How to

1. Start by collecting champagne corks, or wine corks, that will do the trick too.

When you have one for each member of the family, you can start tinkering.

2. Take a plank of wood, 2 medium-sized screws, a dowel suitable for the size of the screw, a champagne cork as well as a ruler and a pencil. And a drill of course.

3. Make a cross with your ruler and pencil to find the center of the board.
