[Woodcarver] mass production

[Maura Macaluso]

 Liking that Denny...rework original cap...interesting...maybe with the right cap


Insert a small cap into the wooden prototype.  The cap can be a
material that is known to withstand the solvents used in the nail
polish and not adhere to the polish... maybe the original cap from the
bottle of nail polish?  Rework it to make it fit the prototype.
