The biggest advantage of the wine
server is that the individual cases can
be adapted to different configurations.
The same goes for its size.
The photo at right and the draw-
ing below show a larger buffet ver-
sion. Besides adding four additional
cases (how you arrange the inside is
up to you), all youll need to do is make
a few new parts. First, youll need a
new, longer hardwood top. Then make
an extended plywood base and a pair
of front and back rails. The dimensions
for these are shown below. The end leg
assemblies remain the same.
Server to Buffet
Like the server, the buffet version
uses 1/4" plywood plates to keep each
of the cases in place (detail below).
