Fantastic, if a tad over engineered.

On the plus side, it's difficult to lose in the house. On the negative, it almost certaily requires a maid in a very short skirt and very high heels (ahem) servant to operate and if you have staff, you don't have to remember where you put the corkscrew yourself anyways...

One would need a bottle of wine after all that effort - what a silly waste of time. Indeed if it took me that long to get at my wine I would paint less figures.   :(

Only a tad.
I think some clockwork sring mechanism is needed. Wind it once and let do its job.

Having said that. I wish it was mine! :'(
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

The discussion I saw seemed to indicate this was a job seeker, who showed wrong tech skills.  lol

Not sure if I saw this link last week in a Yahoo group or on TMP, but everybody else seemed positive.

I had a problem with sloshing the vino too much. Also, didn't give it time to breathe. Clockwork mechanism needs a proper clock.
