    Hey hey my family is from Espanola, Ontario. Elk Lake Ontario was our place to be every summer! I now live in Saint John New Brunswick Canada and crazy enough I bottle hunt for some of the oldest bottles in Canada in the oldest incorporated city in Canada. I love what you do with the bottles you find and I hope to learn from you how I can cut sand and upcycle the bottles I'm finding here. They are in some rough shape, some of them. So glad I found your channel!!

    • @Adventurous4Life
      @Adventurous4Life  2 года назад

      Awesome! Any bottles saved and upcyled is great. They look so cool as cups on display, or place holders. Hope the cutting goes well for ya! Once you do a few you get the hang of it, the end result is well worth it! 😄

    Take a propane torch to the rim of the glass. After you're done grinding with the Dremel. It makes the rim smooth and more clear. It gets rid of the frosted look from sanding. Try it, works and looks great.👍☮️

      @Adventurous4Life  3 года назад +1

      Interesting... Idk if i can trust the glass with a torch hough in my hands lol! Sounds like if you heat it up wrong the glass with shock and crack! 😄 I might pass on it but if done right it would probably look sweet!

      @@abacavip6426 I don't know of a video. I figured it out watching a girl blow glass. When she wanted to make a edge smooth she used a torch. I put the bottles in my oven and bring them up slowly to the highest heat. Then I take the propane torch and move it around the rim of the glass. You'll see when it becomes slick and shiny. It removes that frosted look that's nearly impossible to get smooth enough with grinding tools. Hope this helps.👍☮️

    I love these! I crazy stupid love these! Some of the ones with interesting, non-cylindrical shapes you suggested were destined to be pencil holders. I don’t have that many pencils. And the lettering is so interesting, why not find a way to make it more visible? Would it work to coat the interior with opaque, solid color epoxy? That way, the lettering would be more legible? They could serve well as planters or vases.

    Excellent video ! Hey where my Molded Monday video ? LOL Hey man you got something really going on there ! How much would you charge me to cut and smooth some bottle for me when i have some ? Here another ideal for you, take you a card table or a small table and display some of the bottles you have cut out in front of your home along the road, of course you would have to be around or go out to a major highway or interstate intersection and setup and try to sale some that way maybe passing tourists will stop and buy from you. I know i would.

    • @Adventurous4Life
      @Adventurous4Life  3 года назад

      Lol, Moldy Monday will be back next week 😄😄😄 And based on just the time it takes to cut these would be $10-15 for a soda. About an hour or 45 minutes per glass.
      As for the sales on the side of the road might take a while to sell some lol! But i used to sell them online just closed the shop as I dont have enough time to run the store and work full time!
