So last night the wife wanted to open a bottle of wine, but for some reason our cork screw(s) got up and walked away, probably via my alcoholic son when he left..
So anyway..I found a solution!
Enter one fat deck screw, a pair of large visegrips, a wooden bench vise and a screwdriver.. I drove the deck screw into the cork, squeezed the bottle in the vise, grabbed the screw with the visegrips, placed the screwdriver in the opening of the visegrips and VIOLA! My wife got slightly inebriated.. I don't drink so I enjoyed the reverse engineering of a bottle of wine cork..
