After doing itty bitty, these seem gigantic to me. My first try at bottle stoppers.
The kits are Woodcraft screw-on chrome with sylicon "O" rings. They go together very quickly, but I had a problem.
The instructions said to use a 6mm drill. I bought the starter kit (Four Stoppers and Drill Bit) Can't tell if it is 6mm, but it drills a hole WAY too large.:mad:
I was making my first one out of Aeromatic Cedar and it spun off the mandril and wouldn't stay on the stopper; just dropped off?:confused: Next one was the Walnut you see in the picture. It was ok.:rolleyes: Tonight I started with Hard Maple ................Same as Cedar! HMMMMMMMMMMM.:mad: :mad: Said the "H" with this and got a 7/32" drill. NOW THAT works great.:cool:
In the Picture #1 is Hard Maple, #2 is Walnut, #3 is Black Locust, and #4 is Osage Orange.
Thanks for lookin'
