good tip is to sand the edges once cut for safety. use 60 grit paper and then 240 for a smooth finish

Me: Trying to go to sleep. KZfaq: Wanna know 3 ways how you can cut glass? Me: sure.

After 10 videos, I ended up using a metal file, going around the bottle where I wanted to cut it until it was as good as I could get it. Then while the water was heating up to boil, I got bored. Got my blowtorch. Went around the filed part a couple times, then put it into water, and it worked! The acetone and string method is the closest to what I just did, and it seems MUCH more simple! Going to use that from now on! Got a nice whiskey glass made out of a Jameson bottle. The next one I make I'm doing the acetone string method and making it larger, more for regular drinking stuff, not a small whiskey glass.

I never thought of using a bottle cutter, absolute MADNESS!

I have tried every way there is. I'm sticking with the bottle cutter then candle method. It never fails and gives perfect results. No "do-overs". No frustration.

I'd do the second method for sure! Thank you for putting this up!!! Helpful.

Wow. I almost killed myself doing this (method #1) First of all, I made an incredibly stupid rookie mistake. I left the cork in the bottle I was cutting. Secondly acetone is more flammable that I thought it was, I mean this shit is like gasoline. I did this in my kitchen sink. When I lit the string on fire is was an out-of-control flame and I dropped the bottle in the sink. The gases from the acetone collected in the sink and did a huge flare up, burned my hand pretty bad. When I put the bottle in the bucket of water (remember I had left to cork in) the quick drop in pressure and temperature exploded the bottle 3 feet from my face. Every piece of glass missed me. I'm lucky I'm not fucking dead. So here's tip for you newbies (newbies like me), be fucking careful, do this shit outside, and wear protective equipment on your eyes and hands. The dude in the video is a pro whose done this a hundred times or more. And NEVER leave the fucking lid on. I can't believe I did that. Good video, good tutorial, just be careful if you've never done this before.

He makes it look so EASY. Great video....way better than the first one I saw and not going to mention. I am ready to get started. Glad I didnt use a propane torch. Candle so much more efficient. Perfect.

This is great! I have some beautiful blue bottles that I have been saving. Now, I will give them a second purpose. Thank you!

I tried the first method and it resulted in the breaks not being where I intended. Scoring and using 2 candles to maximise heat and getting it v hot then cooling in water caused the cracks to appear in the right place. Thanks for the video!

I've broken so many cups but have allot of wine bottles to replace them! great video

I like your ideas and the "bottle music" at the backstage😊. Thank you.🍾

So I have the bottle , got the string , the acetone and away I go . Looks really simple to do . After setting fire to the string the sink then caught fire where I'd poured the acetone over the string and the whole bottle was in flames and so was my hand .In panic I ran yelling " the house is on fire" to my bemused boyfriend who casually turned the tap on .After putting more thought into what I was doing and 3 more tries this did actually work . Safety first !

Thanks Gru!

Cool video, I throw away so much class every day, little bit of time and I could have a collection of soda bottle glasses

great video, tried this myself and it worked in the video I produced. Thanks again.

That was. A lot of help my brother ! Thank you from Colorado

Works perfectly. If the string is thin and tightened as much as possible, the cut could be made very precise. Tried it. Worked very well. Thanks!

Your videos are so helpful . thank you !

For quicker cut using glass cutter, simply apply very hot water to bottle after using glass cutter, then apply very cold water. It’ll snap off quickly

Man, I have been looking for this since ever! Thanks a lot! ;D You are glass bottle cutting king. ;] Regards.

So i wanted to make some cool diy's with this glass bottle. So I found this video at last and I was amazed of how easy the string method was. Next I took a string, vine bottle and and pure alchocol instead of acetone. Next when I put the string on fire it went well. Next I dropped the bottle to a basin of water but it did not brake. I tried it again but suddenly the whole bottle caught on fire and we all screamed for the sake of our lives. The videos good. The moral lesson of this tutorial is think twice before you leap as nd also safety first.↕

I'm a new collector and I appreciate your information I hope to one day be like your community or coin collection

Should mention that the edge of the cut glass needs to be smoothed down with a grinding stone or heavy duty sand paper. so none gets cut...no bloody mess please!

Thank you for the demo of glass cutting. I was wondering if you could help me figure out how to Evenly cut the tiny light bulps from Christmas light chains (from a light chain that doesn't work any more)? I need them for my Miniature project, but I cannot find any tools that are small enough and safe for this purpose. I tried using a small drill with a flat cutting disk, and it works, but the edge is not even and it is too much work to have to sand the edges after... Do you have any ideas as to what I can do? Thanks again. :)

Hello, does the acetone process work with average sized wine bottles? Or is it only effective on the smaller bottles?

Great job. keep it up. 👍

the mystery of bottle cutting was solved..thank you😆

Use sturdy leather gloves for handling glass. Make sure you clean any acetone off your hands or gloves before you light the string.

Great work! The acetone method was a pleasant surprise; I've never heard of that trick before. I'm definitely going to try it. If it comes out smooth enough, it'll be a drinking glass, and if not, it'll be a vase.

Very helpful, thank you!

Very good idea, I'm going to try it

Really fantastic! Thank a lot for your channel :)

If glass cuts you, you cut it back

You've really out effort into your video. Props!

the best and easy way. thanks

So cool! I always wanted to cut bottles. I won't be throwing them away anymore. Thanks for posting.

