A few months ago as I was looking around for an elusive bottle opener that is suppose to be kept in one of our utensil drawers, I had had enough. I couldn't find it. We have two. I couldn't find either one.
What is it they say about a camels back?
Well as luck would have it I couldn't find them locally so I held off on the project. On weekends I would visit garage and estate sales to see if I could find one there.
Nope.
Then a few weeks ago I was contacted by someone that sells these Coolinary brand bottle openers. They had seen my DIY Beer and Wine Rack video and liked it so they offered to send me a few if I had plans for a follow up video to that project.
Well, not a follow up video, but a whole new project and I just happened to have need of the very thing they were offering.
My answer:
Thank you very much!

Final Thoughts
I have had many offers of companies offering to send me items to use in videos. However, up to this point, I have refused them.
The reasons are varied but usually it is centered around the requirements the company wants me to fulfill. If the product fits with what I'm doing and I feel it is worth me saying, "Hey, this product is ok.", then great.
If not, then I say thanks but no thanks.
In this case the only requirement was to build something and have fun.
Those are my kind of requirements that I am always willing to fulfill.
I hope that you will check them out and if you're ever in need of some bottle openers, you'll know where to go.
