This has a bit of a knife blade on it, so I guess this is about the best section to put this thread...
I started with an el Cheap-o opener just to see what I could do with it... Really this came from a conversation on another forum because a guy bought his girlfriend/sommolier a really nice corkscrew...
Archer, if you see this thread, yes, this is more of what you sent me. I really like this stuff!
Here's what I've come up with from those pieces... and hours and hours of sanding... IF I were to do this "for real", I would make my own blade and pivot arm thingy and also use real pins and pivots, but this was a great proof of concept for me... I was also limits on size and shape due to the original liners. If I were to make it all myself, I wouldnt have that limitation...
Oiled several times with Gun Oil to bring out the color and grain...
