The Woodshop Shed

My first lathe project. Beer bottle stopper - I guess you could us it in a wine bottle too.

About 2 years ago, Woodcraft went out of business. The owner retired. I purchased a lathe from their classroom because it was a great deal and he threw in a few tools to boot; I had yet to put the lathe to use.Getting into epoxy, I purchased a cheep cylinder mold to pour the excess epoxy into.I finally decided to try my luck. Well, it is round. Beyond that, nothing fancy. Since, despite my bantering with others on this site, I often have a partial beer waiting when I get to the no finger cutting ops of a project.I decided I needed a stopper. So, ta-da. My first lathe project.Certainly, the next one will be better.Thanks for visiting.Ps. Poppy (Poplar) and Teak say hello from the French Goat Bar & Drill.Pss. Just spayed it with polyurethane. It pops. But, then again. It might be eating the epoxy.
