Christmas, unexpected guest, whenever you need a present, consider having a supply of these "Wardrobe Scent Bottles " on hand.
Prepare a supply of disks about 50 mm. x 20 mm.
An easy way is to use double sided tape and sandwich disks between
"Guide disks".and work down to this diameter. Then hold them in a
chuck, (see below) and dome them on both sides
Drill a hole about 8 mm. almost through. A forstner bit gives a nice
clean hole.
Make decorative pegs to act as corks for the "flagon".
A piece of leather boot lace makes a good strap and fix it in place
with fancy upholstery nails.
When you are ready to make a presentation, fill the hole with a
perfume and, cork it.
The perfume slowly soaks through the wood and when hung in a wardrobe
reminds the recipient where it came from.

Make a chuck to easily work both sides of disks that are
similar but not necessarily the exact same diameter. It is worth
doing if you want to make up a batch for a project such as the
".Wardrobe Scent Bottles". I have a supply of faceplates made by
welding a nut that fits my headstock thread onto a disk and I use
them to make up chucks such as this .
Who needs an expensive 4-jaw chuck? I keep the Jubilee clip covered
with a bit of bike tyre tubing to save my knuckles>
