My best mate Phil, affectionately known as mr Blobby to his friends, has been beavering away in his bedroom for a while and come up with this. Up until 3 years ago, before I discovered helis and before I moved from Bristol to Taunton, we spent quite a bit of time together,working on projects and messing about, but he is now a touch neglected, so its time for me to give him a bit of support.....

please take a look at the link and if you find it interesting pass the link on to you mates. Its certainly going well so far and he has raised the money needed to take it to the next step. Any comments and feed back would I am sure also be greately appreciated......

so, go on, have a look and help out mr Blobby...

thats why I love you Paul.....

Does look a beautiful item.. something a bit different to the usual opener but find it hard to see why it took so much design work? Is it electric?

It's a really nice corkscrew... but at £50 I think it's going to be a very niche market.

Good luck to Blobby.

How/Where can I buy one?

Click on the link in the first post, it is a KickStarter so you need to pledge there to get one.

It is a good looking corkscrew no doubt, but in a world where the screw-cap is rapidly replacing the cork I think I'll manage with the ones I've got until they become obsolete.

Good luck to him though, he is already fully funded so no worries for this project, I look forward to whatever comes next.

I can put you in touch if you do want one.... pm me

thanks for the replies so far chaps (except Geek of course:D) Its taken some time as this has been done alongside a job and looking after two young girls, and while learning the cad packages, finding companies for the first time, to make it, doing all the tooling drawings etc etc. He has plenty more ideas that sit together in a range, and although this one is "niche" , I think the appeal will broaden as the range increases.

Yeah i think pitch it to the right market/people and he could do well with it... obviously the general market wont be interested in spending £50 on it but there is a niche who will.. good luck to him :-)
