Brass threaded inserts are used for easy removal of the artistic top piece as needed. Many artists make the tops and let people chose which base they like: stainless Whiskey, brass Whiskey, Niles bottle opener, etc.
The inside thread is 3/8″ x 16 tpi that will match all of my products. There is a solid band above the knurled area so you get a clean, smooth surface with no jagged spacing caused by the knurled surface. *note: if you have tear out of the threads in certain wood species, these inserts solve that problem. Drill a 7/16″ hole 5/8″ deep and push the inserts with the slits going up into the wood. You can either pound it in with a rubber mallet or thread the mandrel in and push it in that way (don’t rock the mandrel as that may make the top edge of the hole wider). When you thread in the mandrel, bottle stoppers or bottle openers, the insert ends spread slightly giving a tighter hold in the wood. You still may have to use glue with some soft or punky woods: if they go in tight, great. If they feel a little loose, take the insert out and put a few drops of glue inside the hole.

Rob Schmidt –
Your materials are top notch. The last order was my second time ordering and wanted to try some of your bottle stopper pieces. The bottle opener design has fetched great feedback so far. One comment I have is on the brass threaded inserts. The first time using them, I may not have drilled deep enough into the stabilized burl I was using and when the insert was pressed in, it squeezed the end together making it impossible to fully thread the bottle opener in. I remedied the situation by turning an accent spacer piece to take up the un-engaged thread space. I learn something new every time. Thank you for putting out a quality product. I’ll surely be back for more orders
