It’s entertaining season and I’m thrilled to share my new DIY rustic industrial bar cart with you! I teamed up with the awesome folks at Simpson Strong-Tie to bring you the free plans and tutorial for this project. This DIY bar cart is the perfect addition to your holiday get-together.
This DIY bar cart has a lot of neat features: a bottom shelf tall enough to hold full size wine bottles and decanters, a hanging stemware rack, and a removable serving tray on top! These galvanized steel angles add a beautiful industrial touch. I spray-painted them oil-rubbed bronze to match the base and handles.

I love that the top shelf is removable, so you can use it as a serving tray. So versatile! And those handles are actually window sashes and are usually less expensive than real drawer pulls. Depending on what kind of wood you use, this project will cost you around $50-$100. The build is pretty straightforward – you could build this in an afternoon and be hosting your holiday gathering that evening!
Be sure to visit Building Strong, the new Simpson Strong-Tie blog for the full tutorial and plans.
Happy holidays from The House of Wood! If you build this project, we’d love to see it! Tag us on social media (@jenwoodhouse and @strongtie) so we can see your handiwork. Happy building!

Hi! We’re in the process of building this now. Where did you get the wires for the wine rack?
Thank you!
Hi Rachael!
I bought the hanging wine rack from Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2uRdmHq
Really love looking at your projects… would love to try some Ideas with my ongoing projects…❤❤?
Can you tell me the exact product for the Simpson hardware to finish the tray?
Hi there,
Newbie here and just got a pocket hole jig today. In the instructions it says to use the 2 1/2” framing screws to drill together the base.. but I can see you used pocket holes in the picture. Did you use your pocket hole jig to screw those in then? With the framing screws? Sorry if this is a dumb question..
