2. A padsaw to cut the circle out
3. A pencil to draw a circle or a easy shape on the cork
4. A bottle to draw the circle
5. Sandpaper for the finish

But before you start you have check your workplace:
- Can you work safe?
- Do you have the skill to handle the machine?
- Is your workplace bright enough?

When do you have answered everythink with YES we can start.....

Hold your bottle on the cork and with your other hand draw with the pencil along the Bottle.

When you are finish it is time to you the padsaw:
- Cut your draw out of the corkground
- Take your time to finish it
- It does not matter if you failed the line a little bit


If you cut it out it is time for the finishing....
