Start with a pair of boxes and add a few details to make this compact cabinet.
It won't take a lot of hardware to build this wine server. Besides a few screws, you'll need a few other things. The shelf pins (#22765) and drawer pull (#43105) come from Rockler. You should be able to find similar items available locally as well.
If you don't plan on making the wineglass molding, you can purchase some from Rockler. The number is #22210 for a 36″ piece. One thing to know, however, is that it's only available in red oak.
You shouldn't have any trouble finding these router bits. The ¼″-dia. and ½″-dia. straight bits I used came from the Woodsmith Store. You should be able to find similar straight bits in most woodworking supply catalogs.
The rabbeting bit is made by Amana (49302). Slot cutters are available from a number of manufacturers in a variety of sizes. The slot cutter shown in the article was obtained from Jesada Tools (624-128).
With its traditional details and joinery, this great-looking cabinet will be a pleasure to build.
You can find hardware for the library cabinet from most hardware suppliers. But the hardware I used all came from Rockler. I used 4 bail pulls (#35402) for the front of the drawers. The stem bumpers (#28373) are packaged eight to a bag which is just the number I needed for the drawers. Then to hold the shelves, I used ¼″ shelf supports (#33894).
