I've wanted some cork fish floats to incorporate into lamps for a while now but the only place i can seem to find them is on ebay. I was looking at some the other day but after postage and converting to Aus. dollars i can't justify the cost at the moment and then i realized i could make some. So.....

.....i bought a couple of 6 packs of 12" X 12" cork floor tiles from the hardware store and glued them together and then cut them into 1/4's.....

.....then i prepped them.....

.....and cut them into circles on the table saw.....

.....then i drilled a hole in the center.....

.....rounded over all the edges on the router......

.....and then after a quick sanding, voila, homemade cork fish floats.
