Bottle Stopper - glennw - 05-03-2016
Can anyone post a pic of the correct way or at least the way they mount a bottle stopper blank on their lathe I am not sure if I have been doing it right all these times I have been making them. Plus I want to turn the inside top half of the stopper but I need to see what I am doing wrong.

There is a good tutorial on Ruth Niles website. You can google it and check it out.

I always drilled the hole first and put it between centers until I was almost done then use a rod into the hole to finish turning.
Not that I am cheap just not enough money to buy everything we need, however it works really well.

i think i've got about 4 of PSI's bottle stopper chucks -- that's how i mount and turn bottle stoppers.
it's basically just a screw chuck, and works great for turning smaller stuff too -- like thimbles!

I use Ruth Niles mandrel for stoppers.
