ausfire Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 While making a bull's head bottle opener recently I was a bit careless punching the eyes. Usually I get them level, but a slip with the punch left one eye lower than the other. The result is a strange looking bull. However, it led to an idea. Why not make a cow's head that looks a bit crazy? So I did a couple of bottle openers with cow's heads deliberately dodgy. I think they might go well at a popular Townsville nightclub called 'The Mad Cow' , so I stamped that on the shaft. Any other ideas of how to make a crazy looking cow?

Jackdawg Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Mad Cow? - you mean the cowboys league club ? A bit of tongue out one side of the mouth might assist in the loony look, dont know if that is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Stamp the mad cow a bit more irregularly too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Maybe put a little twist on the head so it doesn't line up with the shaft so nicely. Slightly different sized eyes perhaps. Those look really nice regardless. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Thanks for the ideas. Not sure how I could add a bit of tongue hanging out but that would look good. I'll try one with different sized eyes and twist the head offline a bit. And yes, easy to jumble the letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 drill a hole in the mouth and solder in a bit of copper wire and flatten it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSW Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 The dragons I've seen done with tongues all had them forged out, then tig welded in place. You could also change the design and use an open mouth and use that as the opener, sort of like the "claw" style openers vs the loop style you are using now. That would give you a lot of foam around the mouth after you open the beer possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad enough that they blow bubbles through the nostrils when you quench them! Kids like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kozzy Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Heh...having had a bull that's not mean but so dumb you'd think he was crazy, this made me chuckle. On a weird side note, cattle almost always have a "whorl" of the hair on their face. It is said that the higher that whorl is on the face above the eye-line, the crazier the bovine's temperament. Some people swear by this method of judging cattle temperament but the "research" has been pretty subjective and ripe with confirmation bias. I wonder if it works with eyebrows and picking a spouse too? (check's old photos of his crazy ex wife) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Did her eyebrows come together in a whorl in the middle of her forehead? Do you really need to look at a photo to see? Uh . . . Ah . . . Nevermind I'm not asking where you were looking. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
