KMS Woodworks on Oct 22, 2012A long time ago I removed the "widget" from the inside of a Guinness bottle by tying a big knot on the end of some mason line. I dropped the knot into the bottom then inverted the bottle...the widget fell to the narrow neck with the big knot behind it. pulling the string then pulled the knot up the widget and more pulling pulled both of them out together.Helpful Reply
