I think that's why he wanted it sharpened but this is how I use the WhaleSlayer to cut wax.

This is amazing! Multipurpose. Love it!

hotmetal Still Backed up on orders?

Yes sir, very much so. I just started working at a new brewery 2 weeks ago and I'm having a big party this weekend. I won't be back in the forge until next weekend and then it will just be part time with my new job.

I think someone needs to up his price.

I snagged a bottle opener at Huna Day last year. The thing is going to outlive me. Make sure to update your will when you acquire one of these bad ass beverage emancepators

 

[HopAG]

Whoa....

ISO: Whale slaying device

 

[Imstillthegman]

I've been waiting on the unofficial list since Huna day when I couldn't hunt him down to purchase one that day. It will be worth the wait for an opener Whæl.

 

[DenverBeerDrinker]

I sent a message about getting on the list but never heard back

 

[hotmetal]

A couple of new openers I made.

 

[DenverBeerDrinker]

Is there a wait list I can get on?

Nice work!

ISO Double Headed Battleaxe Opener!

 

[Alt_Mann]

Beautiful opener for bock beer season!

 

[hotmetal]

Is there a wait list I can get on?

I have a full time job right now and I'm not getting to make many openers right now. I'm really not taking any more orders until I get down to the double digits on the waiting list then I will start back adding more people. I never imagined so many people would want these things.

 

[DenverBeerDrinker]

When you get down to double digits please put my name on the list to get you back up to triple digits

 

[DigDug1810]

You do great work my friend, people want quality items. I'd love one of these bad boys. Please keep us posted on the list and when you will start back adding more people! Cheers

Dude quit your job and up your prices

 

[DenverBeerDrinker]

If you do other metal work (railing for the walk and stuff like that) I'd be interested in talking about some other stuff I'd like to get done for my house. Hard to find people who do quality work and take pride in what they do.

I've only done one big commissioned piece before. It was a double archway for a cemetery driveway. I was given almost a year to do it in my spare time. I didn't even keep up with my time on it, I just made them a price and they agreed to it. They were so happy they gave me a $500 bonus after I installed it. I don't think I'd feel comfortable doing anything that big right now. Man the shipping on something like railing would be crazy. Most railings now are made out of square tubing and shaped on a machine. I only use solid steel and hand form it. If this job at the brewery don't work out I will probably go back to doing this full time, if that happens I'd love to do something like that again.
Thanks
J.R.

I know someone in the Denver area who does pretty amazing custom metal work...cool dude, I don't think he hand forges, though. Let me know if you want info.

New opener for a friend that works at Backlash Beer Company

Link no work! Nooo.

Would you be able to make one similar to your ram's head one but with upward horns for a Darkness bottle?

I would very, very much like to be put in line for one (or more depending on price) of these please!

How should I go about submitting a request/style desired?

These are so damn badass...talk about making a great bday gift for a beer lover

 

[hotmetal]

 

[1987GN]

Dude, I would very much like to purchase one of these from you.

BRB greatest wedding gift a beer nerd can receive.

 

[hotmetal]

Just did a photo shoot for a local rag on my blacksmithing. I play around with photography myself but could never take this shot alone. I had dude take my camera and take these shots for me after I set them up.

I've been on the "list" since last Hunaphu Day, when I ran around frantically trying to find hotmetal for 2 hours. Ghost Whælz mane.
