- When I started turning bottle stoppers I wanted to save some money on the cost of getting started. This video shows a good method for turning bottle stoppers as accurate as any high dollar gizmo. I hope you enjoy this project.
Finishing Acrylic: • #110 Turning Glasslike...
I am learning, lots of good information.
Thanks I’m just starting and can’t wait to get in the shop tomorrow.
Excellent. Gave me new ideas.
You done this awhile ago Stephen. Love the way your not obsessed with carbides, I prefer HSS chisels myself. Good tips and brilliant work. LOve the felt tip pen colouring.
Some lovely stoppers there Stephen, and a very useful and cost effective mandrel you devised too :)
Take care
Mike
Thank you my good friend. Glad you enjoyed it.
I know you said those bottle stoppers are awesome but sir I disagree, you are the awesome one. I truly enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Thank you sir. I really appreciate it my friend. Glad you you are enjoying my channel. Hope I can keep you watching.
I like the jig that you made for the bottle stoppers, it keep your hands away from the chuck. Nice job.
Thank you Dale. Glad you enjoyed this project.
Hay Stephen, another great teaching video. I have made a few tankards kind of like the ones you made,but carved dragon heads for the handles, and used the acrylic. I went to my key shop, and ask for some brass grinds and added them to my leftovers for pen turning blanks. looks like gold flakes. Now I will make some bottle stopper blanks and your gig to turn them on. Thanks for all the great ideas. Keep those lessons coming .I love them... Michael
Thank you Michael. I use all kinds of materials in my acrylic blanks including the brass shavings from key makers. You are right, it does look like gold flakes. Glad you enjoyed this project and found it helpful. Take care.
Lovely skills and great looking end product.
Excellent work Stephen. I love it when you used your home made chatter tool, then you came in and coloured it with texta pens. Great ideas for me to use in my projects. many thanks.
One of the things keeping me from exploring this type of turning is the high dollar gizmos that seem to be required. Thanks for setting me straight. Been too busy to get much shop time of late but back at it later this week. Good luck at the shows. Cheers, Gord
Thank you Gord. I really appreciate it. Give it a go. Stop by the Hobby Lobby and pick up a couple of the bottle stoppers and grab a 8x1.25 threaded rod. You are ready to go. Glad you enjoyed this project.
I wish you would start doing more videos on Woodturning I miss you
Thank you Randy. So glad you are enjoying my channel. My last three videos are all Woodturning. Hope you enjoy watching them. Take care.
Love your projects. Thanks for taking the time to put out the videos.
Thank you Don. I really appreciate that comment. Glad you are enjoying my channel.
That jig is genius...great video Stephen
Thank you Mark. Glad you enjoyed this project.
Nice little fun piece thanks for sharing. Safe and happy shavings. David.
Thank you David. Glad you enjoyed this project.
Beautiful video, Stephen.
The bottle stopper look fabulous.
The ideas with the paint and the flutter of iron and the markers is a very good idea, thus you can make many different patterns.
Thank you Gunter. The chatter tool is a great accessory for turning on the end grain. Glad you enjoyed it my friend.
you did good I learned
Perfect timing Stephen !!! i was just looking at a bottle stopper kit online yesterday... i believe your system will be ideal for me ! Hobby Lobby , hardware store and the Winery just up the road is all i need ! thanks again Stephen .
HA!! There you go. Glad you found this project helpful. Glad you enjoyed it my friend. Happy stopper turning!
Thanks again Stephen and thanks for the colour idea. A nice effect. John from Australia.
Thank you John. Glad you enjoyed this project and found it helpful..
Greetings from Downunder, I love the way you use tools, I have just completed a six cut Celtic knot. I shall use Celtic Knots in my bottle stoppers. I am also experimenting with Epoxy and glitter in the turning and it's turning out well. Great vids, tanks.
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed this project. I have used the epoxy and glitter with some very nice effects. I believe your methods will give you some very interesting results.
Fantastic demo I'm sure I will really enjoy doing this. Thanks
Thank you Charles. Glad you enjoyed it my friend.
Great ideas - Nice result.
Alan Stratton
+As Wood Turns Thank you Alan. That is a true inspiration coming from you.
As Wood Turns open segment woodturning
Conque aspegado los cuatro trozos
Thats an awesome idea for the chuck! all i have is a faceplate but this will help me soo much!
