Mr. French Toast and I would like to thank the hive for your helpful suggestions and let you know that Operation Wine Cork Place cards was a success! He consulted with some colleagues at work (insert geek talk), and they suggested that he use a disc sander.
Within 10 minutes, Mr. French Toast was able to sand down 125 wine corks. And here is a photo to document his labor of love:
The next step was to use a razor blade to cut a slit at the top, cut at a 45-degree angle so that the place card can slant a little to the back, making it easier to read.
Were there any DIY projects that seemed impossible but ended up being easier than you had imagined?
I don’t get it - do people just have these tools laying around haha?
Woah, like night and day in terms of difficulty! Glad it worked out.
YAY! they look awesome! So glad they turned out well for you! I love the quote too, so cute!
Fantastic!! They look GREAT!! And what a lovely quote, I’d totally keep that for myself 
If you didn’t stamp the quotes on these corks, which wine is it?! I want these corks for my collection!!
@TampaMegan: it’s from Mitchell-Katz winery, located in Pleasanton/Livermore county in the bay area.

Mrs. French Toast, Pleasanton, CA Age and Occupation: 29, Marketing & PR Fiance's Age and Occupation: IT geek by day, self-proclaimed handyman by night Engagement Date: October 2009 Wedding Date: March 2011 Venue: Palm Event Center About Me: I’m a city girl at heart who moved to the suburbs a year ago. Now I’m adjusting to life with a front lawn, nosy neighbors, cooking attempts, and making sure the garbage pail is pulled out on time every week! When I’m not traveling, Mr. FT and I enjoy marathon sessions of Law & Order: SVU, snowboarding, photography, spoiling our 3-year old yorkie-poodle Mokka and disagreeing over what music to listen to in the car. We’re planning a small winery wedding while incorporating some cultural elements into the day as a nod to our Chinese backgrounds.
