- How to Clean Antique Bottles! Before and After..... Advanced tumbler setup from Jar Doctor!
This week I show my new technique for cleaning antique bottles. This is probably the worse part about digging bottles or bottle hunting haha! It can be super tough to get the bottles to look how you want and this is the best way that I have found!

I have been tumbling for years. Great video but never use 600 cutting compound on bottles with embossing or when it comes out there will be no embossing left.
I'll have to bite the bullet too! As soon as I quit biting other bullets, lol! Coin microscopes, Luftwaffe helmets, Gettysburg relics, Display cases, bottles......
I just learned something new. Never seen anything like that tumbler. I'm amazed. Thank you
It’s pretty cool for sure!
On the double tumbler have you tried putting a third tube on top of the bottom two to see if it will tumble also. if it will turn ok you might have to make some kind of guide to keep it centered on the two bottom tubes. You may have to put tubes the same size on the bottom. Just threw it out to see if it will stick. not seeing the tumbler in person, it may not be possible. I like your videos I love old bottles.
I have A LOT of antique bottles to clean. My neighbor works on demolition, cleanup, and construction sites in Boston, and he keeps finding and giving me these beautiful antique bottles. Most of them were salvaged from 100+ year-old commercial buildings in Boston. I have everything from those little 1800's-era medicine bottles-some with ground-glass stoppers-beer and soda sizes, to big ones for wine, fruit, etc. Many are very dirty from being buried for ages. I started swishing their insides with a clean sandy slurry (by hand), but my arms got tired real quick.
ANYWAYS…your bottles are coming out beautifully. I checked out Jar Doctor's website, and those seem like great products. It's an excellent concept, and I wager I couldn't build something cheaper. Thanks for sharing!
Thought about building something like that several years ago, got the 'can" part down , trouble with the pullys and motor set up sold it to a guy to clean bullet brass...worked OK.
I bought the Jar Doctor tumbler over 10 years ago and it is the best thing out there for bottle polishing in my opinion and worth the price. I dug old bottles for over 30 years and am still cleaning them. Much fun
Wow! That seemed pricey until you break down the unit to its parts and price them out...a decent 120 volt motor can, by itself, be expensive...then add in all the other smaller item...adds up fast! So I guess in the final analysis...probably about right if you tried to piece it out and build one yourself. Great video Brandon! 👍👍
For sure Jim!
I am glad I am not the only one that works in the bathroom. Quietest place in my house with the kids running around like Indians. lol
I know the "Jar Doctor " ,You can find him at most big bottle shows .I'm from Indiana where he once lived . Dave will teach you what you need to know , nice guy all around . I bought my parts from him but made my tumbler. If you don't like the cost , try making them & see how that turns out ,ha. He sells good material . I can turn 5 bottles I will add this , the tube or canister for the bottle shown in this video when ready to turn will weigh over 25 lbs . so I tumble a lot of weight . Awesome video
Been wanting a jar doctor unit for a long time. That’s a lot of money tho. Thanks for explaining the process, it helps to have a better understanding of exactly how everything works.
I'm thinking of building my own 👍
I've seen my Mates here in Oz use different types of wet & dry sand paper to remove some scratches. It's worked really well to & hasn't effected the bottle at all but the opposite. Love your videos & the excitement in your voice when you score a good bottle.
Hi Mate, l find your videos very interesting & fun to watch. I've thought of walking the creeks around here but we have salt water crocs living in them so l have to give that a miss. I have seen one of my Mates when he was tumbling bottles he used wet & dry sandpaper to remove scratches etc before tumbling them.
Impressive. Worth every penny.
great info. Thank you for the detailed demo. I am always the entrepreneur, JMO, so take this for what it is worth. . If you can do 2 - 3 bottles, maybe be a source for other collectors that can't afford such a set-up. Do bottle cleaning as a side hustle. Make this expensive device help pay for itself by offering it for the new collectors.
That crossed my mind too
Brilliant results x
Now you can do a small bottle tumbling service on the side.
Awesome, Think I'm gonna try to make one myself.
Very informative interesting & kinda satisfying
Kick 🦵 ass set up & worth every penny to me
Made in America 🇺🇸 too so that’s cool
Good Hunting
Watch out for Florida Man !
I bought a large frame tumbler from the Jar Doctor a couple years ago. Definitely worth the investment.
Big investment but I know it's gonna pay off big too. That thing is awesome. Congrats! 👍
If you are very clever with building tools, you might enjoy snd make a unit cheaper. But I bet not too much cheaper. Sometimes it is worth it to go ahead and purchase the unit that is ready made. Thx for video.
That is true
Thank you for the information on the bottle tumbling equipment and how it is done ! I really enjoyed it ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you maybe doing next ! Doing okay here in Kansas just trying to stay warm .
