As a full time professional
demonstrator on one of the largest woodworking show circuits in America
and Canada, I turn in front of crowds every weekend for 7 months out of the year.
Bottle Stoppers are always a huge crowd pleaser, so I turn tons of
them. I go from a square
block of wood to a finished bottle stopper in about 5 minutes. The
four stoppers below on the left are some of the ones I made in front of crowds at wood
shows. Two are walnut and two are ash. The center one on the right
was made during filming of my "I have a lathe. Now What?"
learn-to-turn video.

I have prepared an easy to
understand How-To DVD 48 minutes long, just for you. Everything you
need to know to get started off right is covered including
materials, accessories, methods and finishing.
Bonus #1
I have included a PDF file
with over 50 Full Sized, Fine-Line Drawings of Classic Bottle
Stopper Designs. Turning the stoppers is the easy part. Coming up
with good looking designs that flow well and have stunning eye
appeal is the hard part. You can print out any design you like and
use it right at the lathe to make a beautiful stopper. |

Here Is What You Will Learn
|
| We turn these three stoppers together
on the DVD -
Screw-On Stoppers
Cork

   |
| Note
Your total investment in bottle
stopper turning hardware should be less than $50 and includes
everything I list below. I don't sell any of it myself, but I do
list sources for you. |
| You will learn about Collet Chucks and Drawbars
used with 3/8" and 1/2" wooden dowels and where to get
them cheap! |
  |
| You will learn about Mandrels used with screw-on
stopper bottoms and where to get them. |

 |
| You Get a PDF file for your computer with over 50
full sized fine line drawings to print out and use at the lathe.
These are classic designs which will assure your success from the
first stopper. |

| This DVD is for all skill
levels. If you have never turned before, I recommend you view the
DVD "I have a lathe. Now what?" Bottle stoppers are a collection of
humps, hollows, flats and tapers. They are pretty easy and very
quick. It is useful if you can roll a bead and scoop out a cove. If
not, there are plenty of simple designs for you to choose from.

This information is for you
whether you have a mini lathe, or a midi lathe, or a full sized
lathe. I turn my stoppers on a Powermatic 3520A. At Woodworking
shows in front of large crowds, I turn on a Jet Mini Lathe. You
don't need lots of hardware or a big lathe to make really beautiful
bottle stoppers very quickly and easily. |
| Instant Finishing
I show you how to finish your stoppers right
on the lathe in about 2 minutes. |
Stoppers can be used for wine bottles, but
also for vinegar and for oil, especially olive oil. |

Resources
I give you the suppliers for everything you
need to make wonderful stoppers for your own family and friends.
Many folks sell them for a pretty good part time income.
I have a friend who has sold over 100,000
stoppers!
Yes, he is one of the folks who taught me. |

done. I'm old; that's the only way I know how to treat folks. Been
