I just got done building one of these based on this video and it does in fact work. The line that everyone says is a score line is made by the bottle rubbing on the heating element. That said, I think you do get better results if you do score it. I still have some tweaking to do, but it does work like the video.
yep. i havent made one and i know what that line is... everytime ive scored, ive ended up with bad cuts. hardest part is the actual smooth continuation, and the golden rule of glass cutting is ONE pass. i prefer a single strand of nichrome and rely on the thermal shock as it heats rapidly.

I can see the score line made with a glass cutting scribe first. The bottle doesn't have one, then it appears : @9:07 and is NOT in the same parallel as the heating coil. The coil on it's own cannot give such a precise cut - at least be honest about it.
@@copernicofelinisAt the time this video was posted it was March 31st. Even if an April Fools joke it isn't funny nor obvious which makes it at the very least an extremely lame attempt at a prank.
I think the “score line” people are seeing is the hot wire smearing onto the very hard glass. This glass-cutting trick is repeatable with a string soaked in fuel around a glass bottle, lit on fire, and then cracked with cold water. The thermal shock cracks the glass along the line of greatest tension, which is the very hot, thin outside line where the string burned or the coil rode.
Good design. Elegant and illustrates principles of alignment and jig construction. Well done!! If I build one of your units I would add a small ruler to the base, for more repeatable cuts.
why do people keep saying this is 'fake', and keep talking about a "score line"? the "score line" people keep mentioning is from the heating element. hot glass becomes malleable, and thus is able to be scratched by the metal element. It is breaking along the line that was heated, and then rapidly called. it's called thermal shock... There are plenty of other videos that explain this concept in other ways. for example; tying a string soaked in lighter fluid, then lighting it until it goes out, then dipping it in ice water will break exactly where the string is. did we score that before hand? no, we didn't... Thermodynamics at work! :3 great video! ^w^
That's nonsense. The hardness of the heating element is much lower than the glass hardness. And its also a spring. You cant scratch a steel beam with a sausage. You need tungsten carbide or a dimond cutter. Or may be 62 hrc steel.
@@DivineOwl idk why this is so hard for people to believe... 😅 the heating element is kanthal, and glass softens significantly when heated. yall sound silly being that confidently wrong. 😂

Don’t cut silica blocks like this!! “Exposure to silica dust can lead to the development of lung cancer, silicosis (an irreversible scarring and stiffening of the lungs), kidney disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.”

One problem I'm having with this is The cork supports the straite weight! I'm sure a heavier bottle will tilt and give an off-kilter line? Or am i missing something hear! Anyhow, I've subbed, as at some point i would live to make this gadget 🙏🏻🧚♀️🩷
I am usually unlucky when trying to use heat to cut glass. You seem to have made a jig to repeatably provide just the right amount of heat in the right place. The only thing that I did not hear mentioned is that your exposed heating coil is an electrical shock hazard in the same way the element is in a pop-up toaster though easier to touch and you should be careful and probably add warning labels to this effect so anyone else using it without you nearby will not be caught unawares. Otherwise I would say your electrical work was well done. An inline fuse would have been the only real upgrade I could suggest there.
"Just Insane" - You are correct. The bottles obviously have a cut-line from a glass cutter scribed into them near the where the heater wire contacts the bottle. The wood-working looks nice though.
he didnt fake it - cheap as fuck to make it and try it - it works - im not sure what application your cut bottles will have tho.... not many countries make the fuckers any more so why? just why? dipshits... (things that no longer generate revenue in RL are shared with ppl on youtube... gold mining gem mining ect... first they strip the mines and when it is no longer profitable they make money off of telling you how to do it)
@@FreeTea4Me turn table? I use a Bethlehem bravo torch.. bench cool the glass and hold w your hands or use grabbers... i anneal glass in a kiln.. but you can use vermiculite.... glass does not conduct heat well so I think you're over thinking means to hold and rotate it
you can do the same by a simple torch like gas one. the trick is you have already used glass cutter to put a like on it. also you can freez it and drop some boiling water
There is some videos on YT about that, its a bit hard, coz every bottle has it own internal tension, what are unpredictable cracks glass when youll try to break it, and usually finishing "spiral cut" is done manualy with some diamond tools
Thanks guys, looks like either of these would work... maybe the aluminosilicate (also known as "fire brick") might be easier to obtain? I appreciate the pointers
that's from the heating element. notice how it appears only after it's been heated and rotated multiple times. glass becomes more malleable at higher temps, thus is able to be scratched by metal (the heating element). I would suggest taking a step back and thinking for a bit before saying things so definitely. Whenever I see something that I don't understand, rather than assuming the other person is wrong, I first think of how I might be wrong, and use rational thinking to decipher my thoughts validity.
I have a rather stupid question. I tried this kind of heating wire as well, even smaller ones rated for 1000W. But without stretching it first, it would directly short ciruit when applied with 230V. You measure only 400W that is quite a substantial difference. Is this only due to your regulator that stops too much power going in?
I was wondering about shorts, too - around 5:25, he pulls the bottom edge down with a copper strand; maybe that stretched it enough to eliminate most shorts?

