I use a threaded drill chuck that screws onto my bench grinder. I drill a 1/8 in. hole as close to center of the cork as possible. I insert a 12p nail through the hole then put the exposed end of the nail into the jaws of the chuck and tighten down. I use a mill rasp for the rough work, then a file to shape,then sand paper to finish. You could use a drill press if you sped it up, it would vertical in stead of horizontal. I dont have a lathe but i imagine a small pen lathe would work nicely.

These are some of the ones I made. It's fun using something you made to catch fish. It fills some of the cold rainy days with a fish related activity.

I started making my own from used wine corks I got from a winery. I turn them down and use a bamboo skewer for the long center stick . Some I just drill a hole and peg them. You can experiment with shapes and sizes. I leave mine natural so they look like piece of wood floating on the water. I dont know if bright colors frighten fish or not. I will add pictures to my page soon.
