It’s been a very productive day! I’ve been learning how to forge out some traditional bottle openers. Switched up punch shape and drift sizes. I think I’ve got it down now. Just got to put in the hours and really get them dialed in. I also whipped up ten handles for a new batch of coffee scoops! (Not pictured)

Next weekend (Saturday 11th) Eaden Imaging, LLC and I will be at the first Lost Forest Coffeehouse & Pub Midtown Market from 12-6 pm! Come see us and go get yourself a coffee or an adult bevy!

P.S. Try the Banana Moon with a shot of rum. Thank me later!

We’re deep into the after Molly's Pint Brewpub recovery breakfast. Their St. Patrick’s Day shindig is always a blast. Well. At least what I can remember of it. (Lol) But I wanted to let Y’all know you can now find my bottle openers at Molly’s! The last count I had was 9 bottle openers. The railroad spike bottle opener was given to brewmaster extraordinaire Nick. If you’re interested in a bottle opener go check out Molly’s!

Bottle openers are priced at $10.

Also, if you’re interested in a RR spike bottle opener leave a comment down yonder!

I’m super happy with the way this scoop came out! It’ll be on the way to its new owner tomorrow.

Put on your takin off hats. We’re having a funeral.

Today we lay to rest $20 Walmart Skil Angle Grinder. I served with $20 Walmart Skil Angle Grinder for 14 years. He was one of the best damn angle grinders I’ve ever seen. We cut metal together. We cut plastic together. Hell, we even got a wild hair and did some wood work together. But such is life, and everything good must come to an end.

RIP in Pieces $20 Walmart Angle Grinder.

Well howdy folks! This is your Ol’ pal Nick. I’m finally out of business hibernation! Boy howdy has today been a busy one. I’ve been all over Southern Illinois picking up “new” material and shop supplies. Plus some interesting parts for a future project that might be for sale. Knocked out a custom order forged copper & steel coffee scoop. I’ve been heating and beating rebar for bottle openers. I’ll have a limited run of bottle openers made from some comically large bolts and some that are similar to the scoop handles. More info coming soon for the bottle openers.

If you’re interested in a coffee scoop. I don’t have any stock on hand personally. BUT! I do have seven scoops at Cold Blooded Coffee Co. and seven at Lost Forest Coffeehouse & Pub. If you pick one up at either location I’d greatly appreciate it! You will be supporting two small businesses at the same time! Small business inception! (Mind blown into the stratosphere)

Anyways. I guess that’s enough ramblings from a mad man. I’ll see y’all down the trail soon!
