There is a rod going through the plates and into the copper pole.

Oh ok. Duh to me lol. Didn't realize the plate must be one from something like a lazy susan with a hole in the middle lol. Now there's one more thing I'll have to look for at yard sales this summer lol. Thanks!

That's really pretty. Love the hardware you used for the center. Did you drill the plate?

Yes, I did drill the plates and the copper pipe to attach the plates to. I didn't want to use glue (don't need it falling apart,lol) and drilling the plates isn't all that hard. Slow and easy (don't rush,lol)

hjvager----The back plate isn't from a lazy susan, it is a regular dinner/platter plate. The plates don't come with holes already in them, I have to drill the holes.

LOL! What is so funny is I actually found a lazy susan with a plate similar to yours on it so I bought it. I have diamond drill bits I bought back when the glass blocks were big here and put them away and promptly forgot about them. Just found them when I was going through some stuff so maybe I'll try using them on some bottles I've saved. Thanks for the slow and easy tip!
