Bottle Stoppers

Here is a little router jig I put together to help make a few bottle stoppers. It mounts to the lathe tool post and gives quit a bit of flexability in making cut on work mounted on the SS.

Nice work!!!!

What is the indexing disk mounted to? What is the detent mounted to?
Looks like a great setup.
When you make the cuts with the router are the surfaces as polished as the final pictures or do you have to buff each cut out? If so what do you use.

I noticed a buffing wheel on the other end of the power head, what is used for? tools or the turnings?

Great! Wow! You've done Super work! If I had to pick a favorite (nobody asked ) it would be the Blue one with the Star in the top. Followed by the light green one with many flutes, followed by...... I think you get the idea. - - They are all Beautiful!!!!:D

Impressive work, very nice. Looks to be an ingenious, and functional jig you devised.

Now this is really cool.

A Shopsmith multitasking!

I hope a tutorial follows, like the source of the plastic, how the buffing wheel mounts (I think I can guess that one), etc.

Thanks for sharing.

Great looking bottle stoppers. Very clever idea. Show us some more when you get them finished.

Great looking work!!

I can tell you my attempt at stoppers did not turn out like this. Maybe someday.

I am impressed. I have turned some stoppers, but have not used an indexing guide. Please respond with your setup. A picture is worth a lot, but descriptions help flesh out the concept.

WOW!

may we have lots more information, please?

where do you get your materials?

Beautiful work.
If Ms. Wolf sees this she will wonder why I can't make her the decorative door knobs she has been wanting.
I can hear it now... "Well just make a bigger version and attach it to the hardware"!
To which I would answer... if I only had that kind of talent!
Great stuff, and I'd like to hear more about how you do it also.
