I came over from watching you on Gridlessness with the knife making and Julia's leather skills. I am a crafter myself of wood and using acrylic len blanks, but not to make pens. So I understand your talent and whenever I subscribe to a new channel, I like to start watching the 1st video and go forward. Your skills will definitely do you very well. Thanks for posting as I will watch more ov your videos.
Very nice, i think you have created a new standard like the dragonheads, there will come many scorpionopeners after this. Keep up the good work. Regards Steffen Denmark
Very Nice Little openers. I Liked the Cat, and the bottle at the top of the tree. If i Might give a little advice. when you are rounding a taper. Such as the taper behind the stinger. At the 2:03 minute mark. I see you " Pulling" your hammer and turning the piece to fast as to help round the taper. but that is how you are getting the little bit of twist in it. You should rather strike straight down at the angle of the taper working in line to the steel knocking the edges off, then turn and knock the edges off again. Continuing until the taper is round. So 4 sides become 8 and 16 and 32 and 64, and so on until it is smooth. you can achieve a very smooth taper this way. Great job. I am enjoying the videos very much. keep them coming.
Just subbed to help promote not only your channel but mainly the Smithing community!!! Keep going and I like the bottle openers. Make more to get better and they'll sell.!!!~
A bit concerned about using the ball-pein hammer as a punch (as someone else has already commented). As John, from Black Bear Forge would say, I hope that you "wear your safety glasses". Love the vid and the scorpions, really nice. Thanks for sharing. (Give the cat a fuss from me and my wife!)
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it. I definitely always have my safety glasses, but I agree, a proper ball punch would be better for future bottle openers.
Those bottle openers look good. I wouldn't use boiled linseed oil OR WD-40 on anything that is coming into contact with food/beverages. Cooking oil or beeswax are safer options. Other than that, good work.
😂the Jones soda at the top of a tree!!
Those turned out sweet 🤙🏼
Thanks!

Opening the bottle at the top of the tree was BRILLIANT! And the scorpions are dry cool.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.

Good job
Nice design! But curious question, is the snow colder up top the tree than down on the ground? 😂
I don't know if it's colder, but it is more exciting! Ha ha, Thanks
Nice work young man
Thankyou!

need to be careful hitting the two hammers together unless you soften one of them. could chip off and injury you
Thanks for the advice. I don't use this often, but I really should make an actual ball punch that size.
Странное ощущение... Гриндер, УШМ (болгарка) и простой наждак мастеру похоже неизвестны.
Может в этом что-то есть, но это мазохизм какой-то 😊.
Классная открывашка👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
