[sensualasya]

Fantastic. Where do you find such a tool? At a hardware store? Or is it online only?

[somedayilllearn]

Dude. You rock.

[HARDKNOCK64]

3:39 saved you the time.

[pegasus75068]

ps.. love your cat--haha!

[pegasus75068]

Yay! Really awesome! I can't wait to try it--thank you. :-))

[gillneno]

you must have asbestos hands

[cegoins25]

another good way to make more drinking glass

[luisagarcia8]

Genius! Thanks!!

[BRGNSXYBCK11]

A WILD CAT APPEARS!

[HullaKelu]

cool beans, can't wait to try this :)

[0001robm]

Thanks!! as an alternative, which i cant vouch for but worth a try for interest, someone once told me the easiest way to cut a bottle was to submerge it in a bucket of water, with IIRC a thin layer of oil, cant remember inside or outside the bottle.

then slowly lower a red hot piece of metal in the inside bottle part. when you hear a pinch the bottle is done.

[SusannaMrsBMomEtc]

Okay, a free thinker named Dan, not so surprising, but me dreaming of doing this with ease and then finding a video on how to do it by my favorite "Green Power Science", VERY SURPRISING! Dan, you and Denise are great and I look up to you. Thanks for helping humanity!

[onemouse1]

Nice job! Good skill for that "I only need" project.

[TrinityMediaWorks]

YAY

i have that sink too

except mines in the kitchen >:(

[thaikinh]

what is the temperature of hot water do I need (approximately) ?

[tracydawn222]

This works perfect! I found the cutter they used at Hobby Lobby for $24.99. Took me a few more than 2 rounds of heating and cooling, but then worked like the video. I did not even use boiling water just tap (ours gets VERY hot though). My first try at this, I only lost 1 of 9 due to cracking down the side of the bottle (pretty sure I went too fast from cold to hot). Basically, do this method. No flame throwers or shattering glass involved!

[SaltLifeNurse]

How awesome! thank you! We are into re-purposing items, such as wine bottles and this was very good video! thank u!

[hypnosisdoc]

I bought that bottle cutter 2 months ago, instructions are extremely vague but your video hit it all on the mark. I was cutting wrong and wasting valuable bottles until I came across your video, thanks.

[prooutdoorsman]

i like how he covered the bad part of the cut wit his finger haha what a loser

[zippidoo1]

Why would you want to cut glass??!!

[DjPuckFL]

Try, Industrial tile saw. yeah it even cuts boro,...effin amazing.

[chrispeck89]

guitar slides?

[tyreza79]

FROM a hair drier i took the resistive wire; and hooked it on an 12ac 105 va source; it turns white in heat, and i put it arround the bottle; and it is so perfect even without using cold water after :

hot wire technique is the fastest and the best ; i guess

[ezmereldagreen]

THANKS DAN!!! You've helped so much...i had to watch twice cause the first time I was just thinking how cute you are....I've had one success but I have to get my husband to do the scoring as it makes me cringe - the second bit WAS like magic!!!

[muserwood]

I would find some type of can that was as tall as I want my cut line on the bottle. Place the glass cutter on top of the can, at a right angle to the wine bottle, put the bottle against the cutter and and turn the bottle, with you hand holding down tightly on the can and cutter. Only etch around ONE TIME with cutter. I like your hot water idea, but I use to soak a string in lighter fluid, tie around the cut mark, light it and rotate bottle for maybe 10 seconds, blow out flame, place under water

[create812]

7:10 is where the magic happens.

[theonlykatii]

Very cool.  Thanks!

[DoYouLikeGreenDay]

This fits on her perfectly its a perfect... cat?

[45leavitt]

great video!

[saviolopez77]

Hey Dan, thanks for the video. Very helpful.

[F8H]

I'm pretty sure that the water doesn't leak out when you press on it because of your hand preventing air to enter on the top, this preventing the air cavity to become bigger and the water to level to go down. I'm not trying to sound like a douche.. just sharing my thoughts :D. Great method though, really clean edges!

[jfarrell111]

cat goes meow

[roaringleo57]

Dan, great idea once again. Just a thought: the jig for the cutter should incorporate the hot water pouring directly above the score line. i.e. glass cutter and water drip are next to each other. 1. heat the water using solar. 2. rotate the bottle on the wheel jig to score the glass. 3.with the bottle still in place on the wheel jig turn a valve to let the hot water drip while turning the bottle second time. So it's an all-in one unit. you could crank out bottle super fast.

