Bottle Stopper Kits
Bottle stoppers
have been around since man discovered that liquids can and will spill
out of a container if there is nothing there to prevent it.
Stoppers can be used for their intended purpose or can be used as
decorations. Many people collect wood from all over the world in
the form of stoppers, they make excellent gifts and are very easy to
make.
When comparing prices please be aware that we can ship 30 Deluxe stoppers by Priority Mail for $4.60
or 100 Deluxe stoppers By Priority Mail for $8.95 (two to
three day delivery). Shipping charges
can add a significant cost to your purchase and we do everything we
can in order to keep your shipping costs low. Insured
shipments cost extra. |

Sorry, but stoppers are
not yet available for beer cans

the
Shipping Terms & Information page regarding shipping charges
before ordering.
Deluxe
Bottle Stoppers
|
We are proud to have our own line of
stoppers in chrome, black titanium, gold titanium, bright
copper and solid Type 316 polished stainless steel. All
four of these stoppers
are highlighted by the black silicone rubber wedge. The
thread size is the same as the Penn State Industries and
Craft Supplies USA stoppers of the same design (3/8"-16
threads per inch).
This kit will
accommodate bottles having a 5/8" to 13/16" neck opening. |
|
|
|
A special note: |
| |
If you are selling your
stoppers I highly recommend that you use the stainless steel
model. It is a little more expensive than some of the
other models but you will never have to worry about a customer
bringing back the stopper to you because of corrosion problems.
The stainless steel stoppers are the only stoppers we guarantee
against any form of corrosion caused by any liquid that can be
safely consumed by human beings.
When in doubt use stainless steel. |

Arizona Silhouette Inc is proud to offer an
exclusive new material in our bottle stopper line - Type 316
stainless steel. Although these
stoppers are a little more expensive than the chrome and copper
stoppers, people who sell (or give away) the Type 316
SST stoppers are buying "piece of mind". Anyone who
makes stoppers looses control on how their pieces are used once
they leave their shop. Some people will use a regular chrome
or copper stopper they
purchased with a liquid material that is corrosive in nature
and, with long exposure, may eventually cause the
plating to flake or corrode (wine vinegars for example) . Type
316 SST will stand up to anything that a human may or want to
consume. When you sell one of our SST stoppers you don't
have to worry about it coming back to you unless the top
material has somehow failed.
Type 316
stainless steel is the best stainless steel for this type of application.
Used for their intended purpose, you do not have to concern yourself about corrosion.
The following information came from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel
:"Type 316—the second most common grade (after 304); for
food
and
surgical stainless steel uses; Alloy addition of molybdenum
prevents specific forms of corrosion. 316 steel is used in the
manufacture and handling of food and pharmaceutical products
where it is often required in order to
minimize metallic contamination. It is also known as "marine
grade" stainless steel due to its increased resistance to
chloride corrosion compared to type 304. SS316 is often used for
building
nuclear reprocessing plants. Most watches that are made of
stainless steel are made of Type 316L;....."
The hobbyist also has the option of altering the finish of this
stopper.
These stoppers can be glass-beaded for a satin finish, they can
be buffed to a higher gloss and they can be jeweled without
having to worry about working through any plating since there
isn't any plating. |
| |
| We can ship 30 of the Deluxe
stoppers for $4.75 by Flat Rate Priority Mail, 100
stoppers for $9.30 Flat Rate Priority Mail, or 160
stoppers for $12.50 Flat Rate Priority Mail.
Postal insurance is additional. |

stopper block. The handle is 7" long and comes

304 Stainless Steel Mini-Stoppers
Patent Pending |
 |
| |
We have received numerous requests
for a smaller bottle stopper made from stainless steel.
We are proud to introduce to you the Mini-Stopper!
Machined from one solid piece of 304 Stainless steel bar
stock, these little beauties are made right here in the
United States. They come with the same reliable & long
lasting black silicone rubber wedge seal found on all of
the stoppers we carry in this style (the seals are
pre-installed by us and you don't have to worry about
them breaking). This one piece unit comes with the
tenon cut with the same 3/8"-16 threads as our other
black silicone wedge stoppers.
The threaded tenon is not removable.
The Mini-Stoppers have an overall length of 2 11/32" (including the threaded tenon). Top of flat
base to the pointed tip measures approximately 1 7/8"
long and the base diameter measures approximately .734".
As you can see in the picture below the Mini-Stopper
fits lower in a bottle with a smaller opening. Keep in
mind that the inside hole diameter of wine bottles vary
as much as the selection of candy bars at your local
market. |

Berea Hardwoods Premium Bottle Stopper Kits
|
We are proud to supply two additional
platings of Berea's classy premium bottle stopper - black
titanium and gold titanium. The all chrome stoppers have
been available for some time and we wanted to do something
different with them and we believe we have. The rich black titanium
and gold titanium plating is highlighted by the whiteness of the
"O" rings and, as you can see in the pictures below, they really
are exceptional. The long lasting titanium plating over
the solid brass body gives these stoppers a feel not offered by
other stoppers. Each stopper weighs approximately 3 1/2
ounces. These
are perfect for that special piece of wood that you've been
holding back. |

| A special "Thanks!" to
Ed Davidson and Richard Kleinhenz for producing such fine work! |

PSI 'T' Handle Bottle Stopper
The corkscrew is an integral part
of the bottle stopper and is not available separately.
The 'T' handled stoppers shown above were made and photographed by Ed
Davidson.
| The 'T' handle on the corkscrew kits
provide superior leverage for opening corked wine bottles.
These are very easy to make as all you need is two short pen
blanks (1 1/2" long) to create the handles. The 'T'
handles also provide extra leverage (torque) when seating
the stopper into a bottle. No special mandrels are
needed to make this stopper. |

Making Bottle Stoppers
|
Compiled and photographed

Here are five different methods
to chuck a bottle stopper blank on your lathe. There
are probably several more, but these are the one's
I'm most familiar with. |
|
Method #
1...my favorite, with chrome cone style stopper
base: Blank is mounted using
Arizona Silhouette's hefty mandrel in
a drill chuck on the headstock. The blank was
drilled with a 23/64" bit. |

 |
|
Method #
2...chrome cone style stopper base, using PSI's
1" X 8tpi chuck mounted on the headstock. The
blank was drilled with a 11/32" bit. |

 |
|

 |
|
Method #
4...Berea All-Chrome stopper base: Blank is
mounted using
Arizona Silhouette's little mandrel in
a drill chuck on the headstock. The blank was
drilled with a 6mm or 15/64" bit |

 |
|
|
Method
#
5...My
least
favorite.
Chrome
cone
style stopper
base:
Blank
is
mounted
using
a
3/8"
metal
rod
about
2"
long,
in a
Nova
scroll
chuck.
Note
the
nail
that's
used
to
wedge
the
