Silicon Bottle Stopper Kits

I have used Silicon Bottle Stopper Kits from Pennstate Industries. Item Number BS5. You get 10 kits for $8.95. Someone posted a few years ago about using these kits. He tells how to make a device to hold them while turning them.

I modified a fence from my old Delta 10 Table saw. I have a big piece of white oak I needed to re-saw, and the old delta fence with modifications works great.

I have used my impact on quite a few things. Like Ed said they were almost a necessity if you rode dirt bikes. It has gotten me out of a bind many a time, I worked as a mechanic for over 30 years.
