- In this video, Mark demonstrates how to properly cut a wine bottle with a glass specific diamond blade for the best cuts. He also demonstrates the use of the 12 inch Covington grinder to grind and polish the rim of the wine bottle and how to create an interior and exterior bevel on the rim of the cut wine bottle to create a drinking glass.
Happy Holidays! Cheers to a healthy prosperous 2024!
You're telling me all I have to do is spend over $10K on machines and to make some drinking glasses just spend $20 per bottle/glass? Well damn I'm sold.
+Zac Fitzgerald a tile saw and a lap wheel for $10,000? maybe his cost that much in his nice shop but you can buy the smaller or used versions of those machines for fairly cheap. you can get each for a few hundred new or you could go on craigslist and get them for less than 100 each. i had already cut bottles with my tile saw before i saw this video so i knew the bottle was going to give at the end and chip the lip.
Thanks for knowing a joke when you see one and playing along Jason.
no i mean i see your point. the title says "how to turn bottles into drinking glasses" which sounds like a DIY project to save money and then the guy has a professional lapidary shop. i just keep seeing comments like this and i want people to know they can actually afford doing this to bottles.
+Zac Fitzgerald et al, This video is not meant as a DIY type of situation but more for people wishing to start a business making drinking glasses and candle holder from wine bottles producing multiple hundreds of glasses at a a time. There are many techniques out there for smaller quantities and hobbyist production, this routine is just a training visual for larger scale production. Thanks for everyone's comments though.
+hisglassworksinc and how much would each drinking glass had to cost for this to be a viable business?
Dude, I gave you a thumbs up but get that label off so we can see the finished glass.
I enjoy watching random instructional videos when I can't sleep and figure I may as well learn new and different processes, trades, and tricks. This is hands down one of the best instructional videos I've had the pleasure to watch! It makes me want to try my hand working with glass next. Keep up the great work!
Wow! Thanks so much. I really appreciate that. Glad that you enjoyed the video. They are fun to make and I wish I had time to do more. Makes me happy that you enjoyed watching it.
Just one word for the video and the presentation : "AWESOME"
This is very helpful. Thank you for posting. x :)
Thank you. I had an inkling there was a more professional method to cutting glass than the string and stress techniques I see so often. I have an idea for some art pieces (not drinking glasses!) and what you’ve shown is exciting
TY, for showing us this professional-level video. Unfortunately, most of us mortals don't have anything close to your level of investment.
This video is meant more for those who wish to start a business making drinking glasses or candle holders from wine bottles. Definitely excessive for only making a few of these. This is more for making hundreds of these a day.
excellent instructions :)
love the demo of diamond saw NOT cutting the hand :)
Don't know about the glass, but this is very charming person!
Excellent instruction and video!
Great video. Started using the Covington flat lap a year ago and I should have watched this then! So informative. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
you are the ferrari of the cutting glass...❤
great video!!! well done...
This is absolutely amazing I love it such great ideas
I enjoyed that, thanks, I see how that might be applied to lots of different glass projects.
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the techniques shown translate into many other glass projects.
This video is highly instructional. This guy is a complete wizard at making glasses, out of junk wine bottles. By the time you invested in all of this high tech equipment, all you are gonna have is a bunch of wine bottle junk glasses. Do you have wind chimes made out of the bottle tops? Hell, if you had the corks, you could epoxy them, and super glue the bottle tops to them, stick a feather in them, and sell them as butt plugs. Please tell me that you do something more with this equipment. Grind the lenses for space telescopes, glasses, something?
All these tools can be used for any glass or lapidary coldworking. Nothing is limited to just grinding bottles. There are a lot of extremely successful businesses that only make drinking glasses and candles out of cut wine bottles with this equipment as well. I'm sorry that your inability to see a lucrative business is holding you back.
@@hisglassworksinc My guests don't give a F if I serve them a beverage in a BLAND PLAIN STRAIGHT SIDED $15.00+ hand converted wine bottle glass, or an ornate crystal emblematic $2.00 glass from Walmart or Target.
My guess is that you also believe in the fallacious concept of human caused climate change, and that jo bidet^ is an effective president, (or should that be presidork).
Great video great machines
Those Covington’s are so incredibly well made. Great video!
excellent work

Probably Amazon or eBay who knows now Habor Freight, Home Depot, Lowe's or even Walmart
I wouldn't rule out Hobby Lobby or Michael's.
