Made with scrap ipe hardwood and 2 metal brackets. I didn't take pictures of the making, sorry about that. Finished it right before the birthday party.

What you will need

Scarp wood

Metal - L shaped, drilled 2 holes

Cup/tube/cylindrical saw

Sandpaper

Drill

Screws

Wood finish of your choice

Shot glasses!

How to do this project

1

Measure the length of the wood and cut it accordingly to fit the glasses

2

Drill the holes to fit the shot glasses

3

Sand everything to perfection

4

Drill the guide holes to screws on the metal brackets

5

I sanded and applied primer then automotive paint on the brackets (I had it on the shop, you can just spray paint or whatever you prefer)

6

Put it all together

7

Get a bottle and party on!

I love simple items that have character and warmth. Great job! I see you use ipe wood. A lot of people here in michigan are using that for building decks. Is it a difficult wood to work with? Did you test out the shot glasses to make sure the worked after you finished?!

Shot glasses worked alright! This is peroba or ipe, not really sure. It is hard, so it's easy to "model" it. Tastes really bad, tho. Haha
