Forging a bottle opener! #blacksmith #forging #beginner #project #ireland #bottle #traditional #fyp

Beautiful!

Besides the anvil and hammer what tools would you recommend for the beginner?

It was a Bottle Opener from the Beginning but nice Handle just that hole is to much

Nice work

Nice

Don’t have to upset it made may without it,
But you are better than me perhaps I’ll try that,
Thank you sir

honestly from what little experience i had with master blacksmiths you didnt knock your hammer against the anvil to better your grip/flip the hammer nearly enough xD

James, the Master Smith, brought all ye lasses and lads a welcomed lesson in not only how to forge a useful tool for opening a bottle of Guinness, but a conversation started too. Slán 🥰🔥⚒️

Very cool. I use my lighter. But this is cool too

that's cool

Wonderful tutorial. I’m going to go try it for myself! Wish me luck!

Got it next project a Japanese sword.

my bottle opener that i have forges is mutch easyer to make then that one 🤣🤣🤣

Ok, let me just go and set up my forge...

It's a bit thick for a bottle opener, but it works so no bother

"So now all you have to do is get out and do it"
No, first I have to get all the tools and a furnace...

why make a bottle opener out of a bottle opener with some more bottle openers on a bottle opener with like 500 bottle openers in the background???? Am i too German for this

As i german i can tell you that this thing was already a bottle opened before you started working on it

There's the difference between a blacksmith and a machinist. You can put a 1 inch hole in a 1/2 inch bar....

Beginner project, requiring: tongs, punch, chistle and/or slot drift, striking surface, heating mechanism, and hammer. Not very specialized at all!

Smacking in a slight divot at the far end helped me to get a good bottle cap grab every time, but it's not entirely necessary.

I never knew that twisting like that included small cuts in the metal, makes sense though

Good job bestie keep up the good work❤❤

That great, probably not THE strongest but still a vary necessarily strong opener!

I’ve already made a bottle opener but thanks for showing people how❤

I mean I would really love to do this but I'm german, bottles open if I just stare at them

That’s a nice project, but I’m german. In germany, anything can and will be used as a bottle opener.

ah yeah what a mad tutorial.

Let me do one too.

import random
import json
import sys
import tkinter
import modules.blacksmithing

SCREEN_WIDTH = 600
SCREEN_HEIGHT = 400

now just add 12,000 lines of code and you have a blacksmithing computer very easy stuff.

Now that you have all the code you need just wrap it up with main_menu().

Go ahead and program the whole thing it's very easy go do it...........

Havent got my anvil yet, that item seems to be important for this project

Here in NZ virtually all crown corks are now “twist-offs”. Haven’t used a bottle opener in years.

I can’t wait to try this!👍👍👍

Great work lassy

I wish I could afford an anvil

Ah yes, the good ol'church key.

Squaring the top also might be a good idea, looks great

The word 'beginner' totally convinced me i could do this, and now i desperately want to try!

My teeth are still working

I'm in the process of building my own forge

A bottle opener was one of my first welding projects. Not the most handsome thing in the world, but it's 100% my handiwork.

Was a bottle opener in the beginning. Not sure why he changed it.

I am going to make that I have all the tools

Well that's a bottle opener built to last if ever saw one.

it dosent work lol.....

I know my idiot self would try grabbing the hot steel with my hands. Probably only once though.

Sweeeeeeeet

There’s more emotional value when you make something yourself, it’s the best feeling.

Old word alert! I had to go spend 10 minutes reading about the origins of the word "upset" because that's what I do with my spare time, apparently.

Yeah, your mom likes that technique too.

Pro tip = you can buy a bic lighter and achieve the opening of bottle for 2 or 3 dollars at the convenience store and save yourself alot of time, money and headache from having to forge one of these albeit it's not a conversation piece...

or just get a flat piece of metal and hit the cap with it.

That turned our amazing. Keep doing what your doing

Thabk you! This is a great help!