Good technique and thorough instructional demonstration. I wish to recycle water glass bottles but I do not know where to buy the equipment in Lebanon , Middle East. I am impressed at how versatile glass can be used and reused.
We do ship worldwide and would be happy to give you a quote for the equipment. You can also start slowly by using loose grit silicon carbide on a piece of plate glass for grinding down the rims of the cut bottles.
Back in the 70s when I was a kid there was a kit available for cutting glass bottles to make glasses. It was a very popular thing for awhile. Damn, I am old
nice video, i learn it , and i can take it as a hobby, will try it for candles and to plant some mini cactus on pendant style.
This is so relaxing to watch and informative. ☺️☺️

Great!!
Where has this video been???? I knew there was a better method than heating/cooling the bottles to get them to crack. I’ve had very little success doing them that way so this gives me hope!
Glad it helped
great!
@hisglassworksinc After watching several different presentations on this subject, it seems that this method is more time consuming than using a glass cutter. Using the wet saw produces a very rough edge that needs a great deal of finish work with the grinders and polishers. Conversely, scoring the bottle and using hot/cold water (when done properly) takes a few minutes longer to execute the cut, but saves time when finishing the edge(s) due to a much cleaner cut. What do you think?
For small quantity numbers, yes. The hot-pop method is quite good. It's certainly more time consuming though so for large production it's not as feasible cost wise. The wet saw works much better for larger production runs.
Hi Mark, this is a really cool tutorial. Thank you. I curious as to why you would not wear tight fitting gloves for protection, in case the bottle breaks.
You certainly could and some people do. I find it hard to maintain a grip on the glass wearing gloves once the glass is wet. It interrupts my "feel" for the grinding when I wear any gloves. I've never had a cut bad enough to require medical attention, but I certainly have been cut many many times by glass while working.
Great to see a pro setup. I have done the same on a budget hobby setup - the inland swaptop has been ok for similar work. I just don't think it will last as long as yours!
What do you do with all the glass powder that is created? can you use it for anything? i wonder if you can cast it or fuse with it?
You can cast it. It will be full of bubbles and it actually floats almost like volcanic rock. Mostly we collect in a cascade system and dispose of it on a monthly basis. Be sure to wear a respirator when cleaning up the dried ground glass as it's basically silica dust which is quite dangerous to inhale.
I'd love to do this for hobby/craft work. I have a nice wet saw similar to the one in the video since I do a lot of my own tile work. However, what tools could I use for sanding and polishing that are less costly than that tabletop grinder/polisher? Are there pads for use with a handheld grinder or drill that would work well enough?
A lot depends on the number of pieces you're looking to make and if you're looking for making drinking glasses or candle holders. We do have the smaller Maxi-Lap grinder that is less than the larger 12-inch grinder. In a 10-inch size it works quite well for bottle cutting. You an also hand work rims with loose grit silicon carbide on a piece of plate glass for a very inexpensive solution. All can be found on our website www.hisglassworks.com
Definitely a how-to for the home hobbyist.
Not really. This is more for those who wish to make a business of making glasses or candle holders for large production.
Sorry, I was being sarcastic.
Yes. Still. some folks have asked the same thing oddly enough.
Wow I had no idea that the diamond blades won't cut our skin! I don't fear any saw but I am very cautious around it. I'm going to have to try this with a finger that I don't use that often! :-)
Shawn, don’t play with the saw blades. You can’t lose those moneymakers.
Hallo. If you take UV-glue, you can glue the top of the bottle to the bottom-part, then it will look like a wineglass. I did that when I did go at the glasschool in Sweden. (Orrefors)
+hisglassworksinc This is an AMAZING video and exactly what I was looking for. (Something exploring the more professional set-up instead of the DIY home style.) I don't have any of this equipment nor do I think that I would be able to immediately afford it. Are there places or studios that rent out their time and equipment for others to use? If so, do you recommend this? And, if so, how would I best find these places (there are a few glassblowing studios near me) and what should I look out for? (Sorry for playing 20 Questions with you there.) Anyway, great video and thanks.
I've paid to have some bottles made into glasses for me; I'd sure love to be able to do this myself - just not sure if I could every justify having those expensive tools for this. Excellent video, though, thank you!
You can use loose grit silicon carbide on a piece of plate glass to grind down rims for small scale use. We have a video here th-cam.com/video/zTDUpXGkC0g/w-d-xo.html
what type of polish you use ?
How long do the discs last?
