Thank you for doing this video! I tried making a corkscrew by wrapping it around another piece of stock, and failed miserably, lol! I really like your method of rolling it in the swage! And your comments regarding Costco being a man, and you working in the finest establishments had me rolling on the floor laughing! As always, thanks for the great video!
Steve, My Costco comment had you rolling with laughter and my wife boiling with anger! I'm going to try to do a corkscrew by wrapping around a rod - I did something similar when making a spring but it didn't go exactly as planned. It seems like the logical thing to try but it's not actually simple. Thanks again for your direct support / donation. Glen
Coolest wine glass I’ve ever seen.
Yo veo muchos vídeos de este artista. Me intriga mucho su taller y sobre todo, las bajas temperaturas con las que forja el hierro/acero.
You got that right. Thanks Jon. 😁
Hi Jose, Thanks for watching my channel.
Weird... We had that Sparkling wine with dinner last week and loved it. My previous favorite was by Barefoot. Love a nice sweet Moscato.
A coincidence for sure. This Moscato D'Asti is very easy drinking and I do have a sweet tooth. Thanks Ron.
I tried making a corkscrew once, but I only managed to make a spiraled piece of art that keeps showing up in my scrap pile. Nicely done!
Sounds very similar to me. This marks my first decent corkscrew. So from here, I'll improve the process and form. Long overdue for me but my range of blacksmithing skills is fairly limited. Thanks Rob for supporting my channel.
This is a project I have to try Moscato is our favorite wine
Thank you for informative video
Hey Alan, Yeah, this Moscato D'Asti wine is easy drinking. Thanks.
Thanks Glen, I was unaware that wine was served in coffee mugs in the finest of establishments!😂😂
Haha! 😁 Thanks for the good laugh Paul.
Marking the steel is beyond important... I always used to be...na...I will remember...
Pro Tip. You won't remember....
It's just so simple but often overlooked. Thanks for all your support Dan. 😬
I think after drawing down your material for the screw, I would have been tempted to wrap it around a mandrel and then stretch it like a spring to form the screw part of your corkscrew... Just goes to show there's more than one way to skin a cat!
Your temptation is correct. I just needed to finally make a useable corkscrew. Now, I'll improve my method and the form. Thanks jay.
I tried making a corkscrew a while back.
Similar problems - wire too thick, curls too wide. Also, the pitch of the spiral was inconsistent, which caused it to tear the cork apart.
I'll have to have another go.
I'm glad if this video could be of any help. I struggled to make a decent corkscrew and now that I have a working one, I'll improve the design and way of going about it. Thanks Nick.
Cheers mate. A cork screw is on my list to do. Your 'heads-up' about the screw will likely save me a bunch of frustration. Your videos are valuable on heaps of levels. Thanks for keeping them rolling.
I had enough trouble making a decent corkscrew so this was long overdue. I have some other ideas that should make this process better. Thanks James.
Sir, you are unquestionably the best creative blacksmith on TH-cam. Like a lot of people I tire of the smiths who use power hammers, hydraulic presses, heat treating ovens and other expensive gizmos and then proudly claim that they made a hammer or a set of tongs etc. There's nothing wrong with machinery but what does any of that prove on TH-cam? You, on the other hand, do everything by hand. Traditional and artistic. Thank you for your conservative approach to blacksmithing.
I know I'm not my most skilled blacksmith but I think my simple ways have their appeal. I really appreciate your overly generous comment. I'll continue to do my thing thanks to folks like you. 😬
I think the thickness of the bar should be the same all over the turns from start to end.
Yes, ideally it should be. But mine seldom turn out that way. I have some other ideas for how to go about this. Thanks.
Hard to beat costco😂
My wife would wholeheartedly agree. 😁
So kids if you didn't learn anything else from todays lesson rember size does matter when making corkscrews!
Yes, too big is not good and that sure makes me happy... 😬 Thanks my friend.
Lol Costco wino!
I gotta tell it like it is! Thanks for watching. 😁
By George I think "es got it! 😊
That's a nice design n useful tool. For a Costco Wino! 🙏🔥⚒️🧙🏼♂️
It sure took me long enough to figure out my mistakes. Now, being a wino is easier than ever! Thanks Crawford. 😁
Thanks Glen, as usual a very interesting video. Thanks for sharing
Hi Tony, I needed to do this. Now, I'll improve it from here on out. Thanks.
Pull and twist the coil
I'm slowly improving the way I go about making corkscrews. I'll post yet another update soon. Thanks Darrell.
I would not have thought Costco was in Taiwan. Looked it up and there are many there!
Yeah, for better or worse, Costco is here. Sure is nice to drink US milk, I'll definitely say that. Thanks Glenn
Nice job! Entertaining as usual. :)
I'll continue with perfecting my corkscrews. Thanks Dana. 😬
@@gstongs you are welcome, Glenn
Well, seems that one worked well enough, nice job Glen.
I finally made a working corkscrew! Now I will update this with some improvements. Thanks for all. 😁
Would of been funny if you unwrapped the top and it was a screw cap.
Haha! Luckily, I had this wine before 'cause that sure would have been silly and right up my alley. Thanks.
Another good project Glen!
Now that I have a working corkscrew, I'll take this to the next level. Thanks.
Extra Fine unwrapping 😁👍🏻
Haha! 'm not subtle or refined. Know thyself is important. Thanks Rick. 😁
Grande Glen!!!
🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂
Thanks Alberto. 😬
Looks like a tuff project.
Now that I've made a decent, working corkscrew, I'll streamline the process. Thanks Nick.
Just wrap it aroud a round shaft and you are done.
It's not quite as easy as that. But I'll continue with corkscrew making and improve my way. Thanks for watching.
That was fun. Good job Glen!
I needed to make a successful corkscrew. Now I'll tweak my way of going about this and improve the form. Thanks.
If thats a gerber blade, I have the same one!
Yes sir, A Gerber. I love that small knife. Thanks.
@@gstongs Nice, it's great!