Nice job,great idea with the markers to add color.
Thank you Marty. Glad you enjoyed this project.
Great to see you back Stephen, l finally decided to make the drum sander you used a while back. It looks good l need to start another segmented bowl now to try it out by sanding flat the rings. Really appreciate your videos, keep up the good work.
Thank you Larry. Glad you completed your sander build. You will not regret it. Just keep your hands away from the front. "Bad JU Ju) also I run mine around 1100 to 1200 rpm. Let me know how it works for you.
Well, l finally got to use my new drum sander today and it works great. A couple things deserve close attention; 1. You really need to hold on to the ring while feeding it into the spinning drum (or you'll need a catchers mit,) feed it very slow against the rotation, let the sand paper do it's job. 2. Most important; Before moving the adjustment up, pass the ring through several times until the paper stops cutting, (then and only then) move the table adjustment up in veeeeerrrrrry tiny increments. The segmented rings l made and passed through my new drum sander (at 1,000 rpm) are within .006 inch parallel. (No "bad JU JU's here)
Much easier and safer than using my 12 inch disc sander, Thanks again Stephen.
Looks good. I do mine much the same, except for the lacquer. Lol. Well, go get the tree limb!
Mark
Thank you Mark. Glad you enjoyed this project. Hey, the tree limbs do not turn themselves. Take care.
Nice video Stephen, thanks. Bottle stoppers make great gifts.
I am using the sharpening system from an earlier video of yours; have made some additional features and found a domestic source for the diamond disks.
Thank you Bill. I hope you enjoy your new sharpener. I have gotten very good feedback so far on the design. Can you tell me where you get your disks? Thank you and Take care.
Stephen, I got my diamond disks from www.kentsupplies.com, also listed as Kent Blades. 6" OD with 1/2" hole at center. I paid $13 each. Bought a 240 grit and 320 grit. I first tried every other abrasive option: silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, cut out sanding belts, emery cloth. Diamond is the way to go.I am glad I used a separate electric cooling fan (computer fan) for the sharpener motor.
thanks for the tips - nice job sir and beatiful musics during the video...congratulation from Brazil
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed this project.
That's a great mandrel for stoppers. Leave it to you to figure out something clever.
Enjoy the show,
Lee
Thank you Lee. Glad you enjoyed it my friend. I'm running out of time for the show and am really working hard out here in the shop. Take care.
absolute pleasure to watch, thanks.
Thank you Jim. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.
+Stephen Ogle easy watching! great work.
Those look so nice.
Thank you Edna. I really appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed this project.
Steve, Brilliant job mate. Just might have another go my self.
Thank you Malcolm. I am really glad you enjoyed this project.
Hi Stephen, thank you for your tips re the jig nice work all the best brad.(UK)
Thank you Brad. I'm glad you found this project helpful.
Excellent Stephen, I really enjoyed this video.
James
Thank you James. I appreciate it my friend.
Beautiful,thanks for the ideas ..
Hey. I'm new to turning...I love it! Great video and very helpful. I'll be tuning in. Thanks
Another great video Stephen. Cheers.
Good luck with your upcoming shows.
Thank you Glen. I really appreciate it my friend.
Hi Stephen! It´s a great Work. Thank you!!
Thank you Anton. Glad you enjoyed it my firend.
Steve once again great video I learn a lot from your videos keep them coming, beautiful work.
Thank you sir. Glad you enjoyed it and are still finding my channel helpful.
I sure miss your videos. Hope you are doing well. Maybe we'll see some more of your work soon.
Beautiful. Like!
Thank you Aleksey. Glad you enjoyed this project.
You can buy the metal part for the stoppers from Ruth Niles. She has very nice products plus a mandrel that fits into you headstock to turn the stopper top. A lot easier and you save several steps plus the trip to Hobby Lobby.
Thank you sir and I agree that Ruth Niles has very nice bottle stoppers. So does other suppliers. The only step that is added to this process is making your own jig (mandrel). Once you make the jig then the rest of the process is the same as any other brand because you only have to make one.
Thank you.
great video enjoyed it i will have to try some thanks Steve
Thank you James. Glad you enjoyed this project. If you try any, send me a pic. Take care.