Really want one of these for my business but i'm in London. Do you have any distribution in the UK?
nice thank you
Awesome video! At what rpm is the wet saw working, and do you think this could be replicated on a chop saw with a diamond blade?
The blade RPM is around 3400RPM. Moving slower would decrease chipping on the glass further. With a larger blade, the surface foot per minute on the rim of the blade would be much faster and cause more edge chipping even with a fine grit blade so you would want to try and slow down a larger saw's RPM at the shaft to provide a cleaner cut.
@@hisglassworksinc Thank you!
A blow torch will round the edges much better and faster. Taking the labels off first, makes this much easier.
If you torch the rims, you'll also want to re-anneal the pieces as you'll introduce a tremendous amount of stress into the rim by torching it. That will increase the risk of the rim shattering on someone if there is a large temperature shift in the glass.
Hi, just stumbled in, normally enjoying woodworking videos. Question: how about a final melting of the edge with a flame to ensure that there are no risky parts for the lips?
You can do that, yes. But, you'll have to re-anneal the entire piece to remove the excess strain created so the glass won't shatter when exposed to extreme temperatures.
One way could be to get some vermiculite and put it in a crockpot. Crank the heat all the way up. When it’s hot, flame your glass and immediately submerge it in the vermiculite. Cover and turn the power off to the crockpot. Let it cool completely before checking on it. I’ve had much success with this method, but not 100%.
Or buy a kiln.
Awesome thanks for the ideas. Is that a tile saw you used to cut the bottle?
+Charlie Loventhal It is. Most wet tile saws will work well for cutting glass, but you'll want to use a glass specific blade to avoid excess chipping created by using tile diamond blades. It's important to make sure your saw provides enough water to the blade for glass as well. You can see information here:
www.hisglassworks.com/learn/saw-blades/water-usage-with-glass-specific-diamond-blades/
Thank you, sir.
You are very welcome
This is extremely useful nice and understanding explanations with many details how to make a 1$ glass from 0,25$ bottle using 25000$ diamond tools. I have a question if we need for every glass we make from a quarter dollar bottle half an hour and 25000$ tools which need another 4000$ expendable grinding plates grinding domes pads and pastes monthly how many millions of bottles we need to make in glasses to cover expenses and start making profit. I need urgent answer because I already started buying the tools.
+morgana3433 We have several hundred customers around the world now making these drinking glasses and doing quite well. Some customers already have contracts with larger firms like Crate and Barrel and many have contracts with hotels and restaurants. It's a profitable business for many folks. We, of course, only provide the tools, not the business acumen.
+morgana3433 that is exactly what I thought the whole time...got here from a video, where a guy took some ballbearings, wood and t-squares and did cut wonderfull glasses.
+hisglassworksinc I have a small but growing business making many different products and pieces of art out of recycled glass. Personally I can't wait until I can afford one of those Covington grinders.
This is a fantastic process. Can you provide a list of all accessories used in this video? I'm looking on your website and I'm not 100% sure what each accessory is called.
Dan Wilson Dan, you can find a kit of all these materials listed here: www.hisglassworks.com/shop/kits/bottle-cutting-and-grinding-kit.html
good video, but where is the finished product?
Reusing the bottle is much cheaper, but this is very educational.
This is a very expensive drinking glass if including cost of those
cutting, grinding blade and machines.
This process is more about larger scale production. The higher the production, the lower the cost.
Hello, thank for your vidéo, tell me where i CAN buy this dôme stone for the interior of the bottle ?
Domes are available on our website here: www.hisglassworks.com/shop/cones-and-domes.html
hisglassworksinc hi, thank you for the video. Follow up question, what grit was the resin dome and cone that you used in the video? Do you recommend using only one grit or various to smooth it out?
Love you style of cutting it is a great work and is professional to me and men, What is the cost price of the machine?
Our wet saws are listed here:
www.hisglassworks.com/shop/machinery/wet-saws.html
and our flat lap grinders are listed here:
www.hisglassworks.com/shop/machinery/flat-grinders/small-grinders.html
Where can I buy this machine
Not something one could just 'take up 'for a hobby as a lot of expensive equipment needed. Never the less interesting.
It can be started small with hand-lapping with loose grit abrasive or with smaller lap grinders, but this is for larger scale production.
hey there, i was wondering what the rpm of this machine is!? thank you for answering in advance, Benni
This 12 inch Covington grinder is a variable speed that runs from 200 to 1,100 RPM. We generally run it around 900 RPM
Best part is drinking the wine just to get an empty bottle!
but I have to subscribed to your TH-cam it grate work you doing
@7:00 Can you drill a hole in a plywood large enough to take the bottle plus some slack , then mount the wood over the rotating grind disk. Mount it such that the bottle sits on the grinding plate and can rotate inside the wooden hole with out any pressure from a hand , gently allowing the bottle to grind the cut edge.
