Beauty Kinfe. How about a quick how to.

Amy, good start. get a case of ales and research how to improve the operation of your device. I like to make them out of old shoes. Make the bottle opner and then twist it so the curve of the shoe makes a nice ergonomic handle. Result of extensive resurch.
I got through a couple of winters when I started out, making stuff for Christmas Fairs.
Fun, and the long term plan calls for a move into the smithing business.
