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.
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.
Cool trick, out of all the RUclips 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.
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.
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👍
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.
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.
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.
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
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.🤗
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
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.
This is kool and all, but, what are the two pieces useful for? Maybe the bottom for ash tray? I'd like to see a bottle cut to use as vase or drinking glass, maybe. 👍🏼
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 :-)
I have a bottle with curved sides which means the cutter is difficult to get perpendicular to the sides...does that matter? Will your method still work? Thanks.
Use the bottom for an ash tray, the top to cover a candle....or cut higher up the bottle to make a fancy drinking glass...toothbrush holder...pen/pencil holder...etc.
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.
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.
@@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.

Cool video. I worry about boiling hot water going down my PVC sink plumbing. Maybe I worry too much but I run cool water with it to cool it down a bit.
Hi, Firstly appreciate your neat cut, and clear straight forward video - which is very explanatory. Now, I have a simple query. There are 420 comments & replies to them.

I remember that thing on TV. way back

Happy new year everyone
ahhh memories
This is the cleanest cut I've seen in any tutorial

Did it break? No.
So ended up cutting with a diamond blade tile saw. Worked perfectly.
I've had the exact same experience.
Could u pls. explain what does the tape do?
What is the tape anyway?
This was so helpful! Loved it! No bs, just a straight forward way of explaining and showing the results. I'll watch more for you!

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
Hola para que pones la cinta y como se llama mil gracias

Simplicity and Silence combined create near perfect recall for the Spatial mind
Perfect is right!
So patient!
So detailed!
I'd say... even entertaining to watch! Thank you.
I’ve seen this done before. But what’s the tape for?? Isn’t it easier to just stick the bottle into a boiling water pot??
You don't need tape to cut a bottle...it's a fallacy.
@@Turrican60Yeah, it doesn’t seem to serve a purpose.
That's pretty cool, guy. Same concept as cutting tile. Did not realize this would work on round objects!
Thanks...the easiest bottle cutting video I've seen. Maybe I'll use wet sandpaper for smoothing the edges.
Probably a stupid question but what did the tape do? Maybe act as a way to create a shallow channel were the water would concentrate?
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.
It was called the Fleming Bottle and Jug Cutter !
Maybe I missed something but what is the tape before
Helps stop the stress fracture from becoming jagged as it protects the bottle only a little thing but can make a difference!
I tried this and succeed the first time!!! Thanks for sharing✌
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!
Thank you, I was going to do this but then I found my bottle-opener! 👍😉

seen, not saw.

Soooooo cool
Let’s start doing more with glass bottles rather than just throw away!!!!!!
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.
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
Hi, really nice method. What is the purpouse of the tape?
I was wondering the same thing
Great work my friend.
What tape did you use and what tape would work?
Well I’ll be stuffed ! Thanks, good job leaving the music out
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.🤗
What is that tape?
@@JohnnyZenith Yes.
You can use any tape lol
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
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.
@@Turrican60 Thank You!
Great worked first time. I got the outer rim bevel now how to get the inner rim beveled?

Is that a glass cuter they start out with
Yessss!!!!! We have no recycling service here, and I've been looking for ways to reuse waste products. This is great, thank you

Thank you! Brilliantly simple methods!
All you need to cut glass is a tool made specifically for that purpose.. Who would have thought.
so far this is video is perfect circle ive watch in many titurials
The same question,what type of adhesive band do you use?
is there a specific kind of tape you used? I have several types and not sure which one would be the best.
Very well done! Great tip! What type and grit of sand paper did you use? Thank you!
This is kool and all, but, what are the two pieces useful for? Maybe the bottom for ash tray? I'd like to see a bottle cut to use as vase or drinking glass, maybe. 👍🏼
Me too 👍🏼 😊
You can peel the paper off and use as a funky tea light cap
Best Bottle cut ever, simplicity itself.
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 :-)
I once wanted to make a set of drinking glasses, similar, but I could never figure it out. Now I know. Thanks.
can this be done with the bottles they make today that have been made in two halves? thankyou from New Zealand.
Just performed it.. worked like a charm.. thank you
What is the tape you stick under and over the cut mark called? Cut mark ke upar aur niche jo tape chipkaya use kya kahate hain.?
Is that Sand Paper that smooth it out? Can you do it by hand?
Yes i think so
I have a bottle with curved sides which means the cutter is difficult to get perpendicular to the sides...does that matter? Will your method still work? Thanks.
Would using elastic bands work instead of tape or not? Just trying to save time as I’ve lots of bottles to do 👍🏼
No tape is needed. Sometimes it prevents cracks.
The elastic band would warp with the hot water
Brilliant! But what did the tape do? JohnC
Can you just dunk it in boiling water? And then into cold? Or should you pour the boiling water?
Is the tape really necessary? thanks for the video👍
Once it's cut, what do you do with the 2 pieces?
Use the bottom for an ash tray, the top to cover a candle....or cut higher up the bottle to make a fancy drinking glass...toothbrush holder...pen/pencil holder...etc.
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.
Can u suggest how to make hole in glass bottle at home. As I want to make lamp. I liked u r idea about bottle cutting.
What is the width of the tape you used?
Did you just put two lines of tape around it or did you also score the glass between the lines of tape
Does any type of tape work?
Yes
Pour oil into the bottle until it reaches where you want to cut it. Insert a red hot poker and it will split at that level of the oil. Simple.
What kind of oil
@@idontknowmuch3441 engine oil, vegetable, any should do it. make sure the poker is red hot. it will cut it almost immediately.
