Homemade Bottle Opener

8/14/2014

Today is Amber's husband's birthday and I wanted to try to make his gift this year. I thought I would stick to his two of his favorite things:  Beer and Ford Mustangs.  He has a love for hand crafted beers so I came up with a Mustang themed beer bottle opener. The final project turned out better than expected. Follow the steps below to make your own bottle opener.

Materials
     1 Piece of Wood 12 inches by 3 inches by 1/4 inch
     1 Piece of Wood 18 inches by 1 inches by 1/4 inch
     Hand Saw, Jig Saw, or Chop Saw
     Staple Gun or Small Nails and a Hammer
     Wood Filler
     Sandpaper
     Metal Bottle Opener
     2 Short Screws
     Metal Decal if desired
     Metal Glue if using a metal decal
     Paint or Stain if desired
     Foam Brush if painting or staining

Cut the 4 inch width board into two length, the first into 6 inches and the other 2 inches.
Cut the 2 inch width board into three lengths, the first two 1 3/4 inches and the other 3 inches.

Staple the two side pieces (1 3/4 X 1 inch) to the bottom piece (3 X 1 inch).
Staple the front piece (2 X 3 inches) to the three connected pieces.
Staple the put together piece to the back piece (6 X 3 inches).
Make sure the staples are flush with the wood and fill in the holes with the wood filler.

Once the filler is dry, sand smooth and paint or stained if desired. I did a grey wash on Aaron's.
Attach the metal decal, a magnet that I found out a craft store, with metal glue.
Lastly screw in the bottle opener, also found at the craft store, with the small screws.

That's it! Jack helped me out with cutting the boards and attaching the pieces together. We added a case of craft beer and a one of a kind, personalized gift!!!
