They worked great: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0065O60V8/ref=ox_ya_os_product

Incidentally for glue I ended up using Loctite’s Super Glue Gel Control. It’s been months and so far the bottle openers have been working in tip-top shape.

Also I used Red Oak and when I stained it, it turned out almost cherry in color.

Thanks for the idea

For instance, I usually open a fresh beer with an empty beer. All it takes is a little leverage (+1 physics). That way I don’t even have to find a bottle opener. Lighters, knives, some carbiners, and just about anything with an edge will work too.

Now I’ll just make my own. Hands FTW

The hot glue didn’t work out so well for both the magnets and the nail. Any suggestions on another type of glue? Someone said epoxy. What about titebond? That works well with wood, but this is wood and metal combined.

Best part is you get to test your work by cracking open a few beers.

This oughta be sweet and keep the guys talking while they open me another beer.

I love the extra detail of adding in the magnets!
