Do your crates not hold a whole 24 bottles? following Uncle Davids measurements 4 1x3s in place of 5 1x2s was perfect

Thanks for the share, I may end up buying the plans just to have on hand. Have any idea how much they are?

What did you use for the antique coat? Vinegar steel wool?
Yep. 1 gallon of vinegar and 6 pads steel wool was enough to do 6 crates spraying it on. Might get more brushing. Mine sat about 36 hours before I sprayed it and it was on the crates for about 20-25 mins.

For those of you with an inkjet printer, here's a slick way to place your logo (or other image) onto your crate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSfj6eiNzew
It's really easy and gives crisp lettering.
Pardon my ignorance. What is a WM Pint, WM Quart and 1L Teddy? I want to make some of these boxes for 12 oz bottles and I liter growlers.
I really like it, but when I make more, I may expand the dimensions slightly to accommodate shorter, fatter bottles like those used by Sierra Nevada and Alaskan. I haven't made the dividers yet but I don't think they'll fit with the dividers.
If anyone is interested in saving some time, I saw wooden crates that look exactly like these at Walmart this week for $9. My guess is that the wood would cost at least that much anyway. I didn't check the dimensions, but it looked like the perfect size for a 12 pack. I know most of the fun is in the DIY part, but thought I would share just in case.
Looks Good to me DocDriza!
Awhile back, I came up with an adapted design for wine bottles. ... Hope this helps someone out there!
Once in a while I see an idea and go "well, duh - I should have thought of that". Thanks for sharing. I will be borrowing your idea!
Question: With the separators, do you actually need the slats on the bottom?
