Gold Bottle Holding Block.
The idea behind this block is to hold my bottle while I am transferring your gold from bottle to bottle especially after drying the gold and or after weighing of the gold. How you make the block, this will be shown in the below photos.
The first photo was what I was using, then I thought i can do better than that, which I feel I achieved. As they say it works for me and I do hope it will work as well for others.
Gut a length off the 4x2 about 3 inches long, come in from either end about an inch and drill the way through the block. It is a good idea to mark your drill bit the length of your bottle and drill to that mark. But do not drill through the block.
My first attempt.
What you will need a short length of 4x2 pine. A miter box, saw & drill sized to fit your gold bottles.

Come in from either end about an inch and drill the way through the block.

My 1st setting, a bit rough, but it's a start
Had a go at making a wooden handle ,i was very happy with the results it also feels good in the hand
I think it needs a bigger knob at the end as an anti slip measure.

Definitely pets. Plus they get rid of all our vegetable scraps and create great fertiliser.Jaros said:Are they pets or a future gourmet meal??
And also a great place to dispose of any thieves who get caught on the property
