Michael Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Here's one I did a couple weeks ago. 2nd attempt, first one I didn't punch squarely and the ring broke while shaping it. Ran out of time (had to pick up the kid) before I could punch lanyard hole or forge a hook on the gripping end end. Next one I'll try making from a RR spike.

mtncrawler Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 While I do claim to have made several of these, I have to give design credit - as well as teaching me the skills to create - to Mark Aspery. Mark, I know you're lurking out there from time to time. Hope you're doing well and you had a good summer in Tuolumne? Mike Fort Collins, CO.

firebug Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Here is my first attempt at the Donkey wine bottle opener that Hofi makes. I do another one that he demonstrated that I will post at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borntoolate Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Gonna make a bunch of these. Can't seem to keep them around. Looking for ideas. This is my first one. Don't have pics of others cuz they disappear. Well i give them away mostly... I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wroughton Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 This is the type that sells the best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel OF Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 With keyring bottle openers I find that people want them as light as possible. They are made from 8mm round bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 It's kind of primative but it was the first one that actually opened bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobshagg Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Here is my bottle opener, I've done several of these, they are easy and fun. Testing to make sure they work is the best part. http://www.iforgeiron.com/gallery/image/37314-bottle-opener-fattire/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 These are the ones I found I like the best. Not the quickest or easiest to make, I have to command a high price for them with the time involved. But I seem to sell lots of them.... These are made from 100yr old wrought iron, and they are beefy. Feel great in your hand, and have a heftiness quality that people seem to love. Here's two I just finished up for people: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wroughton Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Very nice Black Frog. Most people won't know what wrought iron is but the rest of us know that it takes more than a moderate amount of skill to not have it split or fall apart when you're making the business end. I like the heat colors too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 .....to not have it split or fall apart when you're making the business end. It still does happen once and awhile, no matter how carefully I'm going at it.... I swear at it a bit to make myself feel better and toss it into the reject pile and move on to the next one. ;) I do these in black oil finish too, but some people really like the colors.
