November 17, 20205 yr Today I finished up my second attempt of making corkscrew. Drew up some plans based on a Mark Asprey video I found on the tube. Made from reclaimed automotive coil spring. I missed photos of the pre form and the slot punch and drift, as well as threading the eye. But here are some shots of what I did think to capture. Side by side of first and second attempt at the same stage...
November 18, 20205 yr In the last picture, it looks like the screw is riveted to the handle. Might be good to be able to fold it up for storage. Either way it's a good looking cork screw.
November 18, 20205 yr Author Oh. Humm. This one is free floating in the pass through. With a little more gap than I would have liked. Im also not super stoked on the comfort level of this style of handle. I may try a similar method but with different shaped wings as well. Im definitely going to be making more corkscrews with different design and construction. Maybe when I start getting really consistent screws I will try making a folder with a foil knife too. And thanks!
