The family all headed home after Thanksgiving, so I took a little time to clean up the cellar threshold. I trimmed the plugs hiding the cement screws, sanded them smooth, and applied a first coat of Tung oil. Second coat tomorrow. #wine #woodworking #ProjectWineCellar
Today was the last work day of this trip. I drilled pilot holes in the floor for concrete screws, and drilled counterbore holes in the threshold so that screw heads are hidden. Then I secured the threshold to the floor with concrete screws and a healthy helping of construction adhesive. Finally, I inserted oak dowels in the counterbore holes and glued them in place to hide the screw heads. Next trip I’ll cut the dowels flush to the surface and sand smooth. #woodworking #wine #ProjectWineCellar
Built a threshold for the cellar door today. Started with an oak 1×10, then I ripped to width, cut to length, notched the corners (for door trim), beveled the top edges, and cut rabbets to accommodate flooring. Hopefully I’ll be able to sand and install it tomorrow. #wine #ProjectWineCellar #woodworking
Today’s project was installing vinyl plank flooring in the wine cellar. This is the first time I’ve ever done flooring, so I had a lot of waste at first. But once I got the hang of it, it went in really easy. #wine #ProjectWineCellar
✅ I voted in our municipal elections. 🇺🇸
I was very happy to see that they have added a paper receipt to our electronic voting machines this year. They’re a little late to that innovation, but better late than never. 👍
I got the second wall of shelves cut, sealed, installed, and (best of all) level.
Next steps: flooring and door.

I got a first coat of Tung oil on the first side of the boards needed for the second wall of shelves. #wine #ProjectWineCellar
