Made a few bottle openers for friends and family.

I made one for myself and after seeing it got some requests. They are super easy to do so I obliged.

Hope you like them.

Where is the hardware from? The opener on the left looks vintage.

I bought them online brand new but added distress with sand paper, wax and sawdust.

I'm puzzled... How do they work?

You hang them on a wall. Use the opener and the cap falls down into the little box. They are fairly common here in mexico but Im not sure if they are a worldwide thing.

Thanks, now it makes sense. I initially thought you had to place the bottle in the box and perform some Kind of magic unknown to me. Never seen something lille that in Germany. But here actually everything is seen as a bottle opener if used right ;-)

Ha, I'm not sure if this is sarcasm. But I'll take it as a compliment.

Ha, thanks again then.

Do you have any tools? Start with easy stuff, like a box or a simple bench. Also don't get hung up if things don't line up perfectly, you can always correct a little. And sanding paper is your friend!

I have some work horses and a buzzsaw, but a bench is inbound, people like you have inspired me to try and commit to the hobby :)
