This sign is fun, practical and makes a great gift! With the right tools, you can make this sign yourself! This sign is roughly 20" wide and 14" tall.
We use a Craftsman router and router table
3. Next, we use our routing table to cut the slits for the wine glasses. We use a ½ inch size router bit and slice 2 slits for the wine glass stems. The slits are 2 inches from the edge on each side of the board.
The end product of the cut slits
4. The next thing we do is attach the wine glass hanger piece to one of the 20” 1x4’s boards. We do this by using the fence of the table saw to create a straight edge to line the 1x4 up with. We then clamp the 1x4 down to the table saw and then clamp the 10 ¾ piece into place.
5. Once the 10 ¾ piece is clamped into place, we then drill a pilot hole in 3 different places. One on the left side of the 10 ¾ piece, one in the middle and one on the right side. After drilling the pilot hole, we then insert 3 (3 inch) screws to hold the 10 ¾ piece in place.
8. Once your sign is stained/painted, I use my Cricut to cut the vinyl
10. Next, I use contact paper to stick the quote onto the sign. I have used many different transfer tapes before but good ol’ contact paper seems to do the best job!
11. When finished with the vinyl, I flip the sign over and attached a D-ring picture hanger. Since the sign will be holding the weight of two coffee mugs and two wine glasses, you will want something that is strong so don’t buy saw tooth hangers.
12. Flip the sign back over and now, attach the single prong hooks that will hang the mugs! You can buy these hooks in white, silver or black. We get ours from Walmart because they are the cheapest there ($7 for a pack of 6).
14. Now comes the best part…Find the perfect spot in your house to hang your sign and grab your wine glasses and your favorite mugs and hang it up!

Hey do u also do whiskey glades with the wine glasss
Since I have none of the tools required (router, chop saw, circuit), do you ever sell the items you displace here? I know this AM/PM board would be a perfect gift for several of my friends.
