It’s not uncommon to buy or make something to remember a beloved DnD character by. It’s also not uncommon to have a drink nearby on RPG night. Electrician and YouTuber Wired Workshop has made an uncommon item, though – a custom beer mug for an alcoholic Barbarian, complete with battle axe and bottle opener.

In a tutorial video posted on August 7 (see below), the mug is rigorously tested to ensure the Barbarian (whose name is Tavern, according to a Reddit post) has everything they need for an adventuring evening. The tip of the axe blade is filed down to create an ideally-positioned bottle-opener; the wooden tankard is sufficiently beer-friendly; and the axe makes a passable weapon (if your opponent has a styrofoam face).

Wired Workshop first posted the project on their Instagram on July 15, showing off a 3D-printed mock-up mug. The final version is made of Redheart wood and steel which Wired Workshop cut, welded, glued, and glossed themselves in a basement-based workshop. This appears to be the channel’s first DnD DIY project, though their previous work has been based on equally nerdy properties, such as Halo and Aliens.
