Industrial Corkscrew

UPDATE:  This corkscrew was sold on Ebay to a major collector from Romania.  Pretty cool that this will be in a collection 5000 miles away. 
These are still avaliable, made to order, on my Etsy page here.

I neglected to take any pictures while making this, so I'll try to explain the process instead.  On a whim I bought a couple of corkscrew blanks from a seller on Ebay.  Once I got them I wasn't sure what to do with them.  I had some diamond pattern tubing laying around, so I decided to use that as a handle.  The end caps are washers, held together with bolts and a coupling nut in the middle.  All of the nuts were "welded" together with JB Weld.  These are for sale on Etsy and Ebay.  Check my "For Sale" page for links.
