I made one for myself and after seeing it got some requests. They are super easy to do so I obliged.

Hope you like them.

I'm puzzled... How do they work?

[–] panchzila@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You hang them on a wall. Use the opener and the cap falls down into the little box. They are fairly common here in mexico but Im not sure if they are a worldwide thing.

Thanks, now it makes sense. I initially thought you had to place the bottle in the box and perform some Kind of magic unknown to me. Never seen something lille that in Germany. But here actually everything is seen as a bottle opener if used right ;-)

Where is the hardware from? The opener on the left looks vintage.

Bump, I'm curious about this myself!

I bought them online brand new but added distress with sand paper, wax and sawdust.

So cool man, I aspire to make stuff like this

Ha, I'm not sure if this is sarcasm. But I'll take it as a compliment.

Looks great! Love how something like this can be super fun. Can even get try hard sometimes and do fancier stuff

Goodb job!

[–] panchzila@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

thanks! It was indeed fun, and making something that is fast and easy but gets people happy is rewarding.