[kcev]

This is the video that I have been waiting for. Awesome. Thank you so much for all your experimentation and for sharing the results!

[shotout1965]

cool,now I know what to do with all the cool booze bottles I collect.

[SLINGSHOTandMOLOTOWS]

THANKS DAN!! I just tryed it and it was fast easy and PERFECT! I did a jar and it holds water

[stevehoge]

dude you are a genius!

[dijion23]

Excellent Dan. Finesse beats brute force with glass. Thank you.

@cuurrrie - 3in1 oil works good for the 'bearing' of the glass cutter, or just keep it clean.

[cuurrrie]

you said that there was no need to clean or oil the glass is there a need to oil the glass cutter? and if so with what?

[ayayay111]

the best thing about the video is that cat

[teruash]

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing. It makes me want to have a go- right now.

[mrshammerhankus]

thanks for sharing, u showed why not to use certain methods and then showed the easiest way, this saved me research time since u did it already, also, thanks for the tip about the bars for salvage 

[phantastikjourney]

Has anyone tried a rotary tool (Dremel) to sand the edges after the cut?

[AzaIndustries]

(wx3).sustainlane.(c0m)/review­s/how-to-make-drinking-glasses­-from-wine-bottles/YS4RNI4XYPY­2SBV7RDNIWS3MHWOR

[Skater9881]

i shit myself when the top part fell into the sink!

[kglafont]

@Azalndustries so you used a candle instead of the hot water on the score line? then dunk it in ice water? thanks for the info.

[AzaIndustries]

@kglafont yeah and I've done 9 so far only 1 fail. Personally I think the hard part is all the sanding work you have to do!

I've hand sanded 5 so far and they have turned out great, but its taken me a few hours. I'm getting faster at it though.

Practice makes perfect!

[aerofart]

Excellent! Thanks!

[teoalivanoglou]

7:15 it scared the shit out of you, didn't it?? :P

[kglafont]

I just tried cutting a wine bottle and it is not working. I bought the same tool and scored the bottle. Did the hot and cold water. What can I try?

[AzaIndustries]

@kglafont I used a candle and a bucket of iced water. For some of the thicker bottles I had to heat up and dunk a few times.

Also rotate the bottle slowly over the candle I was doing it fast and it doesn't heat up as fast.

Heat till you can't leave you finger on the glass for more then a few seconds. =P

This was my first attempt at glass cutting and so far I have made 10 glasses in a day and only 1 failed.

Also use a decent sized candle so the flame is bigger/hotter.

[AzaIndustries]

@kglafont oh and the edges of my method are perfect like the ones in the video the candle doesn't superheat the glass or anything, 10 perfect glasses and only 1 failed so far for me.

I think the main problem people have is how they cut the glass.

Sometime it requires a bit of patience I had 1 bottle that refused to break and took me about 15 minutes lol. Thickest glass I've seen on that one!

[jdesign407]

9:33 for funny sound

[witchslaugh]

I've been wanting to know how to do that for the last 20yrs. Thanks for the video.

[claudiasorensen2]

This is perfect. Can I cut gallon wine bottles using this method?

[cocemojoe]

Thanks you told exactly what I was looking for, thanks much Dan. ?you mentioned two things I would like to find out, 1. glass adheasive- ?could you give me a product name and your results. 2. ?What were you going to do with the vacuum.

[MANX2VIDEO]

good info Dan, thanks.

[Biotoxin388]

finaly, a good vid on how to cut a bottle

[proftrebuchet]

Thats not a cut ...thats a cat!

[boxercoffee]

why am i watching this

[GuyFawkes40]

Smart Man..Good job dude..!!

[iheartscreamcore]

if you dont have a glass cutting mechanism like the one you used, what's the next best thing?

[PsychosisMichael]

Nice video,

but man invest in a pair of safety goggles.

by the way I thought the bong comment was funny. The fact that this would be great for making bongs was actually the first thing I thought when I saw this.

