Wine cork hidden compartment

Step 2Hollowing out the cork

Hollowing out the cork
Now we will begin hollowing out the interior of the cork.  You may find using a drill bit by hand will get you deep enough into the cork to the use the pick.  Work your way down until you reach about an 1/8" of an inch from the bottom of the cork.  Hollow out the inside as evenly as possible as you will need to slide the tubing in to act as the inside chamber. 

Take care at this point as the cork becomes delicate the more insides are removed.

Once this has been completed, cut your tubing to fit on the interior of the cork.  Insert tubing into the interior of the cork.  Make sure it hits the bottom while still leaving an 1/8" of tubing sticking out the top.  This will act as the lip for the lid.
