[QUOTE="richg99, post: 252840, member: 4376"] My BIL wanted to use up some of the many wine corks that he has...( Hee hee)... He wanted some small, lightweight poppers made out of the corks. I took a two inch long coarse threaded wall-board screw; cut off the Phillips head; chucked the new "tool" into my electric drill. I jammed the screw into a cork; then held the spinning cork up against my belt sander and ...Viola!... a shaped cork. By bending the drill-driver you can shape the cork ( or other soft wood, like cedar) into pretty much any tapered shape that you want. He doesn't have a belt sander, so I suggested he simply glue some 60 grit sandpaper onto a flat board and just hold the spinning cork up against that. Slower, but should work well enough. Run some wire through the cork, attach some hooks.... paint and there you go. Of course, you could also start out with just a pine dowel (heavier) and work from there, too. regards, Rich [/QUOTE]
