I'd be interested in buying 10. I don't know if I need the mandrel or not- do these have a different size from other bottle stoppers that all seem to use the same madrel? Not sure if anyone can answer that for me or not, but in the past, when I've bought bottle stopper kits from AS or just about other company, I've had one bottle stopper mandrel I use- but this thread makes me wonder if these will take a different mandrel? If anyone can answer that, I'd sure aprpeciate it!
 
I think if your other mandrel is for a 3/8x16 thread it should be fine. The main difference will be the top diameter of the metal stopper. If your existing mandrel doesn't have the integrated tap, I think that alone is worth the cost.

Hi Angela,
I have the AS stopper mandrel and it's threaded the same as the Ruth Niles stoppers. However the base of the of the Ruth Niles stopper is about a 1/8" larger in diameter than the small stopper bushing sold by AS. That actually works fine for me because I use bushings as a rough guide anyway. I could easily turn my own bushing if needed.

I have a couple Ruth Niles stoppers if you want to check them out for yourself. Just let me know.

Nope, please wait until I order from Ruth and get final numbers. From there I will enter it into my spreadsheet and see if I am short. I may not need any extra :)

thanks for checking

Stephen,
Just wanting clarification. Are we to send you the extra $1.00 at this point?

Thanks,
Dave

Put me down for 10 stoppers and one mandrel. Since it's kind of crunch time I probably won't have a chance to check out Dave's so I'll just go ahead and get some. But I think the mandrel would be a good thing for me to have- since the sizes are different, I kind of need mandrels to guide me. Just let me know how to go about paying you and I'll get that done today.

Everyone has paid and I just placed the order. Ruth said they would be shipped out today. I should be able to get everyone's order shipped by Monday next week.


Since we got to 300 stoppers, I will not need any extra money from anyone.

I received the package from Ruth on Saturday. I will be getting everything boxed up today and dropped off at the post office this afternoon.

I have donated $23.54 to IAP from the remaining funds I had from the group buy.


A big thanks to all you that joined in on the group buy and helped support the IAP.



Steve
 
Thank you for all your hard work Steve. I'm sure this group buy was a handful, but your efforts are very much appreciated.
