🍺 Get ready to crack open a cold one with a project that is as fun to make as it is to use! In this lesson, we dive into creating custom bottle opener mounts using simple hardware inserts. Whether you want to make a classic handheld opener, a gear-shaped novelty item, or even a surfboard or guitar, this project is all about personalization. You'll learn how to design custom shapes from scratch, use the "tangent snapping" trick for professional-looking curves, and set up a multi-stage pocket to recess your hardware for a sleek, flush finish. This is a perfect beginner-friendly project that makes for an incredible gift or a quick item to batch out and sell! This lesson covers techniques compatible with Cut2D, VCarve, and Aspire.
