    After 10 videos, I ended up using a metal file, going around the bottle where I wanted to cut it until it was as good as I could get it. Then while the water was heating up to boil, I got bored. Got my blowtorch. Went around the filed part a couple times, then put it into water, and it worked!
    The acetone and string method is the closest to what I just did, and it seems MUCH more simple! Going to use that from now on!
    Got a nice whiskey glass made out of a Jameson bottle. The next one I make I'm doing the acetone string method and making it larger, more for regular drinking stuff, not a small whiskey glass.

    Wow. I almost killed myself doing this (method #1)
    First of all, I made an incredibly stupid rookie mistake. I left the cork in the bottle I was cutting. Secondly acetone is more flammable that I thought it was, I mean this shit is like gasoline.
    I did this in my kitchen sink. When I lit the string on fire is was an out-of-control flame and I dropped the bottle in the sink. The gases from the acetone collected in the sink and did a huge flare up, burned my hand pretty bad.
    When I put the bottle in the bucket of water (remember I had left to cork in) the quick drop in pressure and temperature exploded the bottle 3 feet from my face. Every piece of glass missed me.
    I'm lucky I'm not fucking dead.
    So here's tip for you newbies (newbies like me), be fucking careful, do this shit outside, and wear protective equipment on your eyes and hands. The dude in the video is a pro whose done this a hundred times or more. And NEVER leave the fucking lid on. I can't believe I did that.
    Good video, good tutorial, just be careful if you've never done this before.

      Yes, leaving a cork inside is not a good idea.
      I will add an annotation, telling people to make sure they take off the lid/cork.

    So I have the bottle , got the string , the acetone and away I go . Looks really simple to do . After setting fire to the string the sink then caught fire where I'd poured the acetone over the string and the whole bottle was in flames and so was my hand .In panic I ran yelling " the house is on fire" to my bemused boyfriend who casually turned the tap on .After putting more thought into what I was doing and 3 more tries this did actually work . Safety first !

    I tried the first method and it resulted in the breaks not being where I intended. Scoring and using 2 candles to maximise heat and getting it v hot then cooling in water caused the cracks to appear in the right place. Thanks for the video!

    So i wanted to make some cool diy's with this glass bottle. So I found this video at last and I was amazed of how easy the string method was. Next I took a string, vine bottle and and pure alchocol instead of acetone. Next when I put the string on fire it went well. Next I dropped the bottle to a basin of water but it did not brake. I tried it again but suddenly the whole bottle caught on fire and we all screamed for the sake of our lives. The videos good. The moral lesson of this tutorial is think twice before you leap as nd also safety first.↕

  • @Hermboldt
    @Hermboldt 8 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    method one is very simple. make sure the inside of the glass is dry or you will have difficulties as the water inside the glass will absorb heat and the glass will not break cleanly if at all. Just be patient and make sure the glass is dry and you will have no problems :) i've done method one dozens of times. Most of the glasses in my cabinets are reused glass bottles :)

    WOW! Candle and ice. First time perfect cut. Took two heating's far enough away to avoid carbon buildup. When I went to dry the bottle off after the second icing, my beer bottle fell apart. Spent about 10 min with sand paper to break the edges on both top and bottom.

    I must say, I am surprised about these methods- they are so passive!
    No aggressive tactics. Just the steady application of heat then sudden immersion into cold, using the natural tendencies of the glass against itself.
    That's what I call human ingenuity!
    I smoke marijuana concentrates with a glass water pipe or bong.
    Lots of resin has accumulated in my bong, but there is no way to get it out.
    I have decided to cut the top part of my bong off, harvest the resin, and reattach the top part so I can use the bong. I only plan to do this one time, because after this month I will not run concentrates.
    Anyway, your video was extremely helpful and I am SO GLAD you made it and shared it!
    I was going to tap-tap-tap on the glass with a tiny chisel and a tiny hammer.
    Now I see the error of my ways!!!
    Is there any particular reason why acetone must be used?
    Can any other flammable household chemical be used instead of acetone?
    If anyone could answer these questions, I would appreciate it!
    Take care of yourselves, thanks in advance.

I need them for my Miniature project, but I cannot find any tools that are small enough and safe for this purpose.

    Wear protective goggles, gloves..and file the edge of the glass with a heavy duty sandpaper.

    using a glass or bottle cutter seems the best way to go. I would make a base to heat or cool the bottle. To avoid cutting myself, when the bottle splits in half and falls.

    Very useful tips! Thank you! I just got me a bottle cutter. The instruction said I should soak the scores with hot water and cold water. Didn't work. I saw your video and tried number 3. It worked!
    However, my bottle did not separate as smooth as yours and didn't follow the line I scored with my cutter. Any idea why?

    Please be very careful if you're doing this. I'm not sure of the details but a young lady has suffered 3rd degree burns when trying to cut glass whilst following an online tutorial. See the description for safety precautions if you do attempt it. But never play with fire! Please stay safe

      Depends on the thickness of the glass and method used. Typical 1.5 litre wine bottle for instance is about 5mm- 1cm thick. Its not too bad if the person knows how to do it.

    Dip in boiling water, then ice water, and so on until it breaks; much easier.

      its the technique, the tape roll, roll the bottle not the cutter, the candle, the ice. Rather then take the glass cutter to the bottle while its in your lap and try and score a straight line. I love sarcasm, but this dude is pretty clever. Foreign, but clever, probly one of them sneaky ass Russians. Or maybe hes one of them al quieda's. Wonder what hes putting in them bottles, bettcha he knows how to seal em back up too, but he aint tellin that part. HHmmmmm secrets, I don't like secrets. Sure does know a lot about acetone too. That cant be good. Your right, maybe somebody outta take a look at this guy. Good call.

    after cutting the glass bottle then use a fine fine sandpaper on the cutting edge glass...
    that help smooth edge and not sharp cut on the skin