This is typically done with larger, heavier pieces to grind them, so the process would be similar. Not sure why you would bother with something so small and light though
How much will it cost? Including shipping... Will the accesories be available in India? What is the size of the equipment? I normally cut glass as a hobby and am not doing it professionally. It looks great stuff...
meanwhile, u can get a glass at Walmart for a dollar, all before this video ends....just kidding, good video!
Oh yeah, this is the most expensive glass I ´ve seen ever. Thousands of dollars in equipment for it. LOL.
EXECELENT
Can I use these methods for cutting a Bombay sapphire bottle? That is a square bottle and thicker than wine bottles.
Yes, but you may want to use a medium cut blade for a thicker piece of glass. Something like a Result blade:
www.hisglassworks.com/shop/blades/medium-cut-blades/result-blades.html
Any tips...for not chipping the bottle at the end....? I know you said you thought that it was the label or paper..but i have found that right at the end......it always wants to hang up then chip....ive tried going super super super slow.....till sometimes chips........im thinking its because it is cutting out of the bottle...instead of thru it.....Ive thought of stopping then flipping over and finish but then i never get it exactly straight..
Several things to try. If the blade is too rough or hasn't been dressed recently, it may pop out a chunk of the bottle at the end. If you are pushing too hard into the blade and not letting the blade dictate the speed, then the stress in the bottle is released near the end and causes a blowout. If you slow down too much at the end, you can build up heat in the bottle from the blade staying in one place too long and the strain pops the bottle there. You need to go slow and steady as you cut letting the blade dictate the speed. Don't put too much pressure on it. Don't stop near the end of the bottle but continue on through to the back of the blade and then bring the bottle back towards you after the blade has cut through. Don't stop at the end but continue on through the cut.
will a 7” wet tile saw work for cutting wine bottles?
+Treyads It can, but you won't be able to cut all the way through the bottle and would instead have to rotate the bottle through the blade.
+Treyads Yes, but to compensate for the lower quality saw you should use the best quality blade you can find. The guys that make this video have one that is great. (I don't get any benefit from saying so) I bought a few different blades before giving in and stepping up to better quality. The main issue is lesser quality blades will leave more chips in the rim. Better blade means less chips, which means less grinding. I can't wait until I can afford a better saw. I like the one he is using, but I also have my eye on a ring saw. Another thing about saws is the clearance, which will dictate how large a bottle you can cut.
I use a 10", you get one from Chicago Tool. harbor freight.
where do you buy such a machine.??
Can you use the dome without the water feature in the center? I have access to one without the water in the center. Can you use full speed or does sanding wine bottles and such require a slower speed offered by the varible speed unit.
Of course. You'll just have to get water to the dome some other way (either with the external water line or a sponge with water by hand). The domes are diamond so they like to go fast. If you have a lot of grabbing or squealing from the bottle, you may need to slow it down though.
@@hisglassworksinc great thanks for the info. Great video awesome detail!

Not easily. You can bond them together with something like HXTAL:
www.hisglassworks.com/shop/adhesives/epoxies/hxtal-nyl-1.html
Is there another way of sanding/polishing, without that exact machine. Is there something else you could use? I would love making some glasses for myself and for gifts, but I have a limited budget (and limited space)... Thanks a lot for advice! 😊
A vice and a hand sander. Clamp the bottle in and sand till smooth, then use sandpaper for the inside and outside edges. It won't be as perfectly smooth as this, but perfectly fine for a drinking glass.
Hand lapping with loose grit silicon carbide is inexpensive and easy to do:
www.hisglassworks.com/loose-grit/silicon-carbide/1-pound.html
You got a chip at the end because you need to slow wayyy down at the very end of any cut or it will fracture unevenly like that.
Do you or anyone else have ideas for the top pieces (cut offs). I'm going to be making candles, glasses for many years, and it would nice to use those instead of tossing them. thanks!
We have people make wind chimes from them and use them as luminaries by sandblasting or acid etching them and putting them over candles.
hisglassworksinc Hi, very good informational video. But I have an important question to ask. What is the success rate of cutting wine/champaign bottles with a grinder or glass diamond blade like you use? I want to buy one only for cutting bottles but want to know first what the success rate is. Thanks!
