Thanks for the video there Cip. Iv'e been looking for a design for a mandrel and this might be the answer I'm looking for. I'm going to give your design a go.
Hi Cip, I keep trying to register to your TH-cam channel, but I'm not notified when you have a new video! it's been a few month's since I tried so fingers crossed it will register. I'm very new to the woodturning, only been turning for a couple of month's. I really enjoy every second at my mini lathe even the catches are getting more entertaining lol. I have been watching different turners turn bottle stoppers and I love the idea. Especially now I can save the money of a BOTTLE STOPPER MANDREL! I live in England and finding it difficult to buy woodturning accessories unless I want to pay the ridiculous postal charges, so knowing how to make the mandrel is a massive help. I'll have to see what size the bottle stopper threads are that we can buy here, having two size's just doesn't help eh! Why do they have to change the thread size?... if it ain't broken it don't need mending eh lol. Take care, I really enjoy your video's. Cheers Andy Yorkshire UK
Howdy there Andrew! I only published two videos this year and it is extremely difficult to get back into the swing of things. I have about 75 videos in my gallery. There are several bottle stopper projects that may prove informative. Kind regards.
Cip ... Thanks for the detailed info. I share the frustration. Years ago, I opposed the idea of converting to the metric system in the US. Now I wish we had. Metric is simpler and a lot of plans and instructions are based on the metric system, but local vendors carry almost nothing in metric sizes.
Very good video Cip. I just love the homemade stuff. If you need something and you can't wait for it or if you just can't afford it. That is what having a shop is all about, right? Thank you for a great video and presentation.
It is difficult to get imperial drill bits in the UK,, how do you manage ,? from 1/64 to 63/ 64 it might easier with metric ,, some great tips ,,Regards Alf
Greetings Alf! I have both imperial and metric bits. I am 66 years of and very use to imperial measures. I usually try to convert measurements because the rest world is metric. Thanks for watching. Kind Regards...
Great video. Why was it necessary to use the chuck ring? Couldn't you just as well have cut a tenon on the larger piece of wood that you could grip with your chuck jaws. Better yet, drill and tap the wood to thread directly onto the headstock spindle.
Hello! Louie,It was not necessary. I bought the ring and never used it. My other mandrel was attached to a faceplate. The nice thing about the ring is that it fits both of the chucks I use most often. Thanks for the comment,Cip Mendez
That sounds like a good idea. Taps are many time more expensive than a bolt. I think I could grind or cut some grooves to make it more like a tap. Thanks and Cheers.
+John Griffiths OK, sounds like something a might have said. It is easy to see this show is unrehearsed. I will speak to the writer and director. Cheers :)

Good idea Cip I wish I had seen this before I made my bottle stopper last week 😊.
Cheers and take care mate Bram
Greeting Bram! I used to make a lot of bottle stoppers. This made it easier for me. Stay away from the Covid. Cheers.

I try to do the conversions. I keep reminding myself that only about 50% of the viewers are from the US.
Thanks for the comment...Cip Mendez
Fantastic!! Thank you for the great instruction video.
Hello Richard! I hope you found the video informative. Kind Regards...
I always prefer home built items like yours here.

Me too! Thanks...Cip

Amazing Idea! Thank you soo much!

Muy buena idea, rápida y cómoda.
+Joaquin Guzman Gracias, Joaquin.
Awesome idea! Thanks for the video friend. New sub here!
Greeting Dark Horse! I hope you found this useful and thank you for subscribing. Cheers
Very tip, I like it. Where do you purchase the stoppers?
I purchased these at EZpots.com
Thanks for the comment,
Cip Mendez
Why not use a tap instead of a bolt? Then you could just tap the ore drilled blank onto the mandrel thus eliminating a step.
That sounds like a good idea. Taps are many time more expensive than a bolt. I think I could grind or cut some grooves to make it more like a tap. Thanks and Cheers.
good man
almost exactly ?
