i got a jar of honey from a friend but when i tried to open it the lid was stuck. after trying to open it for quite a while and running a lot of hot water over it i finally got an idea. i made a strap wrench out of a jar opener some rope and a stick

Supplies

rope not too thick parachute cord works well
