Those square ones are harder for me to cut cleanly so good on this candle maker.
Oh I try cutting it one and it was a disaster. Better to user professional equipment
My cutter simply won’t handle some of what I’m seeing here. How do you think they did it?
something like this maybe. I haven’t shopped for this stuff in almost 15 years and the available options are much better/cheaper than they used to be
That’s a nice upgrade on mine! Much love.
please tell me why people cut these bottles, what is their end objective with this craft?
I made a bunch of drinking glasses. I used a jig to score and hot water to pop it off so it broke smooth and relatively even. Light polishing and there you go. After doing it a while I got the feel well enough to do with beer bottles which I would then drink liquor out of and shatter against the side of my house during bonfires. Unlimited possibilities
How do you cut them? I’ve thought of getting a tile saw and doing that.
I used a jig with a small cutting wheel to score the bottle then heat the score line with boiling ( or near boiling for thinner glass) and then dip it in water to break along the line. Polish with emery cloth or high grit sandpaper. The less delta T between the hot water and the dip water the smoother the cut. Finding your preferred Temps for the thickness of the glass is the art.
Edit: Boiling water
i just kind of assumed they were also scented like the bottle they were in and thought “Who would want a vodka scented candle???”
It’s to remind you of all the shot girls over the years. Ahhh, memories.
Definitely thought everything was filled with milk
Found the mormon!
I don’t drink anymore, but I still have 2 lamps I made out of liquor bottles lol
Awful taste, but great execution.
