
From there we went on to develop different styles of wine glass racks.
Many of our first customers were the one's who collaborated with us and helped set the business in motion.
In mid-summer of 1999, we test marketed a variety of glass racks on
sites like eBay and the old Yahoo Auctions site.
We even set up old Yahoo/GeoCities and Anglefire/Lycos free web sites
and were taking orders and selling to folks from there.
Imagine that!
Anyway, I just wanted to post this, because I realized I've never put out a founding statement about our
company and how it all begun.
Drop by sometime, we'll be happy to build you a wine glass rack for your stemware to reside in. :-)
Particle board or MDF, are commonly used material these days.
Many manufactures of counter tops, cabinets, curio hutches, entertainment centers and alike, use this material because it is cost effective for them.
However, partial board can be a pain to try and screw through, as it can be brittle.
You most certainly want to make small pilot holes to help prevent the screws
from wallowing out as you try to screw in any type of 'add on' appliance.
Another tip to ensure your wine glass rack (or any appliance)
will stay in place, is to use either a wood glue, or construction adhesive.
This also holds true if you plan on mounting a glass rack under a marble counter top
or any other non porous surface.
We recommend using either LIQUID NAILS, Gorilla Glue, or even Elmer's Wood Glue or for this type of mounting application.
Just be sure to check the formula you use, to ensure it will work with
the surface in which you wish to mount your glass rack to.