I have a few calypso lemonade bottles that are beautiful and I cannot wait to do this too. (method 1 of course)

Great video, I enjoyed watching it. Cut you please let me know which strength of cutting knife you used (2, 4 or 6?)

Good work n nice drums 🪘 n music 😊

WOW! Candle and ice. First time perfect cut. Took two heating's far enough away to avoid carbon buildup. When I went to dry the bottle off after the second icing, my beer bottle fell apart. Spent about 10 min with sand paper to break the edges on both top and bottom. Thank you for the education.

Would it be advantageous to combine aspects of different methods? For example, score the bottle as in method #2, then tie an acetone-soaked string to it and proceed as normal for method #1?

Its really nice bro

Super! How long does this take to do? I live near a bottle recycling place & I can get all the free bottles I want.

method one is very simple. make sure the inside of the glass is dry or you will have difficulties as the water inside the glass will absorb heat and the glass will not break cleanly if at all. Just be patient and make sure the glass is dry and you will have no problems :) i've done method one dozens of times. Most of the glasses in my cabinets are reused glass bottles :)

Very useful tips! Thank you! I just got me a bottle cutter. The instruction said I should soak the scores with hot water and cold water. Didn't work. I saw your video and tried number 3. It worked! However, my bottle did not separate as smooth as yours and didn't follow the line I scored with my cutter. Any idea why?

You make it look so easy

Great video, thanks for the info!

Very nice video. Thank you so much for sharing. But I have a question here, I assume the cut-out surface will be of rough texture, so do I need to polish them, say in case I want to use the bottom portion as drinking glass (a bit weird may sound). Thank and appreciate again for such a wonderful video.

This is a good technique for cutting bottle and to put yourself to sleep.

This was super helpful! Thanks for sharing your process.

Good work, interesting video

Whenever working with Glass wear gloves.

there's so many kids and adults with not much common sense on here I'm kinda surprised there's no disclaimer or warning at the beginning of this video to not try this at home or you're a professional/done this 100 times before so wear safety equipment Edit: there are warnings in the description, idk if that was added after this video was tried by those celebs, but still maybe it should've been on the video visually as well

Can you use a saw to cut glass or score glass? If it's riff on the edges what grit of sandpaper do you think would be the best.

What about scoring with a glass cutter and then use the string/acetone method to get it to split ?

For those of you who dont know what is he reffering to when he says "acid" It is Nail polish remover. An you dont need a lot of it.

brb making a gravity bong

Thanks for sharing. Would this work on ceramic?

Nice Job!!!

IMPORTANT - sand the edges, they are razor sharp

First idea took a few tries, but put the bottle in cold water before the fire dies.... it works! Thank you Shake The Future :)

Super la información y sobretodo .q la explicación está clara .y en español.DIOS TE BENDIGA.Y GUARDE TU ALMA

i so love your video. can u tell me wat suitable string will i use pls ty

Dude your grammar is on POINT 😂😂

First one. *Science* Second two. *Sharp things.*

3 option is awesome 👍

Can we cut whiskey bottles as well using the same process. Asking this because the glass is bit more tough compared to wine or beer bottles.

background song just like in Far Cry 2 Good job

I like method 1 the best.

Ayos Ang galing 👍👍.

Using the 2nd one combined with an ice water tub for cooling was effective for me.

He sounds like gru of despicable me 😂

Yes, easy to see how easily a fire starts.

Geniaal, gracias

Superb technical video thank you so much nice to seend this

Young dude: Here's a free tip for you. Use gloves.

Make sure you are wearing safety goggles and gloves in case the bottle shatters.

What grit sand paper would you use to smooth the edges?

Good sharing bottle cutting

don't you have to sand the edges?

"Remember to wear gloves,"--Clearly not wearing gloves :P

hi, i have tried many times but i couldn't cut it smoothly, its always wavy. any tricks do you suggest

I want to try this. How can I smooth to around the rim so I can use it as a drinking glass? Prefectly smooth if possible.

should you wear glove for hand protection

' after cutting the glass bottle then use a fine fine sandpaper on the cutting edge glass... that help smooth edge and not sharp cut on the skin

Best of the bests

I'm guessing you could use a length of kanthal wire and a regulated Ecig to heat the wire?

How to cut a bottle: use a bottle cutter

hybrid between method 1 and 2 should work

these are great guts. is it however safe to use them drinking glass?

After scoring the bottle with a glass cutter, insert a metal rod with a ball type tip into the bottle and gently tap the score line all around the inside of the bottle.

It made me so nervous every time he would touch or run he's finger around the rim!😰 All I could think about is the nasty cut he could get!😖

Wear protective goggles, gloves..and file the edge of the glass with a heavy duty sandpaper.

Men thanks! So cool, I’ll do it right know

I am in need of cutting pint mason jars in half lengthwise. Any instructions appreciated.

I'm only here to work out how you'd manage to get third degree burns doing this.

He Sounds A Little Bit Like The Guy In Despicable Me

good method. another way I was doing it. I was breaking bottles more than getting a good cut. the part I wanted broke and the part I didn't want was perfect.

Hey man love the video and the accent
