[@fryedchicken09]

[@JackmanWorks]

Oh you fancy!!

[@GrazMakes]

thats mr. fancy to you!

[@WilliamLutesMaker]

HERO STATUS ACHIEVED !!!!!!

[@GrazMakes]

ha! well Im just glad I can help the thirsty citizens of youtube stay hydrated ;-)

[@timsway]

of course you're a lefty. We need to lobby the tool companies. you're on the petition :)

[@JackmanWorks]

I'm in!

[@GrazMakes]

a fellow leftie! I owe you a left handed high five! the only problem with the petition, is that all the names get smudged due to being left handed :-/

[@skewedmaker]

I'm a southpaw as well!

[@derekforestier1708]

The disappearing magic trick at the end was great! Great idea, and great video

[@GrazMakes]

ha! wasn't a trick i was doing on purpose, but yeah, its disappeared REAL fast!

[@KeithDecent]

nicely done. i love the concept and execution!

[@GrazMakes]

thanks for the love keith!

[@letsmakesomethingawesometo8266]

brilliant idea. You could easily (and probably cheaply) manufacture these with the help of a waterjet. I'd totally use those if I ever had to wear dress shirts again 😂

[@GrazMakes]

thank you! thats a great idea! now to find a waterjet on craigslist...

[@letsmakesomethingawesometo8266]

Graz Makes look locally for waterjet cutting services. The last company I worked for had two waterjets the size of my current shop. The machines aren't very home/small shop friendly (until the $4k Waze desktop waterjet is released).

[@GrazMakes]

hmmm thats a good idea! if people like them enough maybe make a small batch...

[@davebauerart]

That reminds me of my spatula recreation project. I want to make recreations of a vintage spatula that some in the online spatula community regard as the best ever made. I think this could be a big deal. Maybe a regular CNC would do the trick though.

[@GrazMakes]

you have no idea how much reading the line "online spatula community" made my day :-)

[@phil.pinsky]

Pretty damn cool Graz. I appreciate a man who can hide his alcohol paraphernalia on his personage.

[@GrazMakes]

heh heh thanks! you should have seen where I used to hide it.

[@jaredhildabrant13]

Great idea! Great execution. Great beard!

[@GrazMakes]

great comment!

[@MichaelLawing]

Super cool! I feel like the #everydaycarry crowd would dig this.

[@GrazMakes]

thanks! thats good thinking! I'll post on an edc reddit and see if they like/hate it :-)

[@LivefreeanddiyTv]

Great idea, nice work 🤓👍🏼

[@GrazMakes]

thank you! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ThePaulus2010]

Dewd you rock! Awesome idea.. I just stumbled on to your channel accidentally. But i have to say you fit the bill. The looks, the ideas.. The dramatic filming.. Very cool.

[@GrazMakes]

wow thanks man!! i really appreciate the love! stay tuned for more videos!!!

[@davebauerart]

Great idea and video execution. You belt sander rip reminds me of my experience sanding a cookie thickness gauge for my wife.

[@GrazMakes]

thank you! cookie thickness gauge?! tell me more!

[@davebauerart]

Ha! It was a piece of scrap wood, 1/8 inch thick to see if we rolled out the dough about the right thickness. I bet there could be some interesting ways to make that more exciting.

[@TheGrantAlexander]

That is actually a really cool idea and I don't understand how it hasn't taken off yet!

[@andii1701]

Awesome!! For version 2 you should feature the ability to open a beer when the stay is still in the collar!

[@GrazMakes]

ha! back to the drawing board!

[@49cfr]

Great video, great concept, loved it. I have a bit of an obsession with unusual bottle openers and I bet this is the only one of its type. I wouldn't try to wear them when going through airport security; they are not forbidden (since they are probably one of a kind and aren't dangerous) but you would have some explaining to do. :)

[@GrazMakes]

funny, I had the same thought about getting through TSA! though explaining that they are bottle openers would be kind of amazing.

[@danthemakerman]

Very creative! Great video man! Are you on Instructables? If not you should be.

[@GrazMakes]

thanks you! Im not, I will certainly look into it!

[@mbsh2100]

John! Amazing work! Can u make me a pair, will pay you

[@GrazMakes]

you got it buddy!

[@mbsh2100]

Awesome! You sure do awesome work!

[@mickmacrina4431]

Bith! (First)

[@heyimamaker]

You only remove your knuckles once. Well that is until the next time. Nice "life hack".

[@GrazMakes]

More like "knuckle hack" :-)
