How to make a rake wine glass holder

Step one
Cut off the rake handle with a saw, leaving a 50mm section of wood on the rake head.

Step two
Smooth the rough sawn edge and lightly sand the rake head to remove any light rust and ‘key’ the surface of the metal.

Step three
Wipe off any sanding residue with a clean cloth.

Step four
Apply one coat of Resene ArmourX Rust-Arrest to the metal rake head, allowing 24 hours to dry. Wash brush in Resene Thinner No 10.

Step five
Apply one coat of Resene Quick Dry to the section of wooden handle and allow two hours to dry.

Step six
Apply one coat of Resene Melting Moment to the wine holder and allow 16 hours to dry. Apply a second coat of Resene Melting Moment and allow to dry. Wash brush in Resene Thinner No 10.
