What should I expect to pay for two of these wine racks if I have them
custom built?

Here's a better picture closeup of the construction & materials:

And, this closer closeup shows how the wood cross member is shaped:

This shows what the entire rack would look like when done:

Any idea what this would cost to have built?

Good detail. This is a really specific design. It includes metal work.
This type of thing is afforadble when mass produced but doing one-off
it will be hard to find someone with the right skills and to get at a
decent price.

I did my typical quick take off. I see about $250+ in materials 20+
hrs of wood and metal labor and I would round up to 30 to be sure. If
I get $50 hr shop time + 30% profit I am at $2,275

Detail:
Wood material = 18bf @ $6 per

Wood labor in hrs
Prep wood 2
Rip wood 1
chamfer wood 2
End kerfs 2
Sand 2
Finish 4

Metal material Guess $150

Metal labor
cut metal 2
cut lap kerfs in metal 2
Prep and paint 2

Project completion
Assemble 3




I agree with SP on his detailed breakdown. Nothing to the construction looks
difficult, just very repetitive cuts. Fixtures for the crosscuts and batch
slotting the metal would speed the process significantly although I think the
metal work would take longer in the Prep-n-Paint stage.
