How to Forge a Bottle Opener From an Old Horseshoe - Blacksmithing With Ancient Tools

In this video I used a scrap horseshoe to make a bottle opener, with a nice horse head design handle. As we were in the forge at the National Heritage Centre for Horseracing, Newmarket, I used some ancient blacksmith tools as part of the process.
