Project Information

i had a request to make a tipper for a crown royal bottle. i have made several for wine bottles so i accepted the challenge.
The board is 5 1/2 " wide by 12 1/2" long.
I drilled an 1 1/2" hole 6 1/2 inches from the bottom.
I cut the ends at a 30 degree angle.
finished with 2 coats of tung oil varnish and a couple coats of laquer after the tung oil dried.
fun project and conversation piece when people try to figure what holds the tipper up without tipping over.

Beautiful and deceptively simple..

Thanks for the dims. I think I'm going to have to make one.

Does the hole location move around for different bottles?

Very nice!

This is a neat project but I have the question as Andre! Can you put it back after you spill some into a glass?

Edit…My guess would be yes! I think the center of gravity remains the same no matter what the weight is on the stand as long as you do have weight on it it should stay balanced.

i didnt get a chance o find an empty crown bottle to do my 1/4 full, 1/2 full, and 3/4 full test like i did on the wine tippers i made.

i cant drink because of meds i take so im hoping the people that get this let me know how it works.

you might have to pull the neck out a little to get it to balance. crown bottles are shaped kind of goofy for this.

thanks for looking everyone
