Compact Wine Rack

Use a space that is square, deep enough to hold bottles on their sides, and at least 14 inches tall and wide.

Measure depth and diagonal distance between corners; cut two 1-by-12-inch boards to those dimensions, and sand to fit, if necessary.

Notch middle of each piece at 90 degrees: Use a pencil and speed square to mark wood, and a jigsaw to make a 3/4-inch-wide notch that stops at the center.

Bisect pieces at notched points to make a three-dimensional X. Paint to match shelves.