Very very nice stephen, great ideas. Thanks for the tips and ideas.....really liked that. Cheers from south africa
Beautiful!!! Are they stainless steel? From Amazon?
great job wonderful
Thank you Pearl. So glad you enjoyed this project.
Great job my friend...
Cheers...
Thank you Adam. I really appreciate it, and I'm glad you enjoyed this project.
you are an artist Stepen Barry Bostwick
Thank you. Your comments are a true inspiration.
When I cut off a threaded rod for a lathe project I file the rod in the lathe ,while spinning, with a fine file. Works great for me, but watch out for your fingers. I'm going to try to make a chatter tool like yours. How long does the metal stick out of the handle? It seems like that would make a difference on the chatter marks the tool makes. Thanks for the video, it gave me several new ideas.
Thank you Gil. I never got around to putting a handle on the chatter tool. What matters is how far it hangs past the tool rest and the lathe speed. Chatter work is near impossible to reproduce because of these variables. Just play with it. Also it works really good on endgrain but not so well on say a bowl, although you can get interesting patterns on them also. Hope this helps.
really nice work
Really like what you do. Since you work with acrylic too, how about for the color part inlaying acrylic and "chatter" the acrylic? I'm pretty fond of smokey purple. Would love to see a video of you making that.
Thank you Chris. I like the idea of chattering acrylic, however it may not work. The chatter tool could just cut a groove. I will find out though I assure you. Thank you for the idea.
i would recommend Ruth Niles Stainless Steel Bottle Stoppers. much better than the Chrome plated ones that the Chrome can and does chip and flake off
Thank you Michael. I really appreciate your insight. I have not used the Ruth Niles stoppers, but will give it a try. Take care!
yw. Ruth has quite an array and also has a Morse Taper Mandrel that is held in the headstock with a drawbar, but the 3/8-16 threads on the mandrel is also a tap.
Excellent information! Thank you again. This can help people know about alternatives. I am anxious to check them out myself.
Just found your channel...really enjoying your videos
Thank you very much. I hope I can keep you watching. Take care.
Thanks Steve. Great video and a new supplier. On your waste acrylic stopper blank. DO you put it in a pressure pot after
you dump it into the mold?
Looks really nice! A real skill builder (which I badly need!). About how much do you ask for one of your stoppers? Oh, be careful cutting limbs in a high wind...sometimes the limbs win!!!
Thank you Earl. Everyone needs skill building practice. That is what Capt. Eddie says. "Make every cut a practice cut". I will wait until the wind dyes down a bit before going to work on them. Take care.
Earl, If you will send me an email at stvnogl@gmail.com I will talk to you about how much I charge. Look forward to hearing from you.
Good demo, Stephen. It's always nice to learn how to save money on jigs. One question: how do you melt down the acrylic scraps to get a turning blank?
Thank you Kim. Glad you enjoyed this project. I use two part acrylic for casting I don't know if you can actually remelt it for something else. Good question though. I see some experimenting in my future.
Did you reinforce the threads that you put on the bottle stopper too? I thought I saw some glue around it, but you didn't show that. I made one once and the threads stripped. Trying to avoid that,.
Thank you Kenneth. Yes I did use the thin CA on the threads of the stopper also. Just be careful, while the CA will strengthen the threads they are not nearly as hard the steel bolt and can still strip if it is tightened too much.
+Stephen Ogle Thanks. I didn't think I tightened it down to much, but it was the first thing I've ever threaded on to a mandrel. I'm going to try it again drilling the hole a bit smaller and I'll try the super glue to reinforce the threads some too. thanks for answering my question.
What do you usually sell those for?
One like is just not enough.
I wish I could raise two
Steve as usual great video, I learn so much from your videos. Question, my apologies I couldn't hear what are the specs on the tap thread
Hey Stephen, how are ya buddy? Great video, love the jig !! Have you ever tried a piece of scrap laminate or formica to burn grooves instead of using a black sharpie ? it give a great sharp burn line !! Thanks for sharing, regards, Steve.
Thank you Steve. Yes, I have used formica for burning lines. Works great. That is the method I used on the cedar bowl I did a couple of months ago. I have not tried it on a very small turning such as this though. I guess I need to give it a shot. Thanks buddy. Take care.
