Blacksmithing: Forging a Beer Bottle Opener

In this video I am sharing the process of hand forging of beer bottle openers, using side draft forge and stone coal. A piece of metal I used is a square steel bar 10x10mm, 12cm long.
Blacksmithing techniques: drawing, bending and twisting.
The tools: anvil, rounding hammer, blacksmith vise, bending fork, blacksmith tongs, file / rasp, wire brush, a bucket of water and a good bottle of beer =)
No need of a power hammer.

You will also see and hear some of Sun Hill Forge wild and not so wild friends - our everyday support team. And finally we will check, how the bottle opener works and whether the beer tastes nice.
Hope you will find out something new about blacksmithing and enjoy your visit at our small but friendly countryside workshop!
