      I practised this method but couldn’t get the heat to crack the glass in a line so I returned to using a diamond tipped socket and just kept moving along to create the length then used a smaller diameter to go back and smooth the peaks between the cuts.

    • @HowDoYouDIY

    Great video. The sharper a corner the greater the stress concentration and the more likely a crack will form where it's not wanted. Some of the first welded steel ships, the Liberty Ships, broke in half because they had sharp rather than rounded hatch corners. Due to the high stress concentration at the sharp corners a crack in the steel would start there and then run rapidly all around the hull. This is true in any rigid material. The bigger the radius at a corner the less the stress concentration and the less likely the strength of the material will be exceeded

      I learned some of the “whole" tricks from a glass cutter at a glass dealer / distributer. I had to tell him what I needed, & couldn’t seem to explain it to anyone who could explain it to him, “Why don’t you just come on back & explain it yourself.” Bingo!!
      I suggest more rounded corners, & then file, sand, nibble away to a square corner. Use the file or sandpaper gently to avoid breakage / catastrophe. “Soft” nibblers from your stained glass tool kit, tiny little “nibbles”.

    As a professional glazer, I would use a drill bit designed for glass. Drill one hole in each corner then score the glass and continue as shown on this video. To remove the piece easily you need to score the glass diagonally from corner to corner and heat as shown. You will not get a perfect 90 degree corner but you could use a square stick wrapped in sand paper to square up the corner.

      Note that a radius _reduces_ risk rather than eliminates it: essentially it raises the threshold at which a crack might occur
      One approach I've considered (but yet to try) is cutting between small drilled holes. I've a suspicion it might not work as well as might be thought, and that the sequence of actions (e.g. score then drill vs. drill then score) will also influence outcome

    excellent idea and thanks for sharing. I only saw you scoring the top line, but not the rest of the edges. Is my observation correct ? If yes, that would mean that you use the soldering iron to crack the top line after scoring, then use just heat only to continue to crack the rest of the edges. If you were to score the rest of the edges using hand held cutter, wouldn't it be fast to crack the edges and result in more accurate crack ? Please advise. Many thanks.

    • @HowDoYouDIY
      @HowDoYouDIY  3 года назад +1

      Great observation! Yes, I only scored the top line and used the heat to guide the crack the rest of the way. From my experience, once the crack is started it will move about the same fast whether there is a score or not. But it can be more accurate with a score all the way around because the score gives you a groove to hold the iron on track.

    The corners are cracking because Sharp corners are pretty much already cracks. Imagine a tiny skateboarder riding his skateboard on the inner surface of the bottle that you just cut. Any spot where it is not smooth and he would crash on his skateboard , that would be considered a crack waiting to happen. Also it's sort of like trying to rip a t-shirt at the collar. once you have a tiny cut in the collar of the T-shirt it rips easily. It's pretty much the same thing. Basically if you could find a way to round the corners instead of making them fine points you could avoid cracking. I'm a glassblower I hope these tips help you

    • @HowDoYouDIY
      @HowDoYouDIY  3 года назад

      Thickness of the bottle does make a difference, thicker bottles are usually harder to do. Beer bottles are a good thickness to practice/learn on. I have noticed that the color of the bottle seems to make a difference too. Clear bottles seem to be the easiest.
      Also, scratching the score line into the bottle takes a bit of practice too. If it's not deep enough it won't ever start, and if it's too deep it won't start either. Try to pass over the score line only once when scratching it.
      I hope this is helpful. Keep trying, and good luck!!

    What if the corners are saved until last? That or partially heating the corners then come back and finish last?
    Interesting video.
    Might be a good gift idea. Think of a ship inside a bottle with the cut glued back. If lucky, no sanding so the edges will match. Kind of have my doubts about completely hiding the cut though.
    Maybe paint the backside where the cut is. I suspect the cut would still be visible on the inside though.
    Something to experiment with.

    • @HowDoYouDIY
      @HowDoYouDIY  4 года назад +1

      Thanks for sharing your idea, I love your idea of using this to put something inside the bottle! One thing I noticed about the sharp corners was that they will crack eventually. If not while doing this then when you pop the center out, or sometime after. It seems like that point encourages it to happen there. But an alternate option is making rounded corners. I hope this helps!

