Gazz Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 The fork n' bottle opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Interesting indeed, I like the wrench holding the opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBones Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Billings and Spencer tool company has a pretty cool history. The founder got his skills for drop forging from the Colt firearms company. Pretty cool Gazz, i am also glad you left the open end with the logo. I love tools. The Snap-on and MAC truck are like shoes store to women for me. (yeah like i am the only one here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabumi Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 After calling the mom for mother's day, I had a bit of time to practice my birds. Tried making it so the beak opened the bottle, and it does, but I found the legs and tail grab the bottle cap way better, and it sits in top of the bottle. Yes, it does need to be straighter, and more symmetrical. But Its alot better than my first bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksmith-450 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 My first try with the stainless, really not easy to move this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rojo Pedro Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 What grade stainless? I made a steak turner out of ss (dont know what type) but it seemed like mild steel to forge. Is it 450 as in yz450 or wr450, ? the only sensible choices.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksmith-450 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I don't know... taken from a sissy bar of an old chopper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreekSideForge Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I think I’m going to make one of these as warm up for each session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way you've turned the second loop and really like the texture in the top one. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killbox21 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Here are a few that I have made over the last little bit. The dice one I used a drill press to make the dots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus_Aurelius Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Forged my first "functioning" bottle opener today With Lou L and JHCC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou L Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Love it! I’m glad you had a good time in my “shop”. You picked up little bits of instruction well and had good hammer control. You are on your way. Let’s try to schedule more meet-ups. Nevan was annoyed he missed the best part. Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn II Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Made this one the other day. 1/2" square stock. Upset, flattened, punched, and drifted the hole (first time!) Difficult to see, but the opener end is set on the diagonal of the square stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFC Snuffy Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Oh, nice! I've been wanting to try setting it on the diagonal, but my tooling isn't really up to it at t he moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn II Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I held the hot steel on the diagonal across the anvil and hammered the end "flat" to start the round part of the opener. Then punched and drifted the hole. Finished the hole on the horn, pushing the corners of the steel back into the round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I do a lot of coiled cobra paper weights, but this one has his mouth open to open bottles. 200mm of 12mm square bar. The worst part was drawing out the tail. (Not an original idea - saw something very similar on You-tube). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Nice work Aus! Looks like a quick seller. Better make more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I've see a small dragon headed opener where the top had 2 fangs chiseled in that left a bite mark on the bottle cap. Perhaps a variation for the fangs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBones Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Made a right handed bottle opener, or a dyslexic left hander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Flip it over; with some tweaking it would probably work fine either way---selling point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les L Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Billy, I like it, looks like a good “bet you can’t in 10 seconds with your left hand “ opener, or “you didn’t know your only supposed to use your right hand for this” when you give it to a left handed person.

BillyBones Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I will have to give my dad a try with it, he is left handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les L Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 My dad was left handed too, ever try rolling up an extension cord, that had been partially unrolled, by him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