questions why wood you want to cut a glas bottle
To make drinking glasses out of them… Duh.
to make other things out of it. why would you cut *_anything_* ?
Wow, excellent video! A great idea with perfect camera work, narration, and editing. Well done.
Nice one. What is the heating voltage of the heating coil? 12 or 220? Thanks
Man I love your voice. It's calm and nice 😊
You are unmeasurable creative! Well done! 👏
But what do you do with cut bottles?
This is a wonderful apparatus, very nice and put together, viewer from trinidad
One problem I'm having with this is
The cork supports the straite weight!

Or am i missing something hear!

are the edges smooth or would they need some sanding?
the edges are very sharp. they need to be sanded, yes.
beautiful tool and 10/10 fabrication, well done buddy
What is the brand / model of that tubular crimper?
How do you polish off the sharp edges afterwards? Just curious
Cool and clean build!
That is TRULY amazing!!
Does this work on borosilicate glass? I hear bottles are more susceptible to thermal shock.
Love your nice clean work and sweet design! Now what are you going to do with 1,000 cut wine bottles?
Probably the nicest glass bottle cutter we've seen. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum last week, and people really liked it. 😎
Well done. I mean, I've gone my entire life without ever the need or desire to cut glass bottles, but cool.
Why would you need to cut a glass bottle for?
grav bong baby what else
Cut a fancy beer bottle, do some finishing on the rim, and you have a beer glass.

you are an artist, man
I've cut probably 40 bottles, by far the biggest pain is smoothing the edges.
We need a jig for that!
Smooth the edge w a torch ese... all this is unessasary

@@FreeTea4Me and js... sodium lime glass does not like to hot work much so you look for bottles made of boro or softglass which you can still find.

its April right ?
I wonder if some narrow guage nichrome wire like they use to cut styro foam would work to make spiral cuts on a bottle,
There is some videos on YT about that, its a bit hard, coz every bottle has it own internal tension, what are unpredictable cracks glass when youll try to break it, and usually finishing "spiral cut" is done manualy with some diamond tools
What is "silicon block" and where do you get this?
It looks to be the same thing as Hebel block. It's just lightweight autoclaved cement.
Looks like aluminosilicate furnace block to me.

Suggestion: add some sort of a ruler to the bottle holder to control or measure how thick the glass rings should be.
That is very clever. Thank you for sharing it. Well done!!!
I’m always nervous about sudden heat vs cold contrast shock on glass, porcelain etc… I’ve seen too many shatter.
Good idea!
Amazing ingenuity!
No diamant cutter? Only heating?
yes. it's called 'thermal shock'.
Dostum harika iş çıkarmışsın bravo 👏👏👏👏
Can I buy one? I am not mechanically inclined. How much? Serious inquiry.
You say that it is simple, but it takes skill and knowledge to build quality.
What is the ratio of success/failure?
Why cut the glass before?
I definitely see a score line
which was created by the metal heating element after rotating.
I wonder how thin the ring can be made?
A very nice and beautiful build. I like how clean, functional and organized your tool is. Thanks for an enjoyable video
