Yin Bottle Opener W/ Flathead Screwdriver - Made @TechShop!
I'm getting pretty good at making bottle openers so I thought I'd work with more organic shapes.
I'm also trying to take the class for the Tormach so in a way I guess this was a test of my milling skillz B)
Materials:
Sheet Metal
Tools:
Compass
Mill
Metal Sheer
Bench Grinders
Mallet
Files (specifically the Half-Round File)

Na-na-na-na-Mill Time!
Use a good sized End Mill to cut through the metal (not too big, not too small).
Carefully use the X and Y axis (Use them simultaneously to feel like a BADA$$!)
Cut out the "Yang" negative and Mill the Bottle Opener Hole.
