Been thinking of trying to turn some bottle stoppers. Can someone provide a list of what I would need. I already have the lathe (its being shipped in from China) a 1220 VS. Beside the list of stuff I need is there a recommended video to purchase that shows all about making these things? And from searching around which bottle stopper kits do you guys recommend since there are several brands. I also saw that PSI sells a 1x8tpi screw on mandrel instead of the MT2 mandrel, which one is better? Looking at other sites it seems the blanks run $5 plus shipping. That seems pretty high to me especially for such a small piece of wood? Where do you guys get your blanks from?
Thanks
