Build a Wine Rack with Built-in Wine Glass Storage

Before you should proceed to the next step, take a moment and check the fit of all of the interlocking connections you cut in the previous step. Dry fitting the parts together will ensure that the connections are not too tight or too loose. If the connection is too tight, take off a minute amount of stock and re-test the fit.

This notched connection is a type of half-lap joint that, when properly fit together, will be strong and stable for years to come. However, if the fit is loose, the joint will not be as strong, and if too tight, could cause the stock to crack over time.
