DIY Magic Wine Bottle Holder - Floating Bottle Trick Houdini - Beginner woodworking Project

[@fontybits]

UPDATE: I used your specs EXACTLY - using Scots pine @ 90 mm wide + 45 mm thick. It's rock solid. Definitely the best tutorial for these on YT!

[@OzSawdustMakers]

Will give this a go my friend!!!! I have just purchased an Xtool S1 so i'm keen to customise. Borrowed/liberated some 100+ year old fence posts made of sweet sweet jarrah. So refining them with the Carbatech planer you recommended and off we go!

[@OzSawdustMakers]

Thank you mate. That's the aim here. I try and offer the full story as much as I can to help others in any way I can.

[@fontybits]

[@OzSawdustMakers]

How did you go mate?

[@fontybits]

@@OzSawdustMakers Worked perfectly!!! Even holds a 1 litre bottle of Baileys easily. Tx.

[@OzSawdustMakers]

@@fontybits That is awesome! Thanks so much for letting me know 👍🏼

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Nice quick project, and thanks for calculating the angle for us. I always wondered with these if they only work if the bottle if mostly full

[@OzSawdustMakers]

I wondered the same thing. I should have mentioned in the video that my design worked with both wine and spirit bottles that have different shapes. Both styles of bottles continued to balance after one or two drinks had been emptied, you just change how far you stick the bottle in the hole. However, once the bottle is below half full it wont work anymore, that just means you need to finish the bottle off and grab another! hahah

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Oz Sawdust Makers lol yes best to drink it quick, thanks for the update good to know.

[@OzSawdustMakers]

@@LonghornWorkshop Cheers mate, thanks for your support.

[@JIMMIX7]

Hi Oz, I am wanting to make some floating bottles for the grandkids, BUT I'm wanting to use the miniature bottles, have you any idea how I will go about this for ballance. I have tried several ways and failed. Any idvice would be appreciated. Thank you ;-)

[@OzSawdustMakers]

Hi James, great question. I dont have the answer but my advice would be to make a bottle holder (as above) and then cut 10mm off the bottom. Try that and if it doesnt work, take another 10mm off and keep going until you find the sweet spot. Good luck ✌🏼

[@MaximumChips]

Nice work. Look great. Can I suggest testing with an empty bottle of Bush Chook next time? What do you get for them at markets?

[@OzSawdustMakers]

hahah thanks mate. The pricing is one of the great things about these, because they are so quick to make and you can use scraps they don't cost much but your pricing can fluctuate depending on where you are trying to sell them. People will generally pay between $10 to $25 for one of these.

[@MaximumChips]

@@OzSawdustMakers That's pretty good for a little bit of work. Probably sell pretty well too? I'll add it to the list for when I get up and running and making stuff like this to get a bit of cash out of all these expenses setting up.

[@OzSawdustMakers]

@@MaximumChips Absolutely mate, you can't go wrong!

[@casabrigid]

Is the 40mm hole drilled at an angle??

[@OzSawdustMakers]

Hi mate, nope. Drill the hole straight through the timber, the only angle you need to worry about is the cut at the base. Cheers

[@SujMenon]

I initially thought it was held up by some heavy magnets 🧲 in the base!

[@OzSawdustMakers]

Nope. Thanks to physics you don't need magnets! And the wider the timber, the sturdier the balance. Thanks for commenting mate. Cheers!

[@daveholte7658]

Great video However my sample of a 33 degree cut off my protractor came out much more of a severe angle than your.... 33 degree bevel cut Wonder what I did wrong Still mastering that sweet spot Thanks

[@OzSawdustMakers]

Hi Dave, feel free to send me a photo, I would really like to work with you on this problem. Collaboration always yields the best results.

[@texgem]

What size forstener bit please ?

[@OzSawdustMakers]

Hi there, 40mm Forstner bit - All the details and specs are in the video ✌🏼

[@Hubbard1607]

How much do you sell them for?

[@OzSawdustMakers]

Hi mate, they sell anywhere between $5 and $50 depending on the finish

[@jordanassur7676]

Hi Is there any possibility dm you please?

[@OzSawdustMakers]

[@FixitFingers]

I think we'll be able to date these videos and rearrange them in chronogical order via the length of face fungus. 🤣

[@OzSawdustMakers]

Yeah it probably should come with a warning!

[@jcfsaiyan]

How much do they sell for on average?

[@OzSawdustMakers]