Tattoostijl Once you get the technique down and pay attention to when the blade needs dressing, you can virtually have 100% success rate with cutting bottles. A lot depends on learning how glass specific blades operate and making sure they stay dressed as you use them
His Glassworks, Inc. To add on to the above question. How much does the brand of saw matter? I have tried a couple different 10" saws that I have seen people use in their youtube videos and I cannot seem to get it to cut without cracking or chipping the bottle, even going extremely slow with the same glassblades. Any tips for that?
E Squared Glass You may need to look at water usage on the blades. With glass specific blades, they are a finer grit diamond so they will require more water at the contact point of the blade and the glass to avoid excess heat buildup. You can see a video on this here:
www.hisglassworks.com/learn/saw-blades/water-usage-with-glass-specific-diamond-blades/
+Tattoostijl The success rate is dependant on your skill as well as the tools and method. I have tried many different techniques for cutting bottles and using a tile saw is by far and away the most consistent with the least waste. I use a cheap 7" tile saw, but I invested in their best blade and I am happy with the result. However, I am still looking forward to the day I can afford a nicer saw like the one shown. I went from breaking more than I was making to 99%. If I break something these days, usually it is usually my fault.

I'm cutting my bottles lengthwise and would like to know what to use to grind the surface after the cut. I am aiming for a bit of production on this but am not ready to purchase a grinding wheel. Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you
The least expensive way to start out grinding pieces flat from a saw cut is to use loose grit silicon carbide on a piece of plate glass and hand lap the pieces. Quick, efficient, and inexpensive:
www.hisglassworks.com/shop/loose-grit/silicon-carbide.html
Very helpful. I watched that video as well. I have two more questions remaining. What should be my starting grit, mid grit and last grit for a bottle to be fairly soft to the touch (not to drink from).
Also, How much should I get? Would you also recommend I get the diamond sanding pads also?
thank you
I would start with a 120 grit from the saw cut, then use a 400 or 600 grit to finish off the rim. It will still be a bit hazy, but it would be a soft texture on the glass.
I would only get the handipads if you were looking to make a bevel on the rim. If they aren't being used for drinking glasses, then there is very little reason to bother with a beveled rim.
Thank you very much for the help. wish me luck!

I have a Crystal Master Pro 12 lap grinder. I would like to purchase your smoothing dome and cone. Will they fit my equipment . I also would like the cerium powder. What about the center plug. Will that fit my grinder and is that what I need to use the cone and dome. Thank you for any help you can give me.
The CrystalMaster Pro is a direct drive motor system so the shaft on the grinder is not large enough to have a threaded mount on it. We can't connect a cone or dome to the center portion of the CrystalMaster Pro.
What blade are you using ? A Husqvarna Superlok Glass like you recommanted on your webside ?
That is correct
Thanks for the video , I just want to know where can I buy the cutting glass machine.
All equipment is available on our website at www.hisglassworks.com
what is the smallest saw you can use
You can use smaller blades like a 7 inch blade but you'll have to roll the bottle through the blade instead of cutting all the way through the bottle.
Hello, can you tell me what type of disc you use for cutting, I bought one but it doesn't leave the cut clean, thank you
We recommend the Superlok Glass+ blade for bottle cutting: www.hisglassworks.com/grinding-tools/blades/fine-cut-blades/husqvarna-superlok-glass.html
I don't see sales on eBay for things like this. Low demand...?
We don't have an Ebay store and used equipment is few and far between because people don't tend to get rid of these pieces of equipment very often. We'll see about one or two used grinders for sale a year at most.

Is there a chance to get a dome for grinding and polishing? (Europe)
Our domes are are listed here: www.hisglassworks.com/grinding-tools/cones-and-domes/domes.html
Thank you! What techniques do you use to remove the labels? You make it seem so simple when you say "once you take the labels off, it'll be nice and clear"... but in my experience, removing the labels is usually more difficult than cutting and polishing them!
Soak the bottles in water and dishwashing detergent overnight and the labels will typically slide off
I do a LOT of wine bottle tiki torches and remove labels by soaking in water for a bit then I use a grinder with a wire wheel to remove the labels FAST. Takes about 45 seconds if that....well over 200+ bottles and found it's the easiest way, then I use goo off to remove sticky glue, wash with soap/water and good as new.
I use Dawn to soak them. Most of the time, the label comes right off. Some need a second soaking.
