By the time you invested in all of this high tech equipment, all you are gonna have is a bunch of wine bottle junk glasses. Do you have wind chimes made out of the bottle tops? Hell, if you had the corks, you could epoxy them, and super glue the bottle tops to them, stick a feather in them, and sell them as butt plugs. Please tell me that you do something more with this equipment. Grind the lenses for space telescopes, glasses, something?

@hisglassworksinc After watching several different presentations on this subject, it seems that this method is more time consuming than using a glass cutter. Using the wet saw produces a very rough edge that needs a great deal of finish work with the grinders and polishers. Conversely, scoring the bottle and using hot/cold water (when done properly) takes a few minutes longer to execute the cut, but saves time when finishing the edge(s) due to a much cleaner cut. What do you think?
@hisglassworksinc

You can fire polish the rims, but you need to be careful as wine bottles already have a fair amount of strain in them. Heating just the rim creates even more strain the glass and if someone where to use it with cold liquid it could shatter the glass while they are using it. Not a good thing. If you fire polish the rims, make sure to properly anneal the piece to avoid this type of situation.

Several things to try. If the blade is too rough or hasn't been dressed recently, it may pop out a chunk of the bottle at the end. If you are pushing too hard into the blade and not letting the blade dictate the speed, then the stress in the bottle is released near the end and causes a blowout. If you slow down too much at the end, you can build up heat in the bottle from the blade staying in one place too long and the strain pops the bottle there. You need to go slow and steady as you cut letting the blade dictate the speed. Don't put too much pressure on it. Don't stop near the end of the bottle but continue on through to the back of the blade and then bring the bottle back towards you after the blade has cut through. Don't stop at the end but continue on through the cut.

Wouldn't be a fan of touching saw blades myself, i wonder could your finger be caught between the blade and the table, for instance if you have the table half the width of your finger from the blade, I would imagine it would pull your finger through.

a kiln and small handtorch would be much faster and way cheaper. Sure you could have some fallout from stress but with the time it takes to grind and polish a single bottle using grinding techniques, you could have made 10+ with torch/kiln. Ive done it many times for friends and family.

I've always wondered if smoothing the edge could be done with a really high temp? Is that what you use a kiln? I also believe the hard part is the cooling down process, (would have to be really slow I would imagine)?

The MK saw is no longer being produced as MK is out of business but any decent wet saw will work. The blade is the important thing and we use this blade for bottle cutting: www.hisglassworks.com/grinding-tools/blades/fine-cut-blades/husqvarna-superlok-glass.html The grinder is the Covington variable speed 12-inch: www.hisglassworks.com/covington-variable-speed-12-inch-flat-lap-grinder.html but you can also use the Maxi-Lap for bottles: www.hisglassworks.com/10-inch-maxi-lap-grinder-with-steel-wheel-head.html

If you're looking for a single piece, it would be easier to hand lap the cut bottle with loose grit silicon carbide (we have a video covering hand lapping on our channel).

I'd love to do this for hobby/craft work. I have a nice wet saw similar to the one in the video since I do a lot of my own tile work. However, what tools could I use for sanding and polishing that are less costly than that tabletop grinder/polisher? Are there pads for use with a handheld grinder or drill that would work well enough?
@hisglassworksinc
Жыл бұрын
A lot depends on the number of pieces you're looking to make and if you're looking for making drinking glasses or candle holders. We do have the smaller Maxi-Lap grinder that is less than the larger 12-inch grinder. In a 10-inch size it works quite well for bottle cutting. You an also hand work rims with loose grit silicon carbide on a piece of plate glass for a very inexpensive solution. All can be found on our website www.hisglassworks.com

Thank you! What techniques do you use to remove the labels? You make it seem so simple when you say "once you take the labels off, it'll be nice and clear"... but in my experience, removing the labels is usually more difficult than cutting and polishing them!

Soak the bottles in water and dishwashing detergent overnight and the labels will typically slide off

I do a LOT of wine bottle tiki torches and remove labels by soaking in water for a bit then I use a grinder with a wire wheel to remove the labels FAST. Takes about 45 seconds if that....well over 200+ bottles and found it's the easiest way, then I use goo off to remove sticky glue, wash with soap/water and good as new.

A vice and a hand sander. Clamp the bottle in and sand till smooth, then use sandpaper for the inside and outside edges. It won't be as perfectly smooth as this, but perfectly fine for a drinking glass.
