A Gonk With A Purpose

See how I came to be friends with Magnus Brewerson, defender of beer. A Viking gonk with a hidden stainless steel bottle stopper lurking inside ready to decapitate your chilled beverages. Anything with a crown cap claiming royal heritage he will have it's crown in an instant as any Viking invader would.

A great idea and excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing the links too.

[@prokraftuk]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheStanford01]

Thanks for giving the various dimensions as you go. It is very helpful.

[@prokraftuk]

Always check the kit dimensions first as specifications can change and we cannot do a new video for minor spec changes.

Hi Jon, I do believe I have a couple of these, that I haven't used yet, and what a great adaptation for it. Brilliant Jon. Take care. Cheers, Huw

Hi Jon...
That is such a cute little guy... and a great idea to put him to use as a bottle opener... it works really well...
I got some fur this week for making Gonks
I haven't got round to making my chess piece bottle opener yet. ... it's on my to do list...
Entertaining video as always...
Take care...All the best.....Andy

[@prokraftuk]

Thanks Andy - looking forward to see what you get up to.

[@seantonnesen1636]

Very nice

[@markduggan3451]

He looks great. He could be used as a pencil holder too.

[@mr.mickles]

Never heard the term "Gonk". I love it

[@prokraftuk]

It was originally a 1960's furry toy designed in London but has gone on to mean a little furry gnome-like figure.

[@morgancalvi6675]

That is one cute little guy. I have just one thing I want to add though. I have seen way too much violence in my lifetime and when I originally saw the sword and spear...I was reminded of a battle field. I'm sure others felt the same. That's probably not a plus.

[@Draklor00]

How old are you that when you see a sword or spear your 1st thought is a battlefield and not World of Warcraft or Ever Quest ? Or Brave Heart, I mean, the Japanese used swords on rare occasion in WW2 as a last ditch effort, my Grandpa shared those stories with me but to be a world war 2 vet you would have to be nearly if not pushing past 100

[@missteeturns]

Definitely agree that things need some purpose. Having said that I'm thinking small gonks on a chain for key rings or handbag decorations. Any thoughts on that Jon?

[@prokraftuk]

This little fella is about 120mm tall and I found it quite fiddly - best of luck with a keyring! Or maybe make a big keyring and drive a Unimog!

[@aggieturning5796]

Love the idea. I am across the pond in the great country of Texas… do you know where I can get the bottle opener kit in the USA?

[@prokraftuk]

I'm afraid we only ship from the UK but we do send to the USA regularly

[@patzwahl8341]

In Kansas, was thinking the same thing. Really cool project.
