Today in the shop I’m forging a simple bottle opener to show you how you can do it, and so I can get some more blacksmithing practice under my belt. This project will help you learn to control your hammer blows, hold your projects securely, make even tapers, smooth scrolls and bends, throw a twist into your projects, and leave a nice looking finish to your work. You can use these techniques on any number of forging projects, but whats important is that you get out and try making stuff. Good luck!
