rjR Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) We were using my wooden bottle openers over the holidays and my Grand-son-in-law; suggested that I make some of these. They are oak, and the wheels are also. The finish is a light torching then a wipe on to keep the char in place. Wheels are unfinished, but the axles are waxed to keep them turning easily! Pattern is an rjR--- . I did actually lay this out before cutting, usually do NOT on my toy cars. I also cut templates at the time of the original cut! An addition to the comment from original== YES; these are "Bottle tested veterans". I have made enough to cut the opener part without a real pattern! Cut a bit small if in doubt then open wider/ deeper with a file or re-saw it!
