- This video shows how I make a bottle opener with a water twist handle. The starting stock is 10mm mild steel square bar.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. So cool to watch. My grandfather in Brazil was a blacksmith. I loved going into his workshop on the farm. Sometimes, as a little girl, I’d peek in there at night when all the menfolk were out there talking and laughing around the fire (drinking some beer, I imagine.) I’m going to share this video with my two sons. Thank you!
That’s amazing, I’m glad you like it, I hope it sparks an interest for your sons too! Thanks for the lovely comment.
Nice, clean forging, nice, clean result! Thanks for sharing.
Bryson Alden thank you!
Wow, this is awesome. I need to make one!
I love the look of the twist! I'm just getting into blacksmithing to add a different element to my fabrications. This project looks perfect to add to my list of things to learn. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! The water twist is probably my favourite twist technique. It’s definitely worth trying. Best of luck!
First video of yours i've ever seen. Reallly like the result. You've just taught me a twist I didn't know existed. I'm definitely going to try this one, even if it comes out a little wonky I'll still be pleased. You just got another happy sub!
Moondog 1970 thank you! It’s my favourite twist but it’s still tricky to get even every time. More videos to follow this one!
Good job, like the twist! Subbed!
Thank you!
Nice looking bottle opener!
Thank you!
Looks sweet!
Thank you!
Nicely done sir! I do like the camera angles.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback!
Very decorative and interesting twist for that handle. Thanks...
Thank you!
It looks like you made the cuts clear through? If not how deep are they.
They are not very deep, a couple of mm at most.
Thank you sir.
Very nice work
Nice job and video angles, when upsetting the end of a bar its best to make a short heat section if its heated too far or too long cool it in water to consolidate the length, much easier to control without distorsion, its all practice, a small flare or fish tail scrolled over for the handle end would have finished that off differently.
Thank you!
Good drink choice 👌 what Torch do you use to heat up specific areas?
It's an oxypropane cutting torch
👍👍👍
Great job, also really nice filming.
Thanks!
One of my favourite openers. Maybe a dumb question? How come you use an oxy-acetylene cutter to warm the handle and not a heating torch?
Thanks! The oxy-fuel is much hotter than the flame from a standard plumbers heating torch
I didn't like the rounded end, thought that it deserved more than that, but... BUT... on seeing the finished article I thought that it looked just right. Great job.
As an aside, do you not have a touchmark? (This is my 1st visit to your site, now subscribed :) )
Thanks for your comment. I don’t yet have a touchmark, but I am planning to make one! Thanks
Great job! I have to ask about your fullering hammer [ used @1:41 ]. Is it a custom build? Could you do a video on its features?
Thanks! Its actually a fairly common tool called a fly press. It’s only very small, no.1 I think.
super tare
Bonjour mon chér ami bien
working cold steel.
That torch looks like it’s from space.
It’s never failed me!
Liked alot about it. Great camera angles, clear steps but that god awfull noize of the torch. Maybe turn down original audio down or run a noize canceling over it or something. Keep up the good work
Thanks for your feedback! Since making this, I’ve started using a proper editing software so the crap audio is no longer an issue.
what are you burning and where can i get it. the coal i get burns too fast
I am burning coke, which is quite commonly available here in the UK.
Es pesado y un poco "basto"
А я на другом конце делаю волюту. Петля такая кузнечная для тех, кто не в курсе. А здесь автор просто обрезал конец после торсиона и всё... Скучно сделал.
