@@knothead5 Honestly don't remember. But pretty sure it's literally called a "bottle stopper mandrel." Probably Penn State Industries based on where I was at the time in terms of resources. I don't use them anymore if I can help it, though.
@@WoodenThingsAndStuff Thanks for the prompt reply. Good turning. I showed the wife your approach to segmenting scraps. She said I could make about 548 bottle stoppers!
@@jasonlinton9950 Thanks! I think I got those ones from Penn State Indstries, but these days I get most of my turning kits and hardware from William Wood-Right (penblanks.ca) because I'm in canada and it works out better after shipping and border stuff is taken into account. Their stuff is also of higher quality.
@@WoodenThingsAndStuff thanks for replying! I just started doing bottle stoppers. But im skeptical about the ones from amazon. They say stainless steal but the price is just way to low. I want them to be good quality. Ty!!
@@jasonlinton9950 top quality (but the price reflects that) is probably nilesbottlestoppers.com (I think is the website). I haven't tried them yet because I'm not sure I could sell them for that much more than I already do. Might get a few one day as "gift" ones for people. We'll see.
The one i see on amazon are 10 for 15$. And it says stainless steal. I just want the stopper to be chrome or something bc it will wear and i dont wanna take that chance of getting someone sick . Yes niles is what im looking at. Expensive but worth it in the long run.
I go through William Wood-Write these days because I'm in Canada and shipping $ from the US is nuts. I used to go through PSI (Penn State Industries), which is fine if you want cheap Chinese garbage that you can make $ from. If you want quality stuff look at nilesbottlestoppers.com/ but know you'll need to either really like the person you're gifting to or charge a premium price for your goods.
Great looking stoppers, Mike! If I drank 🍷, I’d be all over these! However, I STILL need to place my order for a 🖊 , 🤦🏻♂️. I guess the good thing about not ordering one, YET, is that now I can drop a few hints to my 3 kids, 👦🏻🧒🏻🧒🏻! Christmas🎄 is coming! Lol 😝! Win/Win 🏆
No need for music..relaxing to just watch you work.
Agreed
Well Done 😀😀.Jim's wood shop.
@@jimschaffer9831 thanks very much!
You work fast! Where did you get the mandrel? Never seen one like it.

@@knothead5 better get on that!
Did you make the plexiglass display?
Love the askew wood pattern. Good luck at the Christmas market!
Thanks, Dave!
Great job!!! What size is the spindle adapter for a bottle stopper?
Thanks! And I don't know the size. I just ordered something called a "bottle stopper mandrel" and it works great.
Great work!! Are the stoppers stainless steel? Amazon?

Sty. I DONT want the stopper to be chrome.
What are the sizes of the wood you glued up. 1.5x 4?
I'd say closer to 1.75 x 5, but I wasn't really measuring.
Love how you made them out of scraps. Where do you get your bottle stopper supplies?
