I have seen pictures showing some sort of bottle opening plug that looks like a wooden assembly that appears to butterfly into the bottle. Not sure how else to describe it. Will try to figure out how to post a picture if needed.
I am new to this art. Just got Dan Berg's book. Are there other good books for beginners? Firs question: are there other "hinge" methods for the masts than he describes?
