I have been needing to make some Wine Bottle Balancers and have a couple of questions.
I have seen designs that were anywhere from 1 1/2" to 3" wide and also 3/4" to 1" thick and 8" to 12" in length.
Also I have seen the holes for the bottle neck 1" and 1 1/4" Dia.
I am guessing that a 7/8" to 1 " thick board would balance better than a 3/4" thick due to the larger footprint but would 3/4" be OK if that is all I have available ?
Also would a 1 1/4" hole for the bottle be too big for a board only 1 1/2" wide and would a 3/4" thick by 3" wide board balance better than a 1 1/2" or 2" wide board ?
I guess I could just try and find out but if anybody already knows, why reinvent the wheel.
Thanks
