Very good, but you should take care to wet the glass and the paper when you're sanding it. When sanded dry, the siliceous particles can go into your lungs and there's no way to get them out so be careful
@@rivahkillah Wet sanding >>> wearing a mask You can additionally wear a mask to be absolutely safe, sure, but doing it wet is the important part. People who work with glass everyday don't use masks, they simply do it wet. Because Silicosis is no fun disease at all.
Wow! You my friend are OUTSTANDING! I just went through umpteen hundred (exaggerated) videos of how to cut a bottle. All of those videos were long and boring, leaving me to set it all down. Then I see your video!!?? Brilliant!
Years ago there was a tool called The Bottle Chopper. It was in the 70's. I think we bought one for Dad, the kind of present you bought when you'd got fed up buying socks. Made of flat steel one part scribed the line whilst the other fitted inside the bottle where you tapped at the line until it parted. There was also some sheets of wet & dry so you could smooth the cut edges. It might've won a design centre award. The award for the quickest placement at the back of the cupboard from where it never came out again.
Cool trick, out of all the TH-cam video's I've watched on bottle cutting, I think this one gave best results. All the ones that doesn't use a glass cutter comes out pretty shiny.
That was amazing, that was just was the easiest I've watched so far, and I've watched dozens, will be using your method and no expensive tools required thumbs up for you tks👍
Awesome - thanks for the video, this is just what I need. I have a round whiskey bottle that I think will be funny to convert into an oversized whiskey glass! Also, like others have said - I really appreciate the no-nonsense approach to an informational video. No over the top anything, nothing extra that isn't needed. Just info and demonstration.
Just a suggestion. What if you clamp the cutter to the board to get a close enough precise cut. But thank you for the video! Helped a lot! Just got my glass cutting set and can’t wait to use it.
That. Is. Neat! Came here to find a more elegant solution than using plastic bottles to water my plants. Now going to get on making these to add to my terracotta drip stakes.
In the 60s my Dad used a steel rod, sharpened point, with a 90" bend to slide down inside the bottle and tap the etch to start the crack in the glass. He would continue to rotate the bottle tapping the etch from the inside and you could see the fracture crawl around the bottle. Even a single small crack would speed up the process of using hot water to get it started.
I love tutorial edited this way. No music, no nonsens. Amazing. Couple questions: - The tape can be of any width, right? - What's the best way to reattach the two pieces? I'd like to make a glass candle, it doesn't have to look perfect and 100% neat, but can the two pieces be reattached together once I put the wick in place?
@@WandaThePanda quality epoxy is usually tougher than whatever is being "glued" together with even a thin layer. The material will fail before the epoxied joint will.
Tape acts a barrier against temp changes when it is shocked. Even if you score it, without the tape, areas near the scored line hv a tendency to break & misaligned. more sanding then. Try w/o tape & u will see. make vid.🤗
Very nice. You must live somewhere where there's no drought and can afford to tip hot water down the drain without saving it. Love your choice of background music, so peaceful!
@@ahmeddmeutube9085 If I want to say SEE, or Saw It's my business...but thanks correction Police! Let me say it the way I want to, I'm not hurting you or anybody else.
Can this heating and cooling technique be used on bottles that aren't circular? I'll practice on a round glass bottle, however, I want to make a lampshade using three glass whiskey bottles of an irregular shape. Thanks for the great tutorial, you make it look so easy.
WOW!!! THATS AWESOME!! THANK YOU!!! beats the crap out of 'burning string man' lol it's going to be a challenge for me to cut a square bottle (Bundaberg Rum, Aussie rum :-) ) but i'll do my best! Cheers :-)
Hi, Thanks for this video. I watched this video a couple of times before attempting this. How much pressure do you use when scoring on the bottle. I can see the score line but it didn't crack along the score line. one end crack upwards and the other downwards, so missing each other by an inch. Also, how often should i change the blade on the glass cutter please. Thank you
Try to keep the line straight, repeat it a few times, and just scratch it a little bit. Pour boiled water and ice water into that gap. Try it , You will be successful.
Easy way to cut glass bottle at home , thanks for sharing this wonderful video , love and blessings from India 🇮🇳🙏,I am associated with save environment movement ,we reduce our carbon footprint any how, so many ways to waste management re use , recycle and rebuild old to new one
Scored with glass cutter-Check. Boiling water-Check. Ice cold water-Check. Bottle breaking-NO. Repeated process 15 times- Check Did it break? No. So ended up cutting with a diamond blade tile saw. Worked perfectly.
@@beeman1246 oh okay, that makes sense too. Still incredible that people come up with this stuff. Thank you for letting me know cause I've told a couple people about this so now I can explain it a bit better👍
@@Jakob_Kuhn No problem. I learned this trick when I installed ceramic tiles in my home. Ceramic tiles are almost as hard as glass. When cutting them, there was a lot of waste without tape. After applying tape (before cutting) there was no waste.
It's usually meant to be something that creates a channel for the hot water so only that section within the area gets hot, no idea why this person used tape
Using a soldering iron to fracture score lines is more reliable. Maybe I had inconsistent results with the hot/cold water method because I did not use tape.
Did you use any sort of cutting oil with the glass cutter?? I've looked through the comments and don't see anyone mentioning it. I'm subscribing to your channel, great video!

👍
5 years later and this is still useful to someone just starting out on this. Thanks!

Very good, but you should take care to wet the glass and the paper when you're sanding it. When sanded dry, the siliceous particles can go into your lungs and there's no way to get them out so be careful
Wow thanks so much for this info... jeez that's scary
I'd have recommended a mask

I remember that thing on TV. way back
Still got mine...
😊. Been trying to get glass cutter..maybe I should get this at a craft or hardware store. I dream of making my own chimes.
Happy new year everyone
ahhh memories
This is the cleanest cut I've seen in any tutorial

So patient!
So detailed!
I'd say... even entertaining to watch! Thank you.
That's pretty cool, guy. Same concept as cutting tile. Did not realize this would work on round objects!
Perfect. Exactly what I wanted to see. Thank you.
Thank you!

