You’re mastering these! Great job.

Jim there great but #4 is amazing looks less likely to work

Which makes it so clever.

Great holders Jim, like the shapes and of course the touch of Aussie with the Kangaroo.
Pete there not a good market down this way, no balancers needed with the wine bottle, it’s all one motion, open, empty, open another one.

-- Bob C, Australia. I love sharing as long as it is not my tools

Hey,Larry, How well do they sell down there?
I had one that I took to a lot of sales and never got a bite on it and it was a cool one- made from walnut and maple. Then I sold it at the last sale and I got orders for 4 more.

Bob. I hear ya. I do the same. Not time to balance it around here. These are for the Christmas gift market.

Jamie, I just added a 6th picture of the 4th balancer at work. It was made with the old angle in the fixture so it does not balance level, but it is real stable. It was almost in the fire wood barrel!!

Pete and Monte, thanks for the nice words!!

Boy those are nice. I definiately like the kangroo in the middle. I think it adds a little more to the piece. Great job.

Jim, you’re doing the technology on these. Thanks for passing it on. Nice work btw.

Hey Bob, funny thing that eh, not much call over our way either, must be something to do with ‘down under” oopppsss’..... maybe shouldn’t have gone there ::: ))))

What a great collection Jim. I found that a 40mm hole was big enough to allow most bottles that I tried to slide in and out to achieve a perfect balance.

-- Harry, Western Australia

I found that I had better success with a 1-5/8” hole… It gave more room for minor adjustments of the bottles…

Haven’t been able to get back to it…

... but, I did have to go to 1-5/8” instead of 1.5”... it did make it better… for me…

Make a bunch of them and take them to your local wine store… Call ‘em “TwoFers” as in “I’ll swap you two of them for one bottle of wine!” Nice looking project. I drill mine at 90 degrees and use a big round over bit in my router table to round over the edges of both the hole and the outside of the wine holder.
