Wine Bottle
Friday, January 7th, 2011How to secure a wine bottle to a wood Lathe?
So I'm trying to work with wine bottles on a wood lathe. I'm having trouble coming up with a contraption that will hold the bottle firmly and still attach to the lathe. I have already cut the bottles with a wet tile saw, what i'm trying to do is use the spinning action of the lathe to aid in efficiently and quickly sanding the rims down. As far as the wood chuck goes, do you think it'll be sufficient enough to hold the cut bottle from the bottom?
Thanks!

use a soft wood like pine and turn a chuck out of wood for a friction fit...you can also rig up a vacuum chuck for lathes...you would need to do a search to see how this is done...