Nice! After seeing the full tumbler, I actually thought it would cost more than it did! Amazing that it runs from 24-48 hours or more an a single bottle. Cleaning bottles is definitely a labor of love and the end result is totally worth it
Awesome job as always. I really enjoy that you take the time to explain. Just want to give you a big THANK YOU for saving as much history as you do.
Hey Brandon if you put muriatic acid in those hutch bottles that you can’t get the stopper out of it will eat it away so you can get it out
I found that the best final polish for your bottles is the CPP aluminum oxide polish from Johnson Brothers Lapidary in California. It beats Jar Doctors polish hands down. It leaves no black foam to deal with and the bottles come out sparkling like a diamond with no need to do a final wash and try to scrub off residue. It costs the same @ $8.50 per pound. Not dissing Jar Doctor, just offering an alternative polishing media.
Since I’m developing my own tumbler line I’m also researching new medias. Have you ever tried the plastic pellets vs the copper?
I tried using plastic pellets as a filler to use less copper but there is no alternative to adequate copper coverage on your bottles. They came out with black residue especially around the necks. I tried different percentages but went back to straight copper.
Johnson Bro.s is a trustworthy company.
Great video!! I have always enjoyed this part of the hobby. Cleaning and brining the bottles back to life is really rewarding. I have found after the bottle has tumbled soaking a day or two in bucket of really good car wash and water puts the finishing touches on it.
I think you made a very wise investment. For instance, just say that you get $50 more for a real good bottle, by using it. You do that 20 times it's paid for it's self. All the profit you make after that is pure profit. Plus all of the lower priced bottles that you improve the value on. I bet it pays for it's self in a year.👍
Love the shine but still showing the age look. That is how I do my tool restorations or as a call them rustorations.
Love it!
Needty make myself one of these👊 got some torpedo bottles blob tops that are really cloudy
Hi Brandon it looks like a great machine the results are very nice the bottles definitely need to be valuable to justify the expense. Maybe you could do other peoples bottles for a price to help pay for it?
It has crossed my mind. It wouldn’t be cheap for people with shipping charges sadly.
Great results, but the doc sure is proud of it
Nice vid. The price is very fair! It's a custom unit and looks very well made. That machine should last a long time.
That’s crazy cool, cleans those bottles right up.
Enjoyed the video. It sure did clean them good. Have fun at Florida Hunt 7. Hope you find some fabulous historical treasures!
Beautiful ! 🙌🙌
Could watch this all day
Don’t go lower than 800 grit or you risk losing the embossing. I run mine for 4 days with 1200 grit and that will remove all but deep scratches. Then run for 3 or 4 days with the Johnson Brothers CPP aluminum oxide polish and you will love the results
Cool tumbler 👍😎🍻
Yep, really impressed. Those are some cool bottles. On the 2 bottles that you called hutch bottles I always called them medicine bottles LOL but o had no idea about that cool stopper. I thought they used a cork, silly me what do I know about bottles except that I live old bottles. Thanks JD ♥️👍👍😊
That tumbler does an awesome job of cleaning!
I was thinking here we go again another bottle cleaning tumbling video among so many but you surprised me Good job !
Thanks Terry. I wanted to show y’all a little more in depth.
Looks good 💥👍
That looks awsome I can see why you saved up for that seems to me a safer way to clean too
Have you ever tried using false teeth cleaner? I’m an old man now, but I used to use it to clean the water/mineral stains from “V” vases at my Estate sales. Cleaner and chain.
Very interesting video
Always wondered how you cleaned them and now I know - Thank you !
$!00.00 seems a bit high for a tube. Wonder if you could find a section of the proper size (or close to it) PVC pipe at a home store, to use?
In any event, thanks for the education.
I have some PVC tubes but you need them to be very round or the stopper won't fit well and the weight will not slide of tumble even . The ones the Jar Doctor sells are a bit clear so you can see the action . Your better off buying good stuff ,I learned the hard way . ha
You might be better off looking for Polycarbonate tubing, it should be cheaper, and it's clear! 👍
Love watching these type of videos, thanks for sharing
That is awesome!!!
Bottles look great.
I've been looking to make a scaled down version of one of these, for all the tiny poison and perfume bottles I find. They're sometimes too fragile to clean by hand.
Also, you can reuse the compound water at least 2 times, when sieving your copper, tip the compound water into a jug. It'll save you a little money.
Keep on digging, friend! 👍
If they’re too fragile to clean by hand, this machine will demolish them
@@BlockchainToTheFace Well, not so much fragile, but more fiddly, it's sometimes impossible to find a brush to fit. I have been having good results using weak magnets with sponge glued to them, it works a bit like a fishtank glass cleaner.
I'd use a very small motor on a miniature bottle tumbler, with rubber washers between every screw point. Ideally a 12v DC motor tuned down to about 35rpm. 👍
Have you thought of an ultrasonic cleaner? It may do the trick
That tumbler is amazing...but wow, what a price! Still...its worth it if you work with a lot of bottles!💖
I think you could probably save a bit building your own setup minus the canister.