[iansuderman]

Great little video on glass cutting. I have done this on mirrors with limited success but I can see how this is much improved to my method. If you use the little hammer you create a lot of dust and fragments will come at your eyes. I am not one to wear eye protection easily but it is a must with this.

[XStarheadXxx]

cat comes up

MRRRRAAAAAAAWWWWW

him why, What

[benherrerajr]

professional!

[Knots4Knives]

That was a great video. Thanks

[soulncode]

Amazing! Definitely a very useful video. I usually do 'the flame string method'...Now I don't have to inhale all those smoke. Thanks.

[delacruzjavi]

not bad. I use a tile saw and get really clean cuts. takes some practice, but the saw does all the work. they make great gifts and you dont put all that glass in the trash dump. I also sold some last year and made about 200 bones

[Mousewmn]

what will you be using the bottles for? I didn't look very long, but wondering what kinds of things can be made from them. Love the vid as usual!!

[larssmithsf]

Thanks for sharing

[anngry]

how cool! thanks for posting!

[STSahani]

Thanks for the video. Good tips, looking forward to cutting some of the bottles that I have saved!!

[RennerTechnology]

I really need to give you a 2x Thumbs UP!!!!! for one great video/review!!!! thanks man!!!

[TIKIWOLF]

Yeah, I bought this tool and have had not much luck with it. Does not break off so easily. I find tapping with the included hammer tool helps, but seems like a wet-tile saw is the way to go.



[mradambeau]

what can i use to score the glass if i dont have that special tool? Will this work on the neck of the bottle to??

[skizzarz]

cool beans, what are the vacuum tubes for? :D

[timmyfasho]

@skizzarz penis pump

[titigoofy]

very nice work but talking too much

[4230020]

Tile saw?

[barutsuomiei]

i thought there would be lasers... :(

[nyelementalz]

The clean break just doesn't seem to happen. Slower stressing needed or ??

[greenDIYscience]

It would be really cool making vacuum tubes with easily to get whine bottles

[TheBaykusReis]

nice work but what should we do with square bottles? I have lots of olmeca tequila bottles :) they are also denty

[terri414725]

lol, cat .

[bluejoy08]

there is so much talk about other methods, and how useless they are. wish you'd come to the point and focus more on the method you wanna demonstrate

[MaxQNik]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaah.

[angelinamonroe]

Is it recommended to buff the edges, in addition to just sanding them down?

[lobstermendez]

so just a question of curiousity, why would you want to cut a bottle?

[betenoireindustries]

so... not *boiling* water, evidently, then. just hot, right?

[kirtley2010]

is it possible to cut a bottle with a hacksaw? i need to make a cut bottle for a experiment but i dont want to buy a bottle cutter just for one single occasion

[0001robm]

@kirtley2010 you could use a "diamond blade" or, get a glass cutting hacksaw blade

as a idea you could get a regular cheap score & 4 pieces of scrap wood.

1) on wooden base, drill hole and fit the scorer wheel facing up

2) 2 flat pieces side by side on top of base, but with a gap between exposing scorer.

Channel gap keeps the bottle in place but wide enough to touch the scorer.

The bottle lies on its side and will roll.

3) last piece on top of last 2, bottom of bottle

[softurd]

Flemming glass cutters are as old as I am . Even they are not perfect. A home made jig would be easier to work/

[mrpieman12]

why am i watching this

[scooter4lifeman]

Use a wet tile saw it gives you an amazing cut

[LaLaLandMUA]

i'm having issues with patron bottles.

somebody help!

[ChiiSan09]

@LaLaLandMUA this is a tutorial on round bottles. and patron bottles are really tedious to work with anyways. you should try something easier before working on something that complex of a shape. and the glass in patron bottles are notoriously thicker then average tequila bottles due to its odd shape. it would be like trying to do this to a crystal skull vodka bottle. long, tedious, and hard.

[LaLaLandMUA]

@ChiiSan09 It's for a gift. She only drinks patron. I'm going to take them to someone who has the means to cut them. Thanks though.

[erickelly80]

Nice cut! When I cut bottles I use a wet saw, like the ones used to cut tile. Privilege of working in a glass shop and having an uncle that owns a glass business.

[uglytothebone5]

that was gr8 i like things to do sometimes thanks a hole lot gr8 job.

