How I Made 26 Thin Blue Line Bottle Openers … For 1 Order! / DIY

There’s no doubt that the Patriotic AF Bottle Openers are too cool to pass up! They’re actually one of my top selling products of 2021 so I like to make sure I always have plenty in stock.
I made a previous video (on the channel!) about how to make an individual bottle opener and now, with getting in an order for 26 custom bottle openers, I decided to show you how I batch out large quantities of these openers!
This is also the process I use when I batch out these bottle openers for fair season! It saves time and money. The only difference here is that these do not have the magnetic catch in them.
Also, everyone has their own methods of doing things. So, if you have one that might make the process quicker or better in some way, feel free to comment below!! Just don’t be a D&$k about it!)

Wow! Great job I really like all the jigs you use definitely makes the job much easier and faster. I really dig that stamp with you logo, where did you get that one made at?

[@Rescue896]

Do you have the instructions on how to build the Key hole jig ? For the Bottle opener

[@breslaj4]

Dude, level out that table saw before you get hurt. Great video!

[@garyjohnson8573]

What is the size of the stars that you carved

[@Rescue896]

I plan to make a 5x10 wood flag, and would like to know from your side how big the flag jig to build or the 2 by 4 foot jig is enough to support the larger size.

I used Miniwax Royal Pine for the Thin Blue Line. It turned out great. Yours may be better.

@@TrueAmericanCraftsman thank you very much!

[@danhickey1186]

Can I ask you what you charged for one?

[@danhickey1186]

Thanks!

Do you make them with magnet to catch bottle cap? If so do you have video?

[@erindavis3648]

They look beautiful!
But why do you rip them down and then glue them back up? Couldn’t you stain the center, tape it off and then spray paint?

What brand and model CNC machine do you have?
