Can opener #3

[preprius]

Most new cans have these rings that you put your finger nails under and pull.  I found a finger nail saver, can opener tool from Niles Bottle stoppers.  This is my 3rd one so far.

This is donated to a local "Cat Crew" that Traps Newter Release neighbor cats.  She sent me a picture of her cat and I used it as a pattern. 

I used red gum wood to capture the red tone of the cat.  Some wood grains go between the eyes. 

The offset tool allows space for fingers to get grab the wood better. This allows for a good pull.

I used Arm R Seal for finish / protection, 5 coats.  Cat food can get messy. 

The 2nd pic shows the cats face.  I just printed and glued to wood. Then drew lines where I wanted to cut.  #4 Spiral makes good eyeliner and lipstick.   #2 spiral was used for trimming whiskers. 

Me.

True story, year ago my wife and I were flying to go visit our son somewhere.  During the flight the flight attendant can around with beverages.  My wife ask for a can of juice.  The flight attendant handed her one, which the attendant opened the tab with a little opener she wore on her finger like a ring.  My wife an avid Pepsi drinker asked her where she got it.  The attendant replied she really didn't remember but said she would send the info if my wife gave her a mail address.  Must not have had email back then.  My wife gave her the address.  We were both thinking nothing would have come of it...but a couple months latter she got an envelope in the mail,,, Inside was the info of where to get them along with one of the openers as a gift.  I thought that was pretty cool.

What a fun idea. I especially like how you added your cat that brought a lot more interest in the project
