#1 | | Bottle stopper w/captive ring Name: Charles City: Wilmington State: NC County: New Hanover Join Date: Nov 2005 Age: 62  11-29-2008, 01:07 PM
Just playing around this morning and decided to make some more bottle stoppers for Christmas. This is Cocobolo and I decided to try a captive ring. I had never made a ring before, so here is a first. While finishing I began to wonder if, after too many bottles at one time, will someone catch a finger in the ring, drop the bottle on the floor, cut themself, go to hospital, be admitted, and miss Christmas. Wow, captive rings come with a big responsibility. www.ncwoodworker.net/pp/data/500/medium/Cocobolo_captive_ring.jpg | | Views: 227 | |

Charles, I have been waiting for something special to make my 1000th post. .gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)")
Your Bottle Stopper with captive ring sure qualifies. Now....how did you do it? 
I've made a few Bottle Stoppers but have never thought about a captive ring.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.
