Wire wine glass hanger on a planning mobo?

[vas]

hello,

anyone used such setups for hanging wine glasses on a planning mobo?

God an oddly shaped cabinet I designed, and I can just about fit two 250mm long rails, good enough for 6 wine glasses.
Do the glasses survive or does the almost constant touching destroys them?
I can order some from the US, or I can build one from timber and make them a snug fit for my glasses (only I need to get a stock of them as I'd not want to alter the mount whenever I change glasses...)

fwiw, I'm talking most likely IKEA wine glasses so nothing fancy, just consumables...

cheers

We have a chrome version something like this, inside a cupboard, they're wide enough apart that the glasses don't knock together,

If your wine glasses are not on display, but say in a cupboard a 1.5 inch polystyrene base that as holes either burnt or cut to the diameter of the glass will do the trick. Mine are in a shelf attached to the back of the cupboard door so the polystyrene is out of sight. If it were in sight a thin wood veneer glued to the top can set it off nicely. I've used stained balsa veneer glued over polystyrene to great effect.

I don't use real glass but plastic wine glasses stored rim down in a cupboard, we know when we have had a rough trip as they fall out when you open the cupboard.

We had these Cup Racks on our old boat and they work well. http://onwardtrading.com/product-category/accessories/galley/

We have a plastic slide in equivalent. Much to my surprise we have never had a broken glass. If it gets rough enough then no doubt they would break but in normal use they are fine.

If they can touch each other they will make a chime noise from engine vibration etc and drive you mad. I always put them rim down with some sort of spacing arrangement with anti-slip/anti-rattle mat. On the subject of wine - my wife came up with a great idea to stop wine bottles rattling against each other - put a hair bobble (like an fluffy elastic band) around each bottle and silence is restored.

thanks for the comments,

I wonder if I make a snug fit with either bending the wires up, or using a lining to the top of the drawer if I can avoid the chime noise and them breaking...

will think about it and make a mock

Get some rubber tubing to cover the bars to stop glass and metal contact underway or fashion something from sheets of this stuff.

thanks!
looks like with rubber tubing around the steel rods I can kill two birds with one stone, will look into it, although I feel I'll end up custom making them...

cheers

It's really only like the rubber handle on a hammer which is a shock absorber. It will hopefully cancel some horrible rattling noise as well as preserve your glassware.

A double rod ,one above the other, on each side with a gap a little smaller that the thickness of the glass base so the glass base is pushed between the rods would hold the glassed tightly.

Using rubber on the rods would IMHO give you too much friction to allow easy insertion of the glasses .