Thank you! Brilliantly simple methods!
Thank you, I was going to do this but then I found my bottle-opener! 👍😉
From all the videos I've seen so far (10) about glass bottle cutting, this one seems to be the more simple and realistic. Heads up!
Thanks

It was called the Fleming Bottle and Jug Cutter !
Smooth as butter!!!! Thanks for posting.
Best use for a Budweiser I've seen yet.
Well I’ll be stuffed ! Thanks, good job leaving the music out
Thank You. Greatly appreciated.
Soooooo cool
Let’s start doing more with glass bottles rather than just throw away!!!!!!
Good idea friend! Thank you so much! From southern of Brasil.
One of the cleanest cuts I've seen! 🤗
This the best method yet and safe. TFS
so far this is video is perfect circle ive watch in many titurials
Very professional cut. Thank you
Just performed it.. worked like a charm.. thank you

- What's the best way to reattach the two pieces? I'd like to make a glass candle, it doesn't have to look perfect and 100% neat, but can the two pieces be reattached together once I put the wick in place?
I'd say epoxy to put it back together
@@bustabee143 thanks! But how would that work? Is a thin layer, like glue, enough or does it need to have some thickness?
@@WandaThePanda quality epoxy is usually tougher than whatever is being "glued" together with even a thin layer. The material will fail before the epoxied joint will.
Oh wow that's so cool! You can use the bottle bottom as an ashtray paint it and give it away as a gift! Neat!
Thanks...the easiest bottle cutting video I've seen. Maybe I'll use wet sandpaper for smoothing the edges.

Fantastic, just what I needed to know thank you.

Wow that was a perfect cut 👍
Thanks
Yessss!!!!! We have no recycling service here, and I've been looking for ways to reuse waste products. This is great, thank you
Where do u live
@@robertlong9552 in middle-of-no-where Texas. Lol
Ha ha fair enough 😂
This is awesome! Ty for sharing... What kind of thin tape was that you used?
You don't need tape, and there's a better way of doing it. See my instructions on here.

Thanks for making it very easy.
I once wanted to make a set of drinking glasses, similar, but I could never figure it out. Now I know. Thanks.
All you need to cut glass is a tool made specifically for that purpose.. Who would have thought.
OMG I was having ASMR until you pulled that sander out! Haha!
Quite interesting. Thanks for the video!
is there a specific kind of tape you used? I have several types and not sure which one would be the best.

Awesome!. What was the need for the use of tape?
perfect 👏👏👏👏👏
I have an old style 1/2 gallon Almaden wine bottle filled with pennies. Will this method work to cut the bottle somewhere. Any suggestions?
Scored with glass cutter-Check.
Boiling water-Check.
Ice cold water-Check.
Bottle breaking-NO.
Repeated process 15 times- Check
Did it break? No.
So ended up cutting with a diamond blade tile saw. Worked perfectly.
I've had the exact same experience.
What is the name of this thin self-adhesive tape?
What is it used for otherwise?
Excited to try! Without the use of expensive tools, thanks for sharing!
By the way, what tape was used?
You can use any tape
Brilliant! But what did the tape do? JohnC
Using thermal shock with tape as a thermal barrier. Wow, genius idea. I never would've thought to do this
No it not as you think. Prevention of cracks

@@beeman1246 Hi, what type of tape do you recommend?
This is good work, God bless your work is very interested.
Great video, thank you! Question: what does the tape do?
I believe it’s for a better, more clean cut. You could do it without ofc, but I noticed my bottles look nicer when I protect the rim with tape.
@@possiblyvi You could use a rubber o-ring too - it is is reusable too!!
It's usually meant to be something that creates a channel for the hot water so only that section within the area gets hot, no idea why this person used tape
Thanks for your video.....what kind of tape did you use??
Great worked first time. I got the outer rim bevel now how to get the inner rim beveled?
Using a soldering iron to fracture score lines is more reliable. Maybe I had inconsistent results with the hot/cold water method because I did not use tape.
Thank you for sharing. How do you grind the inside rim of the glass?
I have a little diamond wheel for my dremel that works well.
can this be done with the bottles they make today that have been made in two halves? thankyou from New Zealand.
Gracias, es el mejor video que he visto, me quedo con este.🥳🤩🎉
Good ! Was there any need for the taping ?
great video! just what I needed to turn my beer drinking into and even more positive experience. Question: What's the purpose of the tape???
It reduces any cracks and takes the shock in the glass a bit
Also acts as a guide too
Hi, really nice method. What is the purpouse of the tape?
I was wondering the same thing
I'm not sure why this looks so satisfying!?! 🤔
Even more satisfying than sex?
Saved to useful folder :) Thank you
You think that method might work on thicker tube style glass?
Does this work with Coors? 😉 Great tip, Thks.
Is it some special type of adhesive tape
Could u pls. explain what does the tape do?
What is the tape anyway?
Perfect and clean job.
NICE! what kind of tape was used???
Muito bom Parabéns nota 1000
Can you just dunk it in boiling water? And then into cold? Or should you pour the boiling water?
That was really neat!
Muito bom!
Did you use any sort of cutting oil with the glass cutter?? I've looked through the comments and don't see anyone mentioning it. I'm subscribing to your channel, great video!
Water is the best
Cutting oils best not water as the cut needs to be wet all the time if its too dry it cracks
Great content !
great video! But does anyone know where I can buy a bottle like that instead? :)