[ew2775]

any suggestions on how to get clean cuts? it seems that the bottle always cracks above or below the score line. sometimes i get lucky but most of the times i can never get an even cut

[sibco96]

9:24 Cool magic trick. Create a vacuum and no more liquid escapes.

[alangraham785]

Nice job, Can you do Denijons this way ? I have about three I would like to do.

[hollyphillipsvsu]

Thank you!! This really works.  My husband was successful on his 3rd try!

[badmemory]

Impressive

[eljafariA]

Where I can bay something like that please can you Tell me webseit

[dogmandan79]

This works great. I found an old glass cutter in my toolbox and tried this only seconds after watching this video. My cuts weren't as nice so the bottle was a bit lopsided on the edge but it worked like a charm. Excellent video.

[sratytaty]

Can i do it withouth the glass cuter like that?

[junkaroonie]

I jumped when the top fell into the sink! Thanks for a great technique.

[timmyjimmytoo]

Hello, Great video and wonderful information.

I would like to cut the bottom off a glass, leaving a small edge on the inside of the bottom of the glass, Do you think this method would work for that?

Wondering how to score the bottom of the glass. I bet this will work.

[deaftodd]

Now my bong is fucked, thanks!

[dakzilla93]

Booze bottles and kitty. All I could think of was Trailer Park Boys.

[leahb1089]

Omg I when your cat came into the frame and you said "what?....really??" lol i KNOW how you feel. also my cat Max looks JUST like your black cat. it was rather creepy how identical they looked lol. this video was very helpful thank you

[calvinmartinstevens]

To those having trouble, I had to run under hot, cold, hot, cold about 10 times or so. My scoring could have been a little better but mostly just be patient and let the process work. Also place a dishtowel in the sink as on the coke bottle I dropped the top and chipped out a large section!

[calvinmartinstevens]

You sir get my "Bill Nye" award. I tried two bottles just now. Technique worked perfectly. I only have a small area that needs ground down, otherwise a perfect circle. I did a wine bottle and a classic coke bottle from some years ago (the old straight style bottle not the popular curvy style.)

[ScottAdams2509]

great video, even better commentary, just went to your site and ordered the bottle cutter. Thx

[3alazagg]

A 10 minute video for a 30 seconds trick.... shit!

[ew2775]

is this as easy as the video makes is seem? i have tried this a number of times and cannot get an even cut.

do you lighly score the bottle or make a deeper cut?

how hot does the water need to be? either the water is not hot enough as it does not cut the bottle. hotter water causes the bottle to crack uneven

what am i missing as i am ready to give up on this process

[melissafish78]

I love this! Can you tell me if the glass cutter is adjustable? I would like to be able to just cut the bottom of the bottle off. If so, I'm definitely getting one.

[meqa10]

Wow great video - most useful, well explained and well annotated! Fab

[bulltexan1]

Yep,,,I have been doin this for years with a whistle type steam kettle.

I have learned to put a towel in the sink though.

After breaking a couple of "funnels",,,I learned to cushion the top,rather than it just plopping in the sink.

[MilBIdodora]

I will try this out

Hopefully to succeed ; )

[TheDrLaronski]

Thanks, this worked perfectly, even with very thick bottles.

[nicholasfuric]

Glass beer bong!

[Spdemelo]

awesome video! long video but worth watching.



[missrgb1988]

AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for posting this! I was going to try the fingernail polish remover and yarn trick tomorrow, but now I think I'll wait and do it this way instead!

[meetdiamond]

awww. the cat wants to be on youtube too.

[ErikCeCeAlexis]

I think this is an amazing video, thank you so much for sharing.

[Shimmerata]

Holy crap! hat's so easy! Thank you!

[greenlanternbatman]

hey couldn't you just use a grill lighter instead of warm water? and just a bucket of sand to smooth out the edges?

[punbaca]

I'm totally going to do this

[Trashjack101]

Um.. I never knew cutting glass bottles was so important to people.

[LZeluff]

@Trashjack101

You're a douche bag. People cut bottles for all sorts of reasons! Candles, home decor, crafts, etc! Go look at a video that's worth YOUR while instead of going and commenting on videos that don't interest you.

[jksdfkljify]

@LZeluff Calm down bitch, it wasn't even an aggressively written comment.

