Wine bottle corks

Post: # 63144Post mybarnconversion »

Assuming I have all the cork pin-boards I could ever use, what else can I use wine bottle corks for???

Never have found anything really worthwhile to do with them!

camillitech - you must have some fantastic parties at your house!! :drunken:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
