  • An old German educational film shows us the harvesting and production of a variety of cork appliances. I wonder whether much has changed. Certainly cork is not used that extensively anymore and the economy, employment etc. effected badly.

    Great educational film, beautifully shot. Meticulously shot to reveal the process. Love the sound effects. Do we know exactly who made it?

    If you boil an champagne cork it will return to its original shape, they are made with three different grades of cork in layers . One can make knife handles out of them or handles for fishing rods . If you have a brick with holes in it you can cork some of them to make an hot pot stand and if you cork some of the holes on the underside and then put candles in holes on top you have a rustic chandelier. To make holes in cork use a sharpened metal tube and turn under pressure. If boiled cork becomes soft and pliable so it can be shaped with pressure (into an non round shape). Cork handled fishing knifes will float and are non slippery and warm to the touch. Birch bark is perhaps better for a hunting knife.

    Are the cork scraps pressed into those big blocks with adhesive or pressure only?
