Making A Bottle Opener From An Old Cedar Fence Post

[Laughter] [Music] [Music] so as you can tell that did not go well the bottle opener broke and honest I should have seen it coming it was a design flaw I'm actually making two prototypes for this thing there's one of them right here that worked great but I didn't like how how big they were you know right here it's just too bulky and odd-looking so I wanted to slim that down so and the one I made for the video I put less meat there which is essentially what caused it to break that and the fact that it was cedar is not a very strong wood so the lever just sheared the the grain off and broke it so no that didn't work I've got a whole new design this is actually the exact same bottle opener in the video I just cut off that bottom part that broke and then that's screwed on I'll let you see this up close I screwed on the little opener so it's on there solid I can't break that off the screws aren't coming out those are half-inch long screws going in there polished it all up really nice and neat and looks really cool I actually kind of like that look with the screws in there I'm considering possibly selling these I want to use it a little bit more make sure that there is nothing wrong with it this this is wood here and I love the idea of using all wood on these instead of metal but if this wears out over the overuse then I'll probably switch this out for a steel or brass so it has better we're better than that be on the lookout I might be throwing these up on the website real soon I appreciate you guys tuning in and I'll see you all next time
