Cutting Glass Bottles for Craft Projects

#recycle #cuttingbottles #woodturning
In this video i set out to cut some recycled bottles using a cheap bottle cutting jig i found on Amazon (no link) and use them in conjunction with led lights and candles.The bases are various things i had kicking around that i drilled and or turned on the lathe for the bottles to sit in

Anyone else flinched when Doug poured the hot water over the first bottle? Nice one, again, Doug! You could be an arts and crafts teacher! You seem to know so many (fun) ways to do crafty things!

Ha ha, I knew it was coming, but I still jumped when it fell!!! Candles in bottle glass is very hot right now, many with lables.

I remember the Rondo commercials in the 70's for the bottle and jar cutter . Brings back good memories . Cool project Doug thanks for the vid .

Everything old is new again. LED's are a nice touch. Stay safe, stay healthy.

A nice switch from wood carving...nifty way of cutting it and I always cut all the way through, Doug. Thanks!

Doug, you are in my top 5 favorite channels. Thanks for another great video. But, as Crafsman reminds us, "Don't forget your dust mask!" Especially when you are dry sanding glass.

Brings back memories of being a kid in the 70s

We make candies for fun. And this is just what we need to add that little extra to our candies. Thanks Doug.

I came across your videos last week and you've really inspired me to start carving. I've used you're tutorials to carve a few wizards with my swiss army knife and have today invested in some proper carving tools. I've been planning on making a bottle lamp for a few weeks, and the fact that you've posted this today makes it seem like it was meant to be. Thanks so much, you're truly inspiring.

What a nice arrangement of candles and fairy lights. When I fist clicked to watch, for some reason, I thought you were going to make them into outdoor string lights.

Hey Doug hope all is well buddy. Yeah we can go visit people on friday but only two adults at a time. Be good to see family and friends again. SD of course. Cheers mate from Australia 🇦🇺💯👍🏻

I've tried this wine bottle cutting with a jig that I improvised and it didn't work. You gave me enough information here to try it again with a commercial jig. I hugely enjoyed this video, and presenter Doug was really pleasant. Now I gotta shuck out twenty bucks for a bottle cutting jig and hope my wife doesn't tap-dance on my head.

A great way of upcycling the old glass bottles. I will make a couple for my wife. Thanks for the inspiration, Doug. Keep up the good work, you are doing a great job of cheering up the world!

That is beautiful. I guess I have never seen glad cut before. I jumped when the first one broke in two. Ha. Lovely candle lights. 💖

Very creative Doug. Never seen a string of fairy lights on a cork like that. Pretty neat. Thanks!
