Can anyone suggest where I can find a shop (laboratory suppliers/ home-made beer and spirits equiptment suppliers/ whatever) who would have cork bottle stoppers with about a half inch diameter - they are needed to stick up the bottom of two old (1930's) salt and pepper pots that I wish to give as an Xmas present.

I've tried cutting some used bottle corks down to size, but it just doesn't seem to work - so, as a last resort, any tips on how I could do that would be welcome.

Tomorrow I'll try sharpening the edge of some 15mm copper tube and using that as a cutter in a pillar-drill - maybe , just maybe that will work.

Try this can`t post a link don`t know how to do it but here goes WWW.yobrew.co.uk/shops.php then Scrool down the names Approx 55 down The Brewmart 25 Holme lane Hillsborough Telephone 01142325588 No idea if still there or any good. Also try ebay loads of corks on there depending on size new or used etc
(Thanks the magic of computers linked for me)

Don't think you'll have much luck slicing cork stoppers, - try cutting what you need out of a thin cork tile. Dunno if B&Q will sell you just the one ;)

Theres a brewing shop at the top of Abbey Lane(where it meets Chesterfield Rd) they`ll probably have them(don`t quote me on that though)!
