Wooden Crates

I have built myselfh a few of these wooden crates. They hold a case of bottles and are much sturdier and more aestetically pleasing. I'm thinking about building and selling them, but I'm trying to gauge interest. Thoughts?

Those are sweet. I picked up some from an older gentelmenan awhile back that he made. Mine's made out of cheaper materials, yours look much sturdier.

I'm thinking $10-15 a crate depending on the material. Those are made with cheaper wood as prototypes.

I really like those! My only suggestion would be to have a=a cheap way to cover the sides/top so sunlight and regular light doesn't infect the beer. I store most of my bottles in a storage garage that is constatnly lit so the cardboard boxes are a must to keep the light out. However, they simply suck after one or two rounds. Could you possibly make some that are bomber size? Regardless, I love these and would buy a few.

Good idea on bomber and shielding the sides. I like those as well and the price seems fair, I'd be interested in purchasing a few too.

Let me play around with it

Let me play around with it some more over the next week. I think I can add another slat around the sides that will cover more of the bottles. I'll also work on a bomber 12-pack crate.
