quick Christmas present

Hi All,

Just made a few of these in different woods to go with bottles for presents for a few people. Bottle counterbalances the wood. good for the ones you forget to buy for.

All the best

ok, this is pretty cool, so what is the length, size of hole, and angle of the dangle?

Hi Neil

My nephew made me one of those a few years ago and they're great fun.

Cheers

Great idea. Don't they have to be made specific to a bottles length, weight or whatever?

 

[CYC]

Cool.

How many experiments did it take to get it right.
You know not all bottles have the same shape :-#

Thanks guys,

clewisco, Will put a sketch on when I get home this eve,

garywayne and CYC, I have found that if you keep the wood thickness above 3/4" it will take most wine bottles however the dumpy Matious wine bottle needs a different angle as I found out yesterday thicker the wood more stable the bottle. Only had too attempts to get the hole position right so not too bad, just used a strip of wood put the hole through started at a long distance to the angle then shortened it on the second cut.

Cheers Neil
