Introduction: BBQ Tool Rack and Bottle Cap Opener Station
This project is for my father. He likes to BBQ for the family and have a few Coronas. I felt this would be a great thing for him to have on the wall by his pit. He doesn't drink Abita beer much but I thought having a local brewry bottle opener would be nice.
Enjoy!

Step 1: Cuts
First I measured and made all of the necessary cuts.
4 - 1" x 6" x 2'
1 - 1" x 4" x 2'
2 - 1" x 4" x 4-1/4"
2 - 1" x 4" x 5"
3 - 1" x 1-1/2" x 2'
Step 2: Frame Up
Next I used the 1" x 1-1/2" x 2' pieces to frame the 5 boards for the face.
I used 2" nails used at an angle since my nails were too long. Worked every time.
The 4" board went in the middle to designate the bottle cap opener area.
I test fit the cap opener to see how it would look.
Step 3: Cap Drop & Tool Hangers
Next I added the cap drop.
I used the 4 small cuts from the 1" x 4" x 4' board.
Nailed these together and then nailed from the back side of the face boards.
I screwed the Abita bottle cap opener to make sure it looked like I wanted. It does.
Next I drilled the holes for the tool hangers. I am using cabinet nobs for the hangers.
Step 4: Sanding & Stain
Next I sanded the entire front area and the corners to prepare for staining.
Once the sanding was done, I did the stain. I used Dark Bark stain.
After staining, I added all of the parts.
Finished.
