This bottle opener is so EASY to make! All you need is some scrap wood and a nut/bolt. It is also super fun to use and is a fun trick to show off at parties.

Use the saw to cut wood to desired length.  You will want to sand your wood after to make sure it is safe for use.

Drill Hole

Drill hole at the end of the wood about 1/2" to 1" from the end.

Put the bolt in the hole.  

Leave the head of the bolt sticking out 1/2" to 3/4" from the wood.  Screw nut on end of bolt on the other side of the wood.

Have Fun!

I got this idea from a restaurant in Vietnam.  The waiter was really charasmatic and used this bottle opener.  He gave us each one to bring home.  It is lots of fun to use!
