Would I be able to open up the frame and remove the cork?

I think so. Not 100% sure, because my boards are now screwed onto my wall and can't be easily removed. But, I think the cork can removed from the back side. I mean, there's gotta be a way, no?

I don't think so. The opener is a narrow cylinder about 11 inches long by a 2 inch diameter with a motorized corkscrew in it.. I put a little pressure on the opener and take care to keep the opener straight. If you don't keep the opener straight , it can end up splitting/weakening the cork. Extraction then becomes difficult.I really like this opener, but I have occasionally not kept the opener straight enough and have had to use a manual corkscrew to finish the job.

You could probably build it without the wine holder but it's not removable.

I think it depends on the cork but to be honest you are in control of the corkscrew and can stop it before this happens. It works very well.

Technically I guess you could, as the knife is made up of some pretty sturdy stuff, but I don't think that was an intended use. That said, I have opens bottles up with it before by using the holes in the side.

You may be able to the top is secure by bent metal so to take it off you would probably use needle nose pliers to open it

Insert metal pick or tiny screwdriver into cork and hold cork steady while pressing top toggle button.

I've only used it a couple of times, but I think if you just hit the up arrow after the cork is removed, the cork should drop out. Hope this helps.

I don't think so. The cork surface will warp if exposed to excess moisture. If it's located in a sheltered area it may be ok. Good luck.

You can but it will look a little odd. It can be put together without though and still function properly. Without the wine bottle holder piece it has a couple of wooden planks visible in the middle section. It wouldn't look bad though. Good luck

You need a small Philips screwdriver to remove all of the screws, and once you pull apart the body use the screwdriver to push down the cork while pressing the 'up' button that would ordinarily eject the cork. It's a pain in the neck to do, yet possible with patience.

No there is an up and down button. After cork is removed you push the down button and cork comes out of the unit

Very easily. Just lift the handle and the cork is released from the device itself. Smooth as silk. I love this thing!

twist the opener from the top to the portion with the needle and pull the cork off.

As the cork board is framed, I would say cutting it wouldn't be wise. As to how thick it is, I don't know. However, when hanging a calendar, we found it best to use at least two push pins. Hope this helps!

I think I have removed synthetic corks, they are getting so realistic I am not sure.I don't see why not.

Yes, you do remove the cork from the needle. There is a plastic disk that you push on so you don't have to touch the cork or needle. It took me a minute to figure that out, but it does slide off easily once you get it.
