How to safe and sound 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 near a contraption that will hold the bottle firmly and still attach to the lathe. I have already cut the bottles with a damp tile saw, what i'm trying to do is use the spinning action of the lathe to aid in capably and quickly sanding the rims down. As far as the wood chuck go, do you think it'll be sufficient plenty to hold the cut bottle from the bottom?
Thanks!

Agree w/ dan.
A tapered plug to fit the mouth of the bottle for the live center & a cylindrical plug for a loose friction to fit inside .
Would make the cylindrical plug long for something to grab hold of to extract it..
Would also turn a "neck" that will be just inside the cut end.
Pressure on the late center should be enough for friction to hold it all together.
Might try a tile setters slither stone to true up the cut end & keep the speed down.
Could also wrap the bottle w/ video ...just in satchel.
Been doing some turning & figure something like that will work.

Hi, Josh, I'm trying to picture what you're doing but it sounds kinda "iffy" to me. Like, there is a risk involved and too many unpromising things can happen, especially since glass bottles are fragile and not necessarily round (concentric) and will probably wobble like mad while spinning. You sound handy; may I suggest another way?
They provide a number of attachments for a common electric/battery appendage drill (1/4" - 3/8" drive etc.). Some have a rather soft (rubber?) core near (as best I can describe it) strips of heavy duty abrasive (imagine strips of emory cloth but highly developed grade) that will expand (whip?) from the center with speed (rpm).
If you can secure your drill (a vice, friend, etc.,) you might know how to use these belts to smooth both the inside and outside sharp edges of the glass by gently rotating the bottles. Best I can come up next to. Be sure to wear your goggles and gloves just in satchel. Use you wood lathe for the more creative things you do. GL Source(s): 43 yrs as a machinist.
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 scrabble to see how this is done...
