A cork bottle stopper can preserve the wine in an opened bottle.
In many instances, a bottle of wine is opened and not finished in the same sitting. In cases like these, a bottle stopper is necessary to protect the integrity of the liquid. Building a cork bottle stopper on your own can save you a significant amount of money from having to purchase one from a store. Making cork bottle stoppers on your own is a simple process that should not take longer than 30 minutes to complete successfully.
Instructions
1. Saw off the top of the threaded bolt using the hacksaw. Make sure that only the top of the threaded bolt is removed or the project will not work properly.
2. Mark the center of each cork with a small dot to indicate where to drill. Clamp down on the cork using the C-clamp to ensure that the cork does not move during the drilling process. Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the threaded bolt being used.
3. Drill a hole halfway down the center of the cork. Hold the drill completely straight to avoid destroying the cork.
4. Glue one end of the threaded bolt to the drawer pull. Insert the other end of the threaded bolt into the cork. Allow the pieces to dry for approximately 1 hour. Once the drying process is complete, the cork bottle stopper is ready for use.