    • @rickeykeeton71
      @rickeykeeton71 4 года назад

      How Do You? DIY I wonder if there is some way of stuffing the bottle with something to lessen the chance of the corners breaking past the “cut”.
      Something else I wonder about is maybe drilling a very small hole in the corners then do the cut. I have always thought a hole at the end of a windshield crack would stop the crack from getting longer.
      Aw heck, just heat the whole bottle in an oven then cut it with the iron!
      Think of welding cast iron.

    Great video! Can this be done on the bottom of a bottle or glass?

      That's a really good question. I've tried to do this on the bottom of a bottle, but the glass seems to be too thick. I couldn't get it to work on the bottom.

      Oh, I have another video about drilling holes that works on the bottom of bottles and glasses ruclips.net/video/vruWpGb5248/видео.html
      And here's another video I made where I drill smaller holes in a bottle with a different bit. I don't discuss the drilling much in this one, but I do show the bit that I used. ruclips.net/video/BDAc0ZWjVjs/видео.html
      Hope this is helpful!

    How deep must the score line be to work well? I have a real hard time getting the bottle to crack with the soder iron. :(

    • @HowDoYouDIY
      @HowDoYouDIY  3 года назад

      When you score the bottle, you want it to make a line that looks more than just a light scratch. Only scored the line once. If you score the line more than once, the crack may not start. Also remember that the thicker the glass is will be harder too. I recommend practicing with a thin bottle. Also, clear bottles seen to be the easiest, but color bottles are possible too.

      ​@@HowDoYouDIY Yeah, the drill bit I tried scratched the glass but gave me the hardest time to make a straight line without being all sketched out. Making the heat effect of cracking not possible because of lack of depth I imagine?! For sure I will practice alot! Wich color do you find the hardest to work with? Hey man, you're the best, thanks for answering me with all this! :)

      I've never tried scratching the glass with a drill bit, so that could be. I've done this with green, blue, and brown color bottles. All of them seemed to be about the same hard to start. The easiest bottle for me to cut like this was a salsa jar. Clear glass, and it was thin.

      @@HowDoYouDIY I have tried but I can't seem to achieve getting a crack with a salder iron. I have used a bigger one, more powerful and still no crack. Wether i score the glas once of manytimes over, the crack doesn't appear. Is it long to get a crack? What am I doing wrong? I'm very interested in achieving this so getting tips and advice would be very much welcomed! :)

    I got a super thick milk bottle I'd like to turn on its side maybe cut out a rectangular hole I'd post a pic but my phone doesnt let me would this work for that type if project? It would have to not crack at all tho because it would be holding water.

    • @HowDoYouDIY
      @HowDoYouDIY  3 года назад +1

      It should work, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Thick bottles are possible but more difficult to get started. And you don't want sharp corners on the holes. For a rectangular hole, you can make it with curved corners.
      I would recommend practicing on some thinner bottles so that you can get a feel for the process.
      Another option of this doesn't work, you could use a Dremel with a diamond cutting wheel. If you do, keep the glass under water, wear a good dust mask, and safety glasses.

    How long are you holding the solder in place on the bottle? I cannot figure out if the video speed things up or not, thank you

    • @HowDoYouDIY
      @HowDoYouDIY  3 года назад

      That's a good question. When trying to start the crack, about 8-10 seconds before moving it. Up to about 30 seconds of the crack is being stubborn about starting. After the crack is started, it varies, but usually a couple seconds.

      Thicker bottles are a bit harder to start a crack in. I would recommend practicing on thinner bottles to get a feel for the process. Soda/beer bottles are usually fairly easy, but the easiest and thinnest bottle I tried was a salsa jar.

    Can this method be used for a circular hole size of a quarter on a liquor bottle ?

    • @HowDoYouDIY
      @HowDoYouDIY  3 года назад +1

      I'm not sure if it would do a circle that size. I would actually recommend using a diamond drill bit made for glass, like this: amzn.to/2FOkUji
      Here is a video I made showing how to use that type of bit to drill holes in bottles: ruclips.net/video/vruWpGb5248/видео.html
