A different kind of mod
on: July 06, 2016, 12:53:37 AM
Or maybe it is not a mod since I started from scratch. At any rate this is a decent story and about making tools.

So the other day one of the girls at work wanted to do hands on blacksmithing (basically you pay $5 and you get to pound a piece of metal), and she wanted to make a bottle opener.  The slight problem being I had never made one, but said sure because I own more then I care to count and therefore line make one.  So I worked out a design and how to make it.  The design was a flat taper that curves around.  Basically my thought was of the slim projection on a SAK opener.  Is was a beautiful elegant solution, and I was able to take her through it.  But beauty often  seduces us on the way to truth.

The next day I decide to make another one as a sample, I wanted to test it out.  So, after finally finding bottles with caps, I tested it and the hook bent.  Given that I don't generally drink out of that kind of bottle, I underestimated the strength of a bottle cap and over estimated the steel I was working with. :facepalm:

So the next chance I got I tried making two other designs one of which a simple flattened out hook worked the treat.
