Fantastic job Paul! I never thought about the stopper not fitting in the fridge if it's to tall, great point.

Yah! Nice as these look, if the stopper turned out too tall on the bottle, might make getting a new fridge a priority! 😉

I’m so glad it will be useful. If there’s anything I can do to help you as you get started with wood turning please don’t hesitate to ask. Enjoy your new art my friend. It’s the most fun that you can have in a woodshop in my opinion. Cheers sir. Paul

Newbie also..after about 15 pens, made my first stopper today cork base. Not real pleased, but I enjoyed the process..

You're right, it is addictive so enter at your own risk! 🤣😂 I use the Niles products and love them! Carl and Ruth do an amazing job and the quality is superb! This was a great video and nice work on the stoppers! I got several of the honeycomb blanks and they're super fun to turn! They created a monster for sure! Lol

Rosewood is awesome for turning, and yep that stuff that you had would have been superb for bottle stoppers.

Where did you obtain the honeycomb blanks. Looks amazing!

Thanks Tim. Niles Bottle Stoppers sells them.

Nice job Paul. Is there a reason you chose to use a threaded insert instead of just running threads directly into the stock?

@ToolMetrix

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Harry, thank you. I've done these both ways, and the main reason that I like using the threaded insert is that they go on an off the mandrel so much easier. But you're right, that's a valid approach as well.

Good looking piece Paul. Also, I use gorilla Glue on all of my mandrel work. I have not had any mandrel piece blow up since doing that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Gorilla Glue is water activated. It should work a little better if you, say, dip the insert in water real quick before inserting it.

You’re right that it is, and you would probably be better off doing that, but if you have ever gotten that stuff on something that you didn’t want to you know that it forms a pretty good bond even without water.

Can you recommend a good lathe under or around $1,000? Or 2k and below?

@ToolMetrix

2 жыл бұрын

We use the Laguna 1216 in the Vetsturn program and that’s a great option for under $1000. For a few hundred more I like the nova 1624.