Use a washer or dryer motor. Meant to run lor a long time. Find a canister substitue. Couple of gaskets. Easy build.
I've been hoping that you would do a bottle cleaning video , I have a few dirty bottles that I've been wanting to get clean but didn't know how and I don't want to destroy my bottles. Best regards as always from Lloyd.
This is really cool! Thanks for showing us that awesome tumbler!
I can't believe your wife let's you do that in the bathroom of the house! LOL!!!! I would much rather have you make a place in a shed or garage or something. LOL!!!! I give your wife big props for letting you do this inside. 💙👏💙 Great informative video none the less.
once the stopper has been in the water for a while it is a bit easier to pull it out of the hutch. I am still considering pulling the stoppers out of all of my hutches for cleaner display. Great video.
I have had some actually swell and become larger hahahaha
@@adventurearchaeology you could probably dissolve the stopper with acid
Great tutorial Brandon 👍
Very cool tumbler. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.
I enjoyed the video .I'd like to add , people may think you are using cooper BBs as media .That will not work . Buy the right stuff like you did . It last for years .
Come to Montevallo.
Thanks for sharing , have a great day . .....Sherry
cool tumbler :)
NICE! I love Coca-Cola. I collect them and i have never seen that kind of Coce bottle 🍾😄🙂👍👌👌
Good luck at the hunt buddy. I know a couple guys going.
Just watched ,watch your step side step, with you detecting,. and thought i would come and visit your channel
Very nice! I made a rock tumbler out of a printer 😂 it works well for cleaning coins.
Thank you for $ info. It is worth it with what you find.
Just subbed from Wild Kyle! Looking forward to your content!
Welcome aboard!
I like it
I bought a rock polishing setup I wonder if I could convert it to cleaning bottles at work we have a ceramic medium that we use to polish copper with wonder if it would be too aggressive on glass
Very informative , enjoyed . God bless .
great learning video Brandon 💥👍
Wao. Super cool!!!
Try a strong magnets to pull that out
Very helpful thanks for sharing always great videos !
My pleasure!
Amazing!!!That would definitely be something that I would buy.
It’s pretty cool for sure!
Does it do square and odd shaped bottles? Could you make a tube from sch 40 or sch 80 pvc?
Yes, the 4 prong or 4 finger stopper shown in his video is for square or rectangular . He should be using a 3 finger for round .It's cheaper to do what he's doing ( one size fits all ) but it's not right . Hope this helps .
AHHHMAZING
Hey, thanks for the tumbling video. I was wondering also how you cut off the tops to make drinking glasses. Or is that maybe your trade secret? 😉
I wonder if you can purchase copper BB’s as a media? I believe I could make one of those tumblers pretty easy. Just need some info off the motor like HP and RPM. Then what size the pulley is on the motor and on the roller.
The roundness actually prevents cleaning in tight reach corners in the embossing and in patterns in deco style bottles.
Hi Brandon, I was impressed with the results of the bottle cleaning but it does seem just a bit over priced, in my opinion. Cheers, Paige C.
Maybe use a cheap bottle first to see if it would possibly harm the bottle running it that long depending on how dirty the bottle is !
Do you not use soapy water first to remove the worse dirt ??
How do you clean the tumbling medium? Thx for the video!
Strainer and water haha!
What grit aluminum oxide polish do you use?
What polish compound did you use?
mechanics "hook tool" should be able to grab that stopper after being shaken to the opening.
Why the black tint on the first 2
Is that Raymore , Missouri for the address for Jar Doctor ? If so that's not far from me !
I wonder what would happen if there were some small cracks, not deep ones, but nicks and such...? Would it flake them off? Break the bottle?
It runs risk of spreading cracks or completely breaking the bottle.
don't even try it , it most likely will break. It will weigh about 25 lbs.
That is sooo cool
Do you know if Jar Dr is still in business today? I went to the website and it said business was up for sale. Site seemed to still be up and working. Great video even two years later! 👍👍👍
They are just very slow on shipping due to health issues.
@@adventurearchaeology thank you 👍👍👍
Can you use the copper again? And can you use copper BB s
I have used the Jar Doctor tumbler for many years. BB's are steel and will not clean your bottle and may ruin them. The copper can be used over and over for years. Just make sure it is rinsed clean with water. I use a garden hose with copper in a strainer.
you pay for what you get, go cheep, you get something that will fail in a short time.
pay the money, and have it for a very long time and able to handle bigger and multiple units.
I have a fanta from the late 40s, still full and sealed. Canada production, where do you find the value of this gem? Found it when we were demolishing an old legion hall.
Full bottles don't really add much money to their value, a 1940s machine made Fanta isn't really collectable.
Interesting. The bottles came out great. How bad's the motor noise?
It’s pretty loud. Really needs to be in a garage.
So what do you do if you can't afford a Jar Doctor, or if you're just getting started and aren't ready to make that kind of a purchase?
Well this is pretty scweet!
Thanks Bud!
