Workshops have their essentials: work bench, table saw, power drill, but there's one tool I've been wanting to add for some time: a wall-mounted bottle opener. Sure, I could just use the opener in the kitchen drawer, but there's just something satisfying about cracking open with one hand. With a little work, some hardware off of Amazon, and some tricks I've learn along the way, here's how you can make your own wall-mount bottle opener.

What You’ll Need

For this project you’ll need the following:

Unfinished, untreated, sanded wood. I recommend a lighter wood like pine to help your design show through
Disposable foam brushes
400 grit sandpaper
Some type of finish to seal and protect your wood. I really like Poly Whey Furniture Finish
If you wold like to add the vintage wood look to your opener, follow the instructions on my post about oxidizing wood.
If you would like put a graphic on the wood plank, follow the instructions on my post about printing on wood.
Bottle opener and cap catcher
For this design, my concept was to make the opener feel like it came from an old wood barrel plant which had the brewery's logo stamped on. My personal favorite is Firestone Walker Brewing Company, but I also make a couple of other openers for some buddies based on their favorites breweries.
