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 UA-cam 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.
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.
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👍
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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'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
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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.🤗
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.
During the 1950 s as a little boy i used to split the bottles in two with car oil. Carefully pour the oil in up to desired hight. Oil musnt touch the sides and must be level. Heat up a poker or any metal rod that fit through the hole to red hot. Push it carefully into the bottle wait a while the bottle will split in a perfect line. Try it.
In Italy they used to do this with large bottles of Vine. They used the cut bottle to plant them next to lemon or orange trees, filled them shells and volcanic rocks and burned coal. When watering the tree the tree got nutrions and ONLY the tree. No puddles around the trees where mosquitos can breed.
Perfecr. Just boiled water is sometimes danger for draining pipes - could get huge leakages, particularly if washing machine connected on the same pipes ❤
I don't understand why you put the tape on the sides of the cut line. I don't know how useful it is. Please can you say it? Thank you very much for the work taken to create this video. All the best
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. 👍🏼
Every scene, except when the person was grinding, you can hear someone honking their car horn. I hope whom ever made this video is doing well and hasnt fallen victim to the reckless driving in their area. That goes for everyone! Take your time on the road people. Your life may depend on it. That's the moral of the video. Thanks for the upload.

I remember that thing on TV. way back
Still got mine...
😊. Been trying to get glass cutter..maybe I should get this at a craft or hardware store. I dream of making my own chimes.
Happy new year everyone
ahhh memories

This is the cleanest cut I've seen in any tutorial
Best use for a Budweiser I've seen yet.

Thanks sir !
Actually there is a way way to get glass particles out, it's called cremation. Works everytime.
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!

I'd say epoxy to put it back together
@@bustabee143 thanks! But how would that work? Is a thin layer, like glue, enough or does it need to have some thickness?
@@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.

Simplicity and Silence combined create near perfect recall for the Spatial mind
Great work my friend.
What tape did you use and what tape would work?
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.
Perfect is right!
So patient!
So detailed!
I'd say... even entertaining to watch! Thank 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
Thanks...the easiest bottle cutting video I've seen. Maybe I'll use wet sandpaper for smoothing the edges.
Nice. Made it look so easy.
May I ask…what is the tape for? How does that help?
That's pretty cool, guy. Same concept as cutting tile. Did not realize this would work on round objects!
I tried this and succeed the first time!!! Thanks for sharing✌
Well I’ll be stuffed ! Thanks, good job leaving the music out
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!
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!
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?

It was called the Fleming Bottle and Jug Cutter !
Soooooo cool
Let’s start doing more with glass bottles rather than just throw away!!!!!!
Great worked first time. I got the outer rim bevel now how to get the inner rim beveled?
Is the tape really necessary? thanks for the video👍
Thank you, I was going to do this but then I found my bottle-opener! 👍😉
Always and I mean Always know where your church key is
😅😅
Could u pls. explain what does the tape do?
What is the tape anyway?
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
Thank you! Brilliantly simple methods!
Very well done! Great tip! What type and grit of sand paper did you use? Thank you!
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
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.
does the tape need to be that thin or is it OK if it's thicker? Is that a special kind of tape or can any other tape work?
The same question,what type of adhesive band do you use?
The cleanest cut I've ever saw.
seen, not saw.

Does this work with Coors? 😉 Great tip, Thks.
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.
Did you just put two lines of tape around it or did you also score the glass between the lines of tape
Is that a glass cuter they start out with
Hi, really nice method. What is the purpouse of the tape?
I was wondering the same thing
Just performed it.. worked like a charm.. thank you
can this be done with the bottles they make today that have been made in two halves? thankyou from New Zealand.

This is good work, God bless your work is very interested.
Brilliant! But what did the tape do? JohnC
Could we also hold the bottle in a basin of hot water?

is there a specific kind of tape you used? I have several types and not sure which one would be the best.
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.
Yessss!!!!! We have no recycling service here, and I've been looking for ways to reuse waste products. This is great, thank you
Where do u live
@@robertlong9552 in middle-of-no-where Texas. Lol
Ha ha fair enough 😂
Excited to try! Without the use of expensive tools, thanks for sharing!
By the way, what tape was used?
You can use any tape
Very nice.Now what's it for?
Does this work for ceramic?
Best method I've seen so far
Wat do u do with the bottles after?
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
Thanks for your video.....what kind of tape did you use??
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.
Great video.👍Where can I purchase some tape like you used?
Nice video expansion contraction to be able to get it to sever Itself
What is the name of this thin self-adhesive tape?
What is it used for otherwise?
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.
I once wanted to make a set of drinking glasses, similar, but I could never figure it out. Now I know. Thanks.
Is it some special type of adhesive tape
does the tape actually do anything?
Best Bottle cut ever, simplicity itself.

Heat up a poker or any metal rod that fit through the hole to red hot. Push it carefully into the bottle wait a while the bottle will split in a perfect line. Try it.
How about running a bit of sandpaper around the Inner edge also.
Is that Sand Paper that smooth it out? Can you do it by hand?
Yes i think so
Can you just dunk it in boiling water? And then into cold? Or should you pour the boiling water?
This the best method yet and safe. TFS
Good idea friend! Thank you so much! From southern of Brasil.
In Italy they used to do this with large bottles of Vine. They used the cut bottle to plant them next to lemon or orange trees, filled them shells and volcanic rocks and burned coal. When watering the tree the tree got nutrions and ONLY the tree. No puddles around the trees where mosquitos can breed.
Oh wow that's so cool! You can use the bottle bottom as an ashtray paint it and give it away as a gift! Neat!
Is that normal knife? Or some special knife to cut the bottle or glass?
Perfecr. Just boiled water is sometimes danger for draining pipes - could get huge leakages, particularly if washing machine connected on the same pipes ❤
Muito bom Parabéns nota 10 Obrigado
You think that method might work on thicker tube style glass?
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
Excellent narration
Needs some Dub Step in the background. Otherwise, perfect.
🤣🤣🇬🇧👍
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!
Going to try this,nice easy way to make some new glasses 🍾🍺🍻
I don't understand why you put the tape on the sides of the cut line. I don't know how useful it is.

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.
