I have been turning flip-flop poppers since reading about them on here last winter. It?s a lot of fun and all the ideas everyone shared helped the learning curve immensely.
I was at my sister in laws a while back and took a couple of here wine corks to try and make some cork poppers. Next thing you know she delivers a huge bag of them and I still hadn?t used the original ones (I guess she like wine, alot).
So I tried 2 and they both kept slipping on the needle and I would rather not have a hole through the center if it could be avoided. I would like to cut a slot in the bottom and mount them off center if possible.
What I am looking for is an alternative way to mount them on the lathe. I have tried using epoxy to glue them to the head of a roofing nail. It works OK but takes time. I figured I would ask and see if there is anyone else that has done this a different way or just has another idea.
