I just got done building one of these based on this video and it does in fact work. The line that everyone says is a score line is made by the bottle rubbing on the heating element. That said, I think you do get better results if you do score it. I still have some tweaking to do, but it does work like the video.
yep. i havent made one and i know what that line is... everytime ive scored, ive ended up with bad cuts. hardest part is the actual smooth continuation, and the golden rule of glass cutting is ONE pass. i prefer a single strand of nichrome and rely on the thermal shock as it heats rapidly.

Interesting to see creations like this. A lot of the older mechanics, machinists, carpenters, and blacksmiths I've met or watched almost always have a few homebrewed tools or contraptions for specific tasks. I work with glass sort, I just haul it as a trucker. Bulk sized huge sheets in packs, to be cut down by customers into doors, windows, or whatever else. Been hauling it for 7 years now.
Good design. Elegant and illustrates principles of alignment and jig construction. Well done!! If I build one of your units I would add a small ruler to the base, for more repeatable cuts.
no he is not, not even close to 100% but imagine what he could do if he were using it 100%..... very smart; rather simple now that you see it; hahah.. but me hade several complex tasks, . very gratifying,
OMG this is AMAZING!!! You should like start one of those monthly box things; or, just a one off box, doesn't have to be monthly subscription service; where all the pieces with instructions are sent and we get to put it together! THIS is one project I would totally want to build and would use constantly.
I think the “score line” people are seeing is the hot wire smearing onto the very hard glass. This glass-cutting trick is repeatable with a string soaked in fuel around a glass bottle, lit on fire, and then cracked with cold water. The thermal shock cracks the glass along the line of greatest tension, which is the very hot, thin outside line where the string burned or the coil rode.
I can see the score line made with a glass cutting scribe first. The bottle doesn't have one, then it appears : @9:07 and is NOT in the same parallel as the heating coil. The coil on it's own cannot give such a precise cut - at least be honest about it.

This is such a brilliant and practical idea I love how it turns ordinary glass bottles into something useful and creative Thank you for sharing this amazing project
I was not very good at crafts in school. Mainly because I've never had the patience for and the attention to detail as you show here. That's the difference, I'm sad to admit... :) I really like this!
Nice video. My stepfather used to cut glass bottles using a resistance wire and tapping the bottle, but there was always a little jag where the wires crossed on the glass bottle.
Gospodin, this is beautiful work. Every detail is well-conceived and beautifully executed. Best bottle cutter I have ever seen. S nailuchshimi pozhelaniyami.
Thank You for sharing your super invention! It works so well! I may have to try it myself but we’ll see. You should patent your design! Many Blessings and Thanks Again! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
why do people keep saying this is 'fake', and keep talking about a "score line"? the "score line" people keep mentioning is from the heating element. hot glass becomes malleable, and thus is able to be scratched by the metal element. It is breaking along the line that was heated, and then rapidly called. it's called thermal shock... There are plenty of other videos that explain this concept in other ways. for example; tying a string soaked in lighter fluid, then lighting it until it goes out, then dipping it in ice water will break exactly where the string is. did we score that before hand? no, we didn't... Thermodynamics at work! :3 great video! ^w^
That's nonsense. The hardness of the heating element is much lower than the glass hardness. And its also a spring. You cant scratch a steel beam with a sausage. You need tungsten carbide or a dimond cutter. Or may be 62 hrc steel.
@@DivineOwl idk why this is so hard for people to believe... 😅 the heating element is kanthal, and glass softens significantly when heated. yall sound silly being that confidently wrong. 😂
Yor explanation is extraordinary. Every part is meticulously explained to detail. Very well elaborated video. Thank you for your time and expertise. There is only one thing I would like to inform, and that was the way you cut the silica blocks. The dust that is formed it is very dangerous for the lungs and other health issues. The silica blocks should be wet before cut, and a mask and gloves are used. Jake, don't take as an offence. I am an inspector of quality and should pass that information to you and those who intend to do your project, which is very good. God bless you and your family.
Hi . Beautiful design working . Good job and good idea . It's very easy to doing this perfect preparing same your's project . Good luck with best wishes . I would like from which country you are . I am from Lebanon .👏👏👏
Lololololololol it's like making a 2hr project to pour cereal.. just scribe and use a hot rod of glass or metal and it thermally cuts itself. Ive been glassblowing for a decade this vid is hilarious
@@mikayla_collie we get it too, youre obviously a furry from your pfp and naturally toxic... you hate yourself so you spread garbage online thinking it makes you special when you provide nothing.
I made one of these in high school back in the 70's, but never knew about the water/shock step....which is why it would take forever to melt through the bottle....and the nichrome wire would often melt due to the lack of a proper regulator.
Don’t cut silica blocks like this!! “Exposure to silica dust can lead to the development of lung cancer, silicosis (an irreversible scarring and stiffening of the lungs), kidney disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.”
I mean if you take the proper precautions to prep yourself and the area to prevent dust getting in your lungs and also clean the area thoroughly after the fact i dont see the problem.
I wish I was good with electrics as I’d love to make one of these as Iv tried to cut bottle for craft projects with no successes ..brill well done …you should make them to sell
you can do the same by a simple torch like gas one. the trick is you have already used glass cutter to put a like on it. also you can freez it and drop some boiling water
до того как бутылка треснула видна круговая царапина в месте разлома и рядом тоже , уверен метод возможно работает но сначала и это важно бутылка пыла прорезана стеклорезом
that's from the heating element. notice how it appears only after it's been heated and rotated multiple times. glass becomes more malleable at higher temps, thus is able to be scratched by metal (the heating element). I would suggest taking a step back and thinking for a bit before saying things so definitely. Whenever I see something that I don't understand, rather than assuming the other person is wrong, I first think of how I might be wrong, and use rational thinking to decipher my thoughts validity.
I am usually unlucky when trying to use heat to cut glass. You seem to have made a jig to repeatably provide just the right amount of heat in the right place. The only thing that I did not hear mentioned is that your exposed heating coil is an electrical shock hazard in the same way the element is in a pop-up toaster though easier to touch and you should be careful and probably add warning labels to this effect so anyone else using it without you nearby will not be caught unawares. Otherwise I would say your electrical work was well done. An inline fuse would have been the only real upgrade I could suggest there.
My first thought: OMG I need this!
My second thought: Wait, why am I cutting bottles again? :)
Couldn't hurt to purchase all of the parts anyway, just in case. 😅
Because you drank all the wine?

Tried that, really not reliable.

Absolutely fantastic but while simple in principle, not that simple to construct with this much quality. Good workmanship
Why would you need to cut a glass bottle for?

Cut a fancy beer bottle, do some finishing on the rim, and you have a beer glass.

Go take a loose coil of wire and see what kinda straight lines you can scribe into glass with it at any temperature.

You say that it is simple, but it takes skill and knowledge to build quality.
It looks simple and easy to me. You must be slow.
Wait, the coil is directly connected to AC cables and with no ground? Or did I miss something? Wouldn't that trigger the breakers?
It is a very much valuable technical idea I will be thankful to him for this process.