[kpossibles]

awesomeeeeeeeee

[RussianAzeri]

06:09



[OohLaLaHolly]

this is awesome!

[datzfast]

thanks dan you the man

[ushillbillies]

You are the best man I watch you often Thankyou

[rosiethebear300]

Thats a great informative video - thanks!

[spoonie260]

Informative but he is long and drawn out. Doesn't get to the basics/point at all.

[LilNerdy1107]

Thumbs up if the top of the bottle popping off scared the crap out of you. lol

[Imabeliever55]

Could someone please tell me where I can get a glass cutter like the one used in this video. Great video--thanks for educating me!

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

@Imabeliever55 more info area of this video link.

[cloudsifter11]

@Imabeliever55 well, just turn on your sink and use cold and hot water... and boom you got one...

[winedinetv]

Great info, even if a little to slow to the point! Thank you!

[cmander7688]

I'm grateful for the info but god damn, man, spit it out already! This movie is three times as long as it needs to be.

[dontfreakinimme]

Oh wow. This is incredible. Thanks for making this video! I can't wait to try it out :)

[BarWillTender]

pff, when i was 12 and wanted a slide, i just smashed a bottle in the garbage can and then played with it! and it worked fine!

[donegalchick09]

Wow, My jaw litterally dropped when the top glass part just fell off! This is amazing, :)!!

[Snowavl1]

Nice one!!!!

[micmoable]

neat vid---neat cutting

[mrdomo1949]

What did the cat say? I'm sure I heard him say "WHAT" to the cat

[katinaleonova]

You are awsesome!!! Great job!!

[bears7777777]

when I do the flaming string method it gives us a clean edge but is lopsided. one side is usually higher than the other. which is ok with me :-)

[aszeto23]

WOW! Awesome! 

[GirlFromIpanema]

i am working on a project that involves cutting wine bottles and 9 out of 10 times, while using this method, the crack strays off of the score line and the bottle is completely ruined.

do you have any suggestions?

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

@GirlFromIpanema Your water is too hot. Also beer bottles can do that with some batches from batch of bottles the beer came in.

Your first drops use hotter water to start. Then work the crack placing drops of water only on the edge of the crack. Takes about 1 minute for the whole cut. Also run the bottle under the sink stream to aid in cooling. This increases the effectiveness of the water as it is temperature difference that matters. Remember only ONE score pass. Multi passes can cause a this2

[NONNIE357]

Pretty Cool Imma have to try it !!

[hebrewskin]

Long winded yammering. The majority of talking is to cover methods that do not work.

[annedemers]

oh my god thank you! the hammer has been brutal.

[guitaristshobi]

Wow.... thanks so very much.. i just wanted to make a Bottleneck slide for my Guitar.. i went to the market where they do glass-works.. i searched everywhere, every shop.. they all said its a bit risky to do & that was the only bottle i had so i didn't took the risk.. this evening i just came back home & googled for instructions :D it dropped me on this video.. wow i got my neck cut perfectly :D i am so happy .. Muah to the instructor :) love you .. you are the guy :)

[BazeRdc]

3:23 he says "it's the perfect cut" , and a Cat appears :D

[joannamisare]

Ok - I just got my glass cutter - works great! Have a question - do you run hot water just on the cut for a second or 2 and then the cold water? I ran the hot for about 20 sec then the cold water and I keep getting the perfect cut around but I'm also getting a crack down each side. Why is that happening?

[gdeah]

this was great. It took me 3 tries to get a perfect cut but I admit to not having a consistant score line. Since I was just cutting the bottoms off of bottles I set the bottles in the boiling hot water before running under cold. worked like a charm. Great video!

[pattymathews1]

Where do I find the $45 glass cutter shown in you video?

[gluefrog78]

omg that was awesome! not only does it look fun to do it also has a great use, im definitely going to try that, is there a way of cutting square glass i.e a jack daniels bottle? thank you for a brilliant post 10/10

[YouTheory]

What about a Diamond Rock cutting tin blade? Applying water to prevent airborne deadly glass crystals.

[297066002al]

is there a different way to score the glass besides that $45 thing?

[emtnest]

Thank you so much, very informative!!!

[dirosaga]

CUT TO THE DAMN CHASE!

[91748kevin]

great work you done, you are an pro, thumbs up for the cat