The Formica works well, also you can use a length of thin wire to burn the grooves. Sometimes nothing works as well as the ultra-sharp Sharpie.
Oh yes, I saw Stephen used the wire method.
So do you use a Minwax lacquer spray finish AND a lacquer based sanding sealer? Can you use the spray finish on pens? I"m never terribly satisfied with the shine of the Mylands friction polish and CA is a pain.
Scratch that....I saw how you finish a pen in your SpectraPlay review video.
Great looking stopper,s Stephen Question Do you put sanding sealer first sand the put another coat?
and what kind of lacquer to you use? Thanks Anthony
Thank you Anthony. Yes, The first coats of sanding sealer will seal the wood and raise the grain. When it hardens it can be sanded much smoother. I am simply using Minwax Spray Lacquer. I hope this helps.
Good video. I've noticed you have the same lathe that I do. do you have any problems with your banjo? i have to constantly adjust mine. Thanks again for your videos
Thank you George. I have not had problems with my banjo adjustment. What is it that you have to adjust?
👍👍
Thank you very much.
What skew were you using in this video? I like it and would like to get one. Thanks.
Thank you for your question. I have never really talked about them but they are from Craftsman. They are an older set. They hold an extremely sharp edge very well. Don't know if they are still available or not. I would like to have a full set. I hope this helps.
What kind of glue do you use to attach the threaded rods to the turned bottle stoppers.
+Glen Tilman I use CA (Superglue). I hope this helps.
Hey Stephen ... just curious ... what kind of price do you get for your stoppers?
Thank you Gerald. Glad you enjoyed this project.
Please send me an email and I will let you know what kind of pricing I use for my bottle stoppers. stvnogl@gmail.com
is there a specific wire to use when you burn the wood.
Thank you sir. I get my wire from music stores or guitar players. You can generally get used guitar strings for nothing. I like the guitar strings because they are different diameters. Get the whole set.
that's a great idea i never thought of that i am fairly new to turning and i am in the process of trying something different than the pens. Thank you again for the tips and ideas .
West did you use to burn in the lines on ur bottle stopper
Thank you sir. I use a guitar string with handles on the ends. Hope this helps.
where do you get wine stoppers with no top?
Good question Tyler. I got these at Hobby Lobby, however most all woodturning supply places have them. Try www.pennstateindustries.com or www.woodturnerscatalog.com for a good start. I know both of these places sell them. I hope this helps.
Instead of boogering the threads with pliers, have you ever thought of using a couple of nuts and a wrench? Easy handle and no wonky threads.
Thank you Bob. Very good advice. I just did not have 8x1.25 nuts to use as a jam nut. That would definitely have worked better. Take care and thanks for the suggestion.
any chance to inform the name of music around 16:00 ? - thanks
The music for my videos comes from the TH-cam creator music base. It can be used for videos without copyright infringement. Glad you like it.
Have you tried a CA finish?
Thank you for your question. Yes, I have used CA to finish projects I have a couple of videos covering my methods if you would be interested.
And you like the lacquer spray better for this project? Does it hold up better to use and washing? Just asking for my own personal use in the future.
Not sure if it is a better finish than the CA. It is very hard and it is much easier to use. I do not know about the washing but I can say that I have not gotten complaints about the lacquer washing off. CA is very hard but it takes very patient polishing to make it look as good as the Lacquer also. I hope this helps. Take care.
Stephen,How much?
Thank you John. I'm glad you like these stoppers. Please send me an email if you would like to know how I price them. stvnogl@gmail.com Take care!
Stephen, not to be rude, but you did not look well in this video. Was it a 100 degrees in the shop?
Thank you Robert. Thank you for the concern, but all is well. It really was around 100 degrees in the shop that day. LOL!
Nice project! I use Ruth Niles bottle stoppers too. She is a wood turner like us too. Her stoppers are made in the USA and she has stainless and now has a brass design. Here is her web site nilesbottlestoppers.com/
Thank you very much Patricia. You are the second person to mention these stoppers from Ruth Niles. You can rest assured that I will check out this site. Thank you again and Take care.
Stephen, check your Email you are using on the tube.
Lee
Really like the chatter tool idea. Will check out my Hobby Lobby for the stoppers Thanks
Thank you sir. Glad you enjoyed this project and found it helpful.
